A truce proposed by President Vladimir Putin of Russia, under the suggestion of Patriarch Kirill I of the Russian Orthodox Church, is set to be put in place for Russian armed forces starting 12:00 local time and lasting until midnight January 8th. This 36-hour period is intended to facilitate Orthodox Christians attendance of Church services for the Nativity of Christ (Christmas) that are to take place January 6 and 7.
Ukraine’s government is reported to be rejecting this ceasefire offer. This is pretty interesting since the UN and Germany are both taking note of the ceasefire offer as a hopeful chance to stop the war itself, though of course, their viewpoint is that President Putin is the instigator. It is significant that Ukraine’s answer is a very strong “we will not honor this.”
It makes one wonder how important Orthodox Christianity really is in Ukraine. It also illustrates the priorities of the two nations from their respective highest levels of government. One is trying to align with the will of God. Peace on earth, good will toward men, while the other wishes to kill anyone who is not “truly Ukrainian”, especially those “subhumans” in Russia, as President Volodymyr Zelensky referred to them in a recent presser with Joe “the Imposter” Biden.
The Western press is being cynical about this situation, which is tragic because for us in Russia and for those Orthodox Christian faithful who are in Ukraine, being in Church for the great feast of Christmas is important. The fact that godless, cynical people act like they are the ones with moral and intellectual superiority over simple faithful Christians is quite a sign – not so long ago in the United States, news media would have reported this ceasefire as a great blessing and grace, as well as a hope for peace.

Premise #1: Col.Douglas MacGregor has truthfully assessed the war in Ukraine; Premise #2: Seraphim Hanish truthfully assessed the abortion tainted jab – a no starter for any Christian; As for the truce, did Patriarch Kirill & Putin forget that the West celebrated Christmas on Dec. 25th? Did Russian forces launch missiles during the Western celebration of Christmas? Faith in Christ, the Incarnation and Redemption of humankind, should bring unity and understanding. The Rus truce proposal would have been well placed IF it ran from Dec 24 to the end of Orthodox Christmas celebrations. Then, the neo-Nazi, neo-Jacobin intransigence and madness… Read more »
Gee I only see satan in the west lol, Lies, Cheating, money worship, Greed, Killing, Abuse of children, Theives, Murderers, Traitors, feel free to add more !
Your eyesight may not be totally clear if you see Satan (his satellites and the dark acts of his world) only in the West. Solzhenitsyn said the West was morally bankrupt a very long time ago, and Sorokin before him. The main point my friend is to see CHRIST wherever He may be. Any nation state that claims it has the moral high ground, should have laws that do not go against God’s Laws (as Patriarch Kirill said some time ago, “you cannot legislate sin”). Do you know any of the super powers East or West who outlaw child murder… Read more »
Dear Jim and Maz, This is not to play devil’s advocate, but the reason Russia has not outlawed abortion is that outlawing it would not stop it from happening. During the Soviet era, which lasted for 70 years, and the recovery time since the fall of the Soviet Union, where the West, particularly Western Europe, which is wildly secularist, the notion of “abortion as birth control” was deeply impressed on Russian society. While the nation has not outlawed abortion, the Church is working hard (no doubt with state support) to show young women, 18 and under, that life is sacred… Read more »
Dear Seraphim, Thank you for your response, and I want to again compliment how you were spot on reagrding the abortion tainted Molok jabs, when Hilarion (like some Catholic hierarchy and Protestant ministers) jumped on the jab bandwagon. Well done! Please allow me to take issue with your argument on abortion in Russia. It seems to follow the argument made in America and the West only in reverse gear. The focus should always be on the NEW LIFE given by GOD. Premise: Abortion has existed since antiquity. Hyppocrates condemned it setting the ethical code for physicians. The early Christians opposed… Read more »
I agree with you. But this comment: “1) I would think Russian women are not frivolous like Westerners who would do something evil simply because there is a law prohibiting it. It seems adolescent. Do women steal because it is prohibited? Why not let stealing become legal until all of humanity realizes it is wrong?” Well, I live in Russia and I dated many ladies here before I finally met my wife. What I discovered is that no one makes up her mind more strongly than a Russian woman who is without God. The women who do abortions are not… Read more »
Okay, to continue my thoughts (not really a rebuttal, but a conversation!) – you wrote this: “Abortion needs to be dealt with for what it is, and thus outlawed as a criminal act that takes innocent life. It may be difficult at first, but so was the transition from a pagan society to a Christian one. If we are to save Christian society in the East and West, the point of departure is to give imago Dei dignity back to the babes in the womb and to the women entrusted by God to care for them. Men could learn to… Read more »

-Best regards,
Your friendly neighborhood religious psychopath.
I hope Putin, bombs the “F&^K” out of the Vatican where satan resides !
