Good vs evil. It may be just that simple. Progressives take issue with that concept and think their is no good or evil no right or wrong no real difference between men and women so they may not be able to grasp the significance of this war and may be why they are so hesitant to go all in with giving Ukraine the weapons it needs to win it.

" the Ukrainian government has recognized the value of teaching the Good Book to young, impressionable minds."



"Ukraine, to some extent, is kind of the Bible Belt of Eastern Europe. They have been pushing Christian values, they have been standing up for God for a long time, and they've been a beacon of light for quite some time now."

Wtf lol

Religion and so-called "Christian values" are not the issues here.

Ukraine the bible belt of Europe? LMAO
Apparently they use the bible in their schools. I know that offends the left and may make them rethink their supposed support for Ukraine but it is what it is.

Is that why eight republican congress critters just voted against stopping trade with russia? I thought one of your representatives just called zelenskyy a thug and ukraine was corrupt and pushing a woke agenda?

Good v republicans.

From the article:


"Three years ago, the leader of the world's Orthodox Churches in Istanbul, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, granted the Ukraine Orthodox Church independence from the Russian Church in Moscow. It's called autocephaly.

To Western officials, it seemed a victory for religious freedom. But to Putin and the closely aligned Russian clergy, it was a shattering slap in the face.

Said Brownback, "That blew a gasket with the Russian Orthodox church. They were livid. It was also 40 percent of their membership, roughly, in Ukraine."


40% of the membership, wow, that's a hard blow which assuredly has fostered resentment. Never heard of this before, and I'm sure it could possibly play a role in this war.

The establishment church in Russia is very supportive of Putin in the same way it was of evil kings throughout history. Ukraine broke away from that church and wars have been fought over this type of fracture in Europe for centuries.

The male swimmer who identifies as a woman is breaking all records and liberals support him. No men no women no right no wrong no good no evil. All are arcane concepts to progressives.

Who said I want war with Russia? If you need to create a straw man to make your argument your argument is fatally flawed.
So you dont believe we should attack Russia in Ukraine and stop this carnage?

I believe Biden has drug his feet in aiding Ukraine with weapons they need to win this war which let it happen initially and prolongs it now.

Yea, those damn people on the left still don't want to believe America should be a theocracy. Constitution and 240 years of jurisprudence be damned!

Ummm—you do know that the great bulk of those labeled Putin’s Pals here at DP are solid RIGHT-WINGERS, not liberals, right? The liberals ares standing up for the freedom and democracy of Ukraine while the right wingers are coming up with all sorts of lame excuses “justifying” Putin’s murderous invasion.

Actually it's Russia that is closer to a theocracy with the establishment church fully supporting the murdering Putin and his war.

Interesting idea.

I think it's more like barbarism vs civilization.

Not a bad point. Just like the mullahs Putin seems stuck in the past. The western world has moved on and are appalled by this sort of invasion of another country.

It is that simple.

Progressives suck. Simple, no?

it's why progressives can't see it's that simple and why they won't commit to stopping Putin. Biden has bern dragging his feet since the beginning.

Whatever. Hey, if you had just been efficient with "progressives suck," I would have given you a thumbs up.

Trying to disingenuously tie progressives to Ukraine to evil is just too much unnecessary drama for my taste.

Have fun though.

It sounds to me like you're trying to whitewash Trump's support of a hideous individual like Putin.

Or more specifically -- you're trying to whitewash evangelical Christians' support of a hideous individual like Trump.

These are lies. It is almost exclusively right wingers who are showing their commitment to being Putin’s Pals in DP and elsewhere.
