Anyone notice how quiet the thread has got now that the Ukraine tall tales have been debunked and they are getting hammered?


Even notice all the news media now just goes to how Putin is a madman whose battling Parkinson’s or ish instead of talking about the Russian gains.


Is that why Russia tryna recruit middle eastern military personnel to help?

They should've just let Putin in and as soon as he got his shyt established over there, started a coup. Less senseless violence, less worry for the world. From what I've read only a small percentage of them wanted a war, and that shows by how unprepared their soldiers look.

I ain't ever been in the military tho so take that with a kosher grain of salt. I'm just getting tired of wondering if we bouta get instigated into this shyt or not. If I was an American solider sent that way I'd be tryna kill everyone that ain't American Kuz they ass the reason for me being there in the first place

Russian Orthodox church in Amsterdam announces split with Moscow


Russian Orthodox church in Amsterdam announces split with Moscow
Clergy takes ‘difficult decision’ to cut ties with the Moscow patriarchate over the invasion of Ukraine

A Russian Orthodox church in Amsterdam has announced it is to split with the Moscow patriarchate in the first known instance of a western-based church cutting ties over the invasion of Ukraine.

“The clergy unanimously announced that it is no longer possible for them to function within the Moscow patriarchate and provide a spiritually safe environment for our faithful,” the clergy said in a statement posted on its website.

“This decision is extremely painful and difficult for all concerned.”

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, a trusted ally of President Vladimir Putin, has declined to condemn Kremlin’s decision to invade its neighbour, referring to Russia’s opponents in Ukraine as “evil forces.” In a Sunday sermon last week he also said gay pride parades organised in the West were part of the reason for the war in Ukraine.

The statement said the Russian Orthodox parish of Saint Nicholas of Myra had asked the Russian archbishop of the diocese of the Netherlands who is based in The Hague to grant the church “canonical dismissal.”

The clergy of the parish said they had requested to join the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, the Istanbul-based Orthodox branch, seen as a rival to the Russian Orthodox Church.

Kirill’s position on the war has led to unease among some Russian Orthodox priests who object to the invasion of a country often referred to as a “brotherly nation” in religious circles.

More than 280 Russian Orthodox priests and church officials from around the world have signed an open letter expressing their opposition to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It warned that “eternal torment” awaits those who give “murderous orders.”

The Russian Orthodox Church in Amsterdam, which consists of four priests and a deacon – one of the biggest Russian Orthodox congregations in Holland – has been critical of Russia’s role in the war since the start of the invasion on 24 February.

It said last week it would no longer mention the name of Patriarch Kirill in their liturgy because of his backing for the invasion of Ukraine. “We as the clergy of St. Nicholas parish in Amsterdam have expressed our shock at the invasion of Ukraine by the armed forces of the Russian Federation … We distance ourselves from Patriarch Kirill’s narrative,” it wrote on its Facebook page.

The statement went against the official policy of the Russian Orthodox Church not to use the word “war” and “invasion” to describe Russia’s actions in Ukraine.

The Russian priests in Amsterdam told the Dutch outlet ND that Archbishop Elisey of the Netherlands visited their church after, warning that “Moscow was watching their actions closely.”

The Amsterdam church held a closed session on Sunday in which the head of the parish reiterated the decision to break with Moscow. “We asked our former Patriarch Kirill to stop the war. Unfortunately, this did not happen,” he said in a video address posted on the church’s YouTube page.

A Russian member of the church’s choir who was standing outside the told the Guardian she supported the decision to separate from Moscow. “Once the war started, there was only one way out of this,” she said, asking not to give her name.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has also been criticised by other Christian religious leaders, including the head of Patriarchate of Constantinople, Bartholomew I of Constantinople and Pope Francis, who on Sunday issued his toughest condemnation yet of the invasion of Ukraine, saying the “unacceptable armed aggression” must stop.

Bartholomew, considered to be the spiritual leader of the world’s Eastern Orthodox Christians, earlier said that Putin had committed “a great injustice” by going to war against his “coreligionists,” and “has earned the hatred of the whole world.”

In 2018, The Russian Orthodox Church cut ties with the Patriarchate of Constantinople, seen as the spiritual authority of the world’s Orthodox Christians, after Bartholomew granted independence to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which was previously under Moscow’s control.

“In the name of God, I ask you: stop this massacre,” the pope said addressing during his Sunday service in the Vatican.
