Of late, we are hearing more war propaganda from Western media that Ukraine is now, somehow, winning on the battlefront, having launched a surprise incursion into Russia proper in the Kursk area. But even now, hidden in these articles is a glimmer of reality… that Russia is, overall, rapidly gaining ground and chewing up the Western-backed Ukrainian Army. Moreover, Ukrainian losses in the Kursk attack appear to amount to the destruction of up to three brigades.
Nobody is doubting the fighting ability of Ukrainian troops, but my conversations with local people have reinforced how strong Western war propaganda truly is.
As an historical aside, many in the West know little about the Russo-German part of World War II. In January 1945, the entire German frontline in Poland fell apart under the weight of a massive Russian offensive. Russian armored columns swept across Poland towards the Oder River, a water barrier only about 50 miles from Berlin.
The Germans planned a counteroffensive, called Operation SOLSTICE, to destroy the Russian spearheads. A motley collection of units, spearheaded by six Nazi Waffen-SS divisions, slammed into Russian forces in the area of Stargard[1] on 15 February 1945. This offensive managed to gain 20 miles of territory before being ground to a halt with heavy losses. While a failure, it convinced the Russian leadership that northern Poland had to be cleared of German forces before they conducted an assault on Berlin. That assault started on 16 April, and ended with Germany’s utter defeat and surrender.
And this brings me back to today. One can laud an occasional attack by Ukrainian forces but reality is a tough beast to ignore. The Russians are taking their time, protecting their human resources while using artillery and drones to smash not only Ukrainian forces, but deplete NATO and U.S. resources. For anyone who is a serious observer of events in Ukraine, there is little doubt that NATO and the United States is currently at war with Russia. Indeed, it could be argued that we have been at war with Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union, yet a war we are now losing.
But in that context, Western Christians need to ask a hard question: should they really want to see the West win a war with Orthodox Christian Russia? After all, our neo-con leaders, both in America and Europe, have made it abundantly clear that their notion of “democracy” is to impose any and all degenerate behaviors on the rest of the world. This includes Russia, who wants nothing to do with what Vladimir Putin called America’s “Satanic” ideology of transgenderism.[2]
One must recall that Christians in the Roman Empire were not persecuted because they were Christians, but because they were considered traitors to the Roman system of degenerate world hegemony and the lordship of Caesar as God on earth.
Sadly, today many Western Christians, unlike their predecessors in Rome, are falling for Western war propaganda and the pagan globalist American Empire. Why should Christians in the West, or anywhere for that matter, support a system that wants to mandate anti-Christian degeneracies on us and the rest of the world?

It’s an interesting take. But I really don’t see a religious aspect to this war. The only thing the US should look at is whether or not Ukraine is in any a critical ally of the US. And the answer to that of course is no. While damaging Russia is always a good outcome, there is nothing at all critical to US national security in this war. So give them some money and weapons, sure. But don’t invest any significant national reputation on this. Ukraine was part of the Soviet block for decades. To suggest it’s an important US ally now is ludicrous. So we come to similar conclusions even though our reasons differ.
