As the USA trip ended, I finally had a couple different people ask me questions about Ukraine and the war with Russia. This was interesting because in all 29 days or so of my travel, this only happened once in this way, where the individuals asking actually believed that the Russians’ actions were the problem. Other people I talked to in my travels asked me about life in Russia, but already seemed to understand that Ukrainian leadership was pulling a con job on the Biden / Globalist / Secularist governments around the world.
This itself is of note, especially considering the lengths to which the American and Western mainstream press (including Fox “Faux” News) had been going to promote Ukraine as the angelic nation, perhaps the only nation worthy of its borders on earth. Certainly the US is not entitled to its borders, nor is Russia, nor China, but Ukraine – oh, yes. We have to do everything possible to protect this bastion of ‘democracy’…
Except for the inconvenient truths that Ukraine imprisoned its fighting age men, and it imprisoned mercenaries from the US and Great Britain who came as soldiers of fortune, then sent out to the fields with no weapons or minimal ammo – like ten rounds per soldier.
There are many interesting things in this discussion besides Ukraine, and we hope you enjoy the presentation.

I liked this commentator in earlier videos but in this one I just could not stand to go past 10 minutes. He was way off in his analysis in least three things. 1.

Recently the Europeans placed a ban on the Eastern Orthodox Archbishop from travelling. Now THAT’S geopolitical and a bloody disgrace. 2. He raised the issue of abortion as merely a difference of opinion… Read more »
Thank you for your comments! You seem not to have understood my point, because your own comments actually agree with the things I said: 1. The Russian Orthodox Church IS a geopolitical force. Rome is as well, but Rome is severely compromised by its efforts to be “relevant” to the world. The Orthodox Church is far more dangerous to the secular liberal, because the Church’s point of view is that the world needs to be made relevant to the Church. While this appears simplistic, look at the history and you will see it. It isn’t perfect, but the Orthodox have… Read more »
Thank you for your clarification. The mere fact that you replied to my criticisms mean you are a decent human being, and worth a reassessment on my part.
I do not know about being a decent human being, but, you know, this is an imperfect bit of work, and I am trying to learn more all the time. That is the name of the game for me. All the best!!
