Painful to read, heartbreaking beyond comprehension.

Man's biggest folly is that he ignores Almighty God and refuses to seek His council. Disaster always follows. Daniel the Prophet understood this well and said in Daniel 2:

20“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,

to whom belong wisdom and might.

21He changes times and seasons;

he removes kings and sets up kings;

he gives wisdom to the wise

and knowledge to those who have understanding;

22he reveals deep and hidden things;

he knows what is in the darkness,

and the light dwells with him."

If you think previous wars were bad, I tell you the unvarnished truth; humanity has seen nothing yet. God has graciously revealed His plans, but very few search the scriptures to know them, and even fewer heed His warnings.

The first stage is when we ignore each other as individuals and as nations.. There are those of us who believe others are less human beings..

Though truly unfortunate the likely result of the present deluded Western Hubris and bellicosity will inevitably be, I say bring it on, then and only then following a proper shellacking will it result Russia will live the peace so long deserved, the present conflagration a continuation of the WW2 campaign, and especially the itch that the U.K and U.S Generals and political class had with regard to defeating Russia, the war had barely ended or rather was near its end ASX Russia closed in on Berlin, and these warmongers agitated to open a front against their ally who had all but single handedly as we know defeated Hitler and his 150 divisions…

I mean seriously you wouldn’t read about it, and literally you don’t and can’t as such is so deeply buried from the official narrative, by the time of the Nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Americans had stockpiled and targeted 600 Russian targets for similar destruction, only the U.S President and Eisenhower defying them that wet dream… such illustrates the evil that inculcates those given power not earned but bequeathed them ex the efforts of others…

As we know ever since, the West has openly been hostile to Russia, a nation they have vilified, denigrated, derided, and called incessantly to go to War against, I say as stated, bring it on, Russia we know is militarily stronger, will be fighting on its own turf, has the World’s greatest industrial economy behind it… contrast such against the Wests offerings, all but de industrialised, thoughts of recreating WW2 like Home conditions a dream, there is no base to start from, a population that is uneducated from a industrial perspective and if such a conflagration occasioned it would be decades before the West could match Russias military industrial output let alone China’s, not to mention the military technological superiority Russia has and we haven’t even discussed the experience Russia’s armed forces have gained the last 4 years.. yep, deal to them sit them on their jacksies, then and only then will Russia finally get its much deserved peace, sad it’s the only likely outcome to resolve this madness…bu5 if i5 must be, I’m backing Russia… all the way.. just saying

I am a citizen of a continent of the people who are regarded as inferior by those of the so-called higher IQ.. But I understand all this too well that Russia isn't what Westerners would have liked us to believe, something which is blatant decades-old own propaganda.. How come the higher IQ people of the West are missing the point about Russia and are so devilishly hateful towards Russia for such a long time, and for what good reason as the Russian also are people of faith?

The truth must be the fact that the West can't colonize Russia and they won't forgive every Russian of every of generation..

Thank you for your considered reply..it is appreciated and the points enunciated I agree with.

Unfortunately greed, avarice, the coveting of Russias resources though not the cause of the Napoleonic Wars, nor Crimea, resources valued at USD$70-90Trillions by the IMF and World Bank respectively, the above figures sans the Arctic Respurces under the Sea in Russias EEZ, estimated conservatively at a further USD$40-70Trillions by the U.S Geographical Survey, is the predominant reasoning for the latter day hatred of Russia, its peoples.

The Western nations, bankrupted, their Fiat monetary system all but completely debased, coupled the obscene debt to GDP trap that each of these “Garden” nations, led the “smartest in the room” types who have via their masters corrupted Western politicians whether elected or unelected resulted in the largest upward transfer of wealth in human history… contemporaneously destroying the middle class and lower upper echelon of the wealth class, wealth… both now hollowed out, think the U.K as a case in point, many HNWI’s have voted with their feet, relocating from the U.K, in the process accelerating the debt trap they face by denying the U.K Chancellor of the Exchequer a much required tax take… the result ever more of a squeeze on services relied upon by those of the populace truly in need of such support… meanwhile Elinsky, he who made illegal the use of the letter “Z”… go figure, the corrupted, drug addled illegitimate leader of that NAZI shithole being used by the West against Russia to achieve their Wet Dream of balkanising Russia.

