    Grateful to 143 states that supported historic #UNGA resolution "Territorial integrity of Ukraine: defending the principles of the UN Charter". The world had its say - RF’s attempt at annexation is worthless & will never be recognized by free nations. will return all its lands

    Jeez… Talk about isolation. Four countries voted with Russia: Belarus, North Korea, Syria and Nicaragua. Whole bunch of winners right there…

    No real surprises on there except for Brazil and Mexico not being there.

    Brazil is the only BRICS to have not abstained (well, except for Russia which was Against).

    And AMLO is pretty old school Left Wing so pro-Russia and has tried to keep Mexico neutral so far.

    Yesterday Russian State TV aired a pep talk being given to new conscripts explaining why they have to fight.

    The usual stuff: NATO expansion, supposed attacks on civilians in the Donbas, Nazis…

    :lol:

    J/K! That is so last Spring. Now it’s a “Holy War” against “Satanists” who want to force you to go to a “Gay Parade.”

    And no, I am not exaggerating:

    Putin’s been snuggling up to the Russian Orthodox Church since he took office.

    Did we have a thread on Putin's creepy "war church", or was that only a John Oliver thing?

    The Soviets actually used the Russian Orthodox Church after the KGB compromised the Hierarch and many of his highest ranking officials for homosexual behavior in the 80s before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

    The Russian Orthodox Church has been a Russian Intelligence Asset since. Source: Oleg Kalugin, a former KGB general, defector, and the man who once ran all the operations in the United States for Moscow, and Putin's former boss.

    This is an interesting bit by Chris Murphy, D-CT.

    Saudi Arabia has rejected diplomacy from Biden and has joined with Russia to cut production of oil right before the midterms. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what the intent of that is.

    Murphy says we should immediately do 2 things - redirect the AMRAAM missiles being sent to Saudi Arabia to Ukraine to help their air defense.

    And move the Patriot Anti-Missile Batteries from Saudi Arabia to Ukraine to help protect civilian lives in Ukraine.
