Many White Evangelicals Believe Putin Invaded Ukraine to Rid the Country of Pedophiles

“The General Secretary of the Russian Evangelical Alliance has sent an open letter to all evangelicals, in which he laments his country’s military invasion of Ukraine.

Vytaly Vlasenko, who is also pastor of a Baptist church in Moscow, shares his dismay and sorrow for the victims, the material losses, the refugees, and the hard-to-predict consequences of an armed conflict such as the one that has unfolded in recent weeks.”

Evangelical Focus Europe

Most American white evangelicals believe that Russia has a special role to play in the End Times, and they are convinced that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is a prelude to the final battle of Armageddon when Russia faces off against Israel, America and the Muslim countries. Never mind that in reality Russia enjoys a good relationship with Israel.

Then there are the white American evangelicals who have praised the Almighty for Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked and genocidal invasion of Ukraine, believing he is engaged in a crusade against an international cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles who have interests in Ukraine.

No rational person believes that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is the sign of the End Times, or that the brutal dictator Putin invaded his neighbor to kill pedophiles. But white evangelicals are science-denying idiots who believe in myths, superstitions and wild conspiracy theories.

But thank God that the leader of the Russian Evangelical Alliance isn’t afraid to speak truth to power and condemn Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Unlike American evangelicals Vlasenko recognizes Putin for what he is: a despot who wants to revive the Soviet Empire.

Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine Has Evangelicals Convinced This Is the End of the World

Since the dawn of humankind there have been wars and rumors of wars. We’re all familiar with the Holocaust that took the lives of six million Jews, and the Cambodia Killing Fields, but genocides continue to take place with alarming and sickening regularity.  In the late 1990’s genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina led to the death of over 200,000 Muslim civilians. In 1994 groups of ethnic Hutu, armed mostly with machetes, butchered an estimated 800.000 persons of other ethnic minorities. Since 2003 the genocide raging in the Darfur region of Sudan has killed an estimated 800,000 people and more than 2.5 million have been displaced from their homes.

Evangelicals have been unmoved by the genocides of the modern era, as long as it’s Africans and Muslims being exterminated, they don’t seem to care.

But when it’s white Europeans being exterminated, and they see the devastation and destruction of a modern European country on their TVs every day, all of a sudden, they are in terror, warning us heathen that the Apocalypse is right around the corner.

Evangelicals have long believed that Russia has a special role to play in the End Times, and they are convinced that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is a prelude to the final battle of Armageddon when Russia faces off against Israel, America and the European countries. Never mind that in reality Russia enjoys a good relationship with Israel.

Racist white evangelicals need to chill the fuck out. Every war is not a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine is just another bloody chapter in human history.

Pat Robertson the Evangelical Crypt Keeper Says Putin’s Invasion of Ukraine Fulfillment of Biblical Prophecy

The recently retired televangelist Pat Robertson came out of retirement to gleefully declare that Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine to set the stage for the ultimate End Times war in Israel.

I don’t take advice on geopolitics or theology from an entity that looks like the Crypt Keeper on crack.

Pat Robertson, like most evangelicals, practically creamed his pants when Russia attacked Ukraine without any justification or provocation because it fits his eschatology that the final battle of Armageddon will pit Russia against Israel.

Robertson has no concern for the hundreds of civilians who have already been killed, or the thousands of casualties that will be the inevitable outcome of Russia’s monstrous invasion of a thriving democracy.

Robertson is deliriously happy because he thinks Russia’s invasion of its neighbor means that Jesus will soon his rapture his decrepit body.

Fuck Robertson and any other evangelical who interpret wars from an eschatological viewpoint, and are blind to human suffering.  

Evangelicals Have Shown Their True Colors, They Love Putin and Dictatorships More Than They Love Jesus and Democracy

I became an evangelical in the 1970’s and at that time the major tenets of evangelicalism were the belief in the inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible, the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the conviction that the Soviet Union, and later Russia, was anti-American, anti-Christ and an existential threat to democracy and Christianity.

Russia played a major role in evangelical eschatology; Russia and the anti-Christ would battle with Jesus and his angels in the final battle of Armageddon.

Republican politicians demonized liberals as commie-loving traitors who were undermining democracy.

How things have changed, the script flipped during the dictator-loving Trump administration. Republicans and many evangelicals laud the homophobic Vladimir Putin as a patriotic leader who is fighting for the survival of Christian values.