Given a taste in the 1990’s under Yeltsin, they salivate for more, despise Vladimir V Putin taking control, booting them out, restarting Russias inexorable rise back to true superpower status, a status achieved 2019/20, Russia today bestrides the global stage self assured, totally on top of its game on every metric, it has survived unprecedented sanctions, being the most heavily sanctioned nation on the planet, its currency earlier this week reaching its highest level measured against the USD, its military technology is battle proven in the crucible of modern conflict, its economy is strong, its borrowings to GDP at 19% of GDP is amongst the lowest in the world, contrast that position against Western economic powerhouses 😂😂 all purveyors of the fraud that is Keynesian economics, a Madoff Scheme on Steroids, each year theirs, Western Governments debt needing to grow in order the entire edifice can be sustained, in short, Western Economic powerhouses and policy is all built upon a foundation of sand, the last Western grizzle those in charge, who we know by their actions and deeds worship in the synagogue of Satan, is their disdain for anything God Centric, especially governments… Russia is a deeply religious nation, God, Family, Faith, Nation/State is the order by which they exist, just as in Venezuela, Iran, the Western ghouls and warmongers will readily attack any such nation, one need only review the opening ceremonies of recent Olympic events, CERN, to understand the predilection for evil harboured the so called elites… such is their first red line, the next being they will never, or until Russia/China developed BRICS+ its economic policy and architecture, the West led the U.S, U.K, France troika would never tolerate any nation breaking ranks and not using the U.S.D or GBP or Franc, need proof, Saddam wanted to and had announced cessation of trading oil in USD, Gadaffi had announced a gold backed Libyan pound that he wanted introduced across Africa as a currency, well, we know their respective fates… both joining a number of foreign leaders assassinated, ousted, coup’d.. however in Russia, China the West finally have met their match, they, the West are going backwards faster than any French or Italian army WW2 were infamous for doing… watch this space, you are living in history, an unprecedented in modern times true shift in power… the risk, if the West overreaches they will be .. simply destroyed.. it matters not how, conventional or nuclear, the outcome will be the same.. personally I don’t care for nuclear, but boy, am I hoping they take Russia on conventionally, it will be great to view, finally these assholes get the shellacking so long deserved, the down side obviously… the innocent Russian military death, injury that would result… pray it never eventuates but should these Warmongering Western dip sticks believe their rhetoric and decide to go to that dance, the result will not be pretty, Russia won’t fight SMO style against them, it will be War, full, unmitigated War… as it should be.. will definitely be.. and in that regard I fully back Russia, its military, weaponry to totally annihilate and destroy these bloviators and wind bags… I mean, seriously it is getting truly tiresome listening to their crap… just saying

The European Union leaders are demonic dumbshit apparatchiks of the globalist leviathan, and desperately want war to facilitate the realization of the globalist fantasy. They want war. They want it badly. They're doing everything they can do to hasten WW3. The USA needs to get the hell out of NATO immediately. If Trump gets dragged into WW3 by euro scumbag satanists, he's going down as the worst president in history and the USA is over, raped and murdered by globalist schemers.

They want war.”

Indeed & ironic since they completely lack the wherewithal to wage one! England’s had a Russia fixation @ least since The Crimean War of 1854. FSR they shied away from fighting them in 1939 after Stalin hit Poland & then Finland in rapid succession.

Gotta love your deep dive into history of mistaken assumptions and miscalculated depths of Russian winters. However 200 years on, seems EU politicians are distracting attention away from their bankrupt states while simultaneously drooling over $75 trillion (estimated) in untapped Russian natural resources. You may want to listen to this recent interview and follow Martin more closely, as his Socrates system is tracking cash flows worldwide. Enjoy this financial/political discussion:

This has got to be said over and over.

The problem is rule and male rule is even worse. The idea of rulers is barbaric, antiquated and just plain dumb. Why would anyone agree to be ruled? By anyone? Life is free. The land was given freely. The water too and all the resources. Yet we let these stupid dunces put on their elaborate robes and think we need to have someone rule us.

By holding this foundational belief, we keep ourselves retarded.

Self proclaimed "Royals" have always enriched themselves, while impoverishing & enslaving their "servants" thru-out human history!

But it will soon END acc to God's Word, the Bible at ARMAGEDDON!

This is NOT Nuclear WW3, but instead the destruction of ALL EVIL ON EARTH! When Jesus our King leads legions of God's Angels all over the world.