At this crucial juncture in history when Putin has invaded Ukraine and the fate of Eastern Europe hangs in the balance, Republicans and white evangelicals are heaping praise on the courage and genius of Putin.

Evangelicals have shown their true colors, they value white authoritarian regimes more than democracy and freedom.

Trump Praises Putin’s Aggression as ‘Wonderful’ and ‘Genius’

“Former US president Donald Trump hailed ‘genius’ Russian leader Vladimir Putin for recognising two breakaway regions of Ukraine and sending in troops as ‘peacekeepers’ to the areas.

While Putin was scorned by US President Joe Biden and other western leaders, Trump was full of praise for his ‘best friend.’

During an interview on a right-wing radio programme, The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, Trump said it was ‘wonderful,’ ‘so smart,’ and even ‘genius’ for Putin to “declare a large portion of Ukraine as independent.”

WION

None of us who witnessed President Donald Trump siding with Russia against the FBI at the Helsinki summit were surprised by his fawning praise of the Russian dictator’s invasion of Ukraine.

Nobody who loves democracy and hates tyranny thinks it was wonderful, smart and genius for Putin to declare a large portion of Ukraine as independent.

No peace-loving American would accept Putin’s Orwellian description of his invading force as “peacekeepers.” “That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. They’re gonna keep the peace all right”, gushed the twice-impeached former president.

Trump doesn’t care that his words will embolden the authoritarian Putin, and that his ebullient praise will be used as propaganda. He doesn’t care about what’s in the best interest of America and democracy, he only seeks to “own the libs” and to denigrate Joe Biden.

Republicans who once accused liberals as commie-loving traitors, now rejoice in Trump’s approval of Putin’s invasion of a democratic state. Ronald Reagan is turning over in his grave.

Republicans Pretend to Love Trump’s Ass, Nobody Pretends to Love His Mind

In the impeaching hearings the Democrats’ lawyer, Daniel Goldman, asked Ambassador Gordon Sondland if he recalled telling President Donald Trump that the Ukrainian leader “loves your ass” during a July 26 call at a restaurant in Kiev.

Sondland, who isn’t a career diplomat with a penchant for using diplomatic language, conceded that he could have said that because it sounds like something I would say.

The billionaire who bought his ambassadorship by donating a cool million to Trump’s inauguration said “that’s how President Trump and I communicate. A lot of four-letter words. In this case, three letters.”

He explained that he was putting it in “Trump-speak.” I can imagine how frustrating it must be for anyone who interacts with Trump daily, he must dumb down his vocabulary and spice up his conversation with expletives.

I doubt that Zelensky or anybody else in the world loves Trump’s wrinkled orange ass, but there are many who at least pretend to like him.

But there isn’t a single person in the world who’s claimed to love Trump’s head or his intellect. However, there are many politicians with brown noses, a testament to how much they love Trump’s ass.

I don’t love Trump’s ass, in fact I hate his racist and vulgar ass, and I’m going to kick his ass to the curb come election time.

Mike Pence Desperately Tries to Distance Himself From Donald Trump

A footman servant was never too far behind his Lord and Maser, he had to be close by to serve meals and open and close doors, in short, he had to be at his Lord’s beck and call.

Mike Pence is always by his boss’s side, gazing lovingly at him while he spews nonsense. Pence’s brown nose is testament to how close he is figurately and literally to Trump’s fat ass.

Even though Trump and Pence are joined at the hip, the vice president is desperately trying to keep his distance from Trump’s intensifying Ukraine scandal. Those efforts are going particularly well, Trump deliberately enmeshed his second-in-command in his campaign to exert pressure on the leader of Ukraine. If Trump goes down, so will Pence, Barr, Mulvaney, Pompeo and all the other spineless cowards who are covering up for him.

When the shit hit the fan and the news of the Zelensky call broke, Trump told reporters:

“I think you should ask for VP Pence’s conversation, because he had a couple of conversations also.”

Trump rewarded Pence for his obsequiousness by throwing him under the bus.

NBC News’ Vaughn Hillyard asked Pence several times if he was aware the Trump administration was delaying aid to Ukraine to pressure Ukrainian President Vlodomyr Zelensky to go after Biden. A simple “yes” or “no” would have sufficed, but Pence filibustered and otherwise avoided answering the question.

Nothing illustrates Pence’s futile attempt to distance himself from Trump’s Ukraine scandal that his exchange with Hillyard.