[Read Revel 20]

"And they will by no means escape!". [1Thess 5:3]

Then there will be a mass resurrection of Billions of faithful, meek & humble ones to live in peace on Paradise Earth, forever! [Rev 21:3-8]

Only 144K anointed ones will be resurrected to Heaven

[Rev 14:1-3] to co-rule over the planet with Jesus forever! [DanIel 2:44]

This is True Prophecy from ALMIGHTY GOD, which will absolutely be fulfilled in the very near future, just as 100% of all other prophetic scripture has already come true. Therefore, we can now believe everything recorded in The Bible!✨

I do find it rather pretentious that anyone knows the mind of god however I have to giggle because there is no god of course, it's a myth that was deliberately injected into our psyche to keep us under control. We are magnificent beings and we are the source, each of us. I know that sounds facetious but we really do need to consider alternatives or at least ask why the heck this so called god never does anything and it's pretty late to the party. Why does he wait till it gets this bad? The answer is I say, because there is no god. And anyway why expect him to fix the mess we caused. Most people still use banks, still pay taxes and by doing this it funds the very evil we purport to detest. The evil is us, it's in our accepting degrading behaviors from the ones we know, the people in our very circles.

They fooled us with everything. We really are the drivers. It's really "as below, so above" not the way they told us. This takes a whole different perspective, one that has rarely if ever been considered until now, as we question everything. For our very survival.

The geography of Russia was important. Napolean wasn't able to use Russian rivers to help him because the rivers ran perpendicular to the route he took to drive into Russia.

I always like to bring this up.. One US Congressman once visited apartheid South Africa for a fact-finding mission in the 80s.. Upon returning home, he made a remarkable statement.. He said on his visit, he had met various people but the ones who were, "interesting people in South Africa" , he had met with, none of them were in government. The same appears to be the case all over the world..

The Europeans think that the closeness of Ukraine to Moscow gives them an advantageous point to attacking Moscow. But Russia isn't doing anything to invite an attack from Europe. This war against Russia is a stupid plan to attack against a smaller nation than they were organized to defend against. This is why Russia wants to have a buffer against NATO, states that have no loyalty to NATO and don't want to participate by being in the middle of a war between the East and West.

The "eccentric man" admires Napoleon. Unfortunately it's not only the eccentric who admire their heartless, greedy, egomaniacal, and often psychopathic leaders. And as his Russian campaign illustrates, our leaders aren't even very smart or perceptive. They just have certain "leadership" qualities that compel most people to admire and follow them. And, they know how easy it is to con the gullible masses. That says as much about human beings in general as it does about the depravity of our leaders. As I've gotten older and the rose-colored glasses have faded, I find myself feeling less sympathy for the self-inflicted misery of most people. The huge majority who willingly lined up for the COVID jabs comes to mind, of course. What an obvious scam it was, from the beginning. Didn't matter how obvious it was. Not being stone idiots, my wife and I never remotely considered getting the jabs, despite being in the senior age group they tried to scare the most.

Leftist lunatics are deindustrializing Europe, pursuing net zero and the ever increasing welfare state... and fantasising about war with Russia at the same time. It's beyond crazy. Not to mention that North Korea has singlehandedly delivered more ammunition and military equipment to Russia than the whole EU to Ukraine.

This is me hearing you, John Leake. Many do not have eyes to see and ears to ear. Unfortunately. God is not mocked. The Bible makes it plain, what is about to happen, with the arrogant godless in charge of igniting the formidable fire that is coming. Jesus saves. Only Jesus can save. Thanks for sounding the alarm. You will have no blood on your hands at judgement. God bless you, John.

Yes, sadly so many have been influenced by the current ruler of the world - Satan [1John 5:19] who blinds them & "tickles their ears" with all kinds of lies, propaganda & immoral distractions!

SO many unbelievers will have blood on their hands for all their evil deeds & even indifference towards Almighty God, The Father, our Creator & His Mighty Son Jesus, our beloved King of God's Kingdom (Govt) soon to rule exclusively over the whole World. [Daniel 2:44]

But that won't be John Leake nor you David Kukkee! Or even myself, nor other true Christians of great faith!

Because we already know from Biblical prophecy my, that Jesus is coming back to Earth with legions of Angels to destroy ALL EVIL ON EARTH! This time with Fire & Lightning⚡⚡So keep praying for that special Day 🙏 IJN, 💥AMEN Brothers & Sisters! ✨ Hallelujah!!

Keen observation. However, a point of theology comes to the foreground, which we should discuss. Do we adhere to a theology in which we are puppets waiting on a puppet master to come save us? Or do we participate with our God in efforts to defeat Satan? Are we worthless Barbies and Kens waiting to be moved around, or are we Saints infused with Christ Consciousness? I think it matters how we see theology - the nature of God and the nature of our relationship with God.
