BAM!

WATCH: Pompeo Bluntly Tells Europe: ‘Name Me A Moment In History When The Weak And The Meek Have Prevailed’

By  Hank Berrien, DailyWire.com

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo threw down the gauntlet to other Western countries, asserting, “Over the past few years, I’ve seen, we’ve all seen, democratic leaders questioning America’s commitment to the transatlantic alliance and America’s leadership in the world.”

Pompeo cited some quotes from Western leaders, including Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland saying in June 2017,  “The fact that our friend and ally has come to question the very worth of its mantle of global leadership, puts into sharper focus the need for the rest of us to set our own clear and sovereign course.”

Story continues below advertisement

He noted the statement in February 2019 from M. Jean-Yves Le Drian, Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, and Mr Heiko Maas, German Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs, saying, “The multilateral order is experiencing its perhaps gravest crisis since the emergence – its emergence after the Second World War.”

Pompeo cited a third quote, this one from the day before his speech in which German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier stated, “Under its current administration, our closest ally, the United States of America, rejects the very concept of an international community. Every country, it believes, should look after itself and put its own interests before all others.”

Pompeo responded, “I’m here this morning to tell you the facts. Those statements simply do not affect in any significant way or reflect reality. I am happy to report that the death of the transatlantic alliance is grossly over-exaggerated. The West is winning. We are collectively winning. We’re doing it together.”

He continued:

Let’s start with a simple fact: Free nations are simply more successful than any other model that’s been tried in the history of civilization. Our governments respect basic human rights, they foster economic prosperity, and they keep us all secure. It’s why so many people risk a dangerous journey across the Mediterranean to reach Greece and Italy, but you don’t see the world’s vulnerable people risking their lives to skip illegally en masse to countries like Iran or to Cuba.

It’s why people clamor to study in Cambridge, and not Caracas. It’s why they compete to start businesses in Silicon Valley, but not in Saint Petersburg. It’s why countries in Asia went from abject poverty in the 1950s and ’60s to become world-leading economies today. You have all seen the map of the differences between South Korea, that light-studded map with North Korea in complete darkness.

Pompeo then addressed those calling themselves “realists” while denying reality:

The West is winning. Freedom and democracy are winning. And by that, I don’t mean just geographical nations. The West doesn’t define a space or a piece of real state. It’s any nation – any nation that adopts a model of respect for individual freedom, free enterprise, national sovereignty. They’re part of this idea of the West.

He continued:

I want to talk for a minute this morning about how sovereignty underpins our greatness collectively. Look, we patrol our borders to keep our people safe, so that they can continue to worship, to work, and to make our countries great without disruption. We honor the right of every nation to carry on their affairs as they choose, so long as they don’t try to interfere with our sovereignty or do harm to our friends.

Look, we urge other nations to protect human dignity, because we believe in unalienable rights. We support independent nations. Our signature – our signature military project together is a defensive alliance. We respect the rule of law and we honor intellectual property rights. We don’t interfere in other nations’ elections.

Pompeo then spoke of the enemies of freedom:

Let’s talk about territorial integrity, or rather, those nations that have contempt for it. Russia has seized Crimea and parts of Eastern Ukraine and Georgia. Iran’s missiles explode on Saudi oil facilities, and its proxy forces are present in Iraq, in Lebanon, in Syria, and in Yemen. China. China encroaches on the exclusive economic zones of Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

And on that point, China has had a border or maritime dispute with nearly every nation bordering it. And let’s talk for a second about the other realm, cybersecurity. Huawei and other Chinese state-backed tech companies are Trojan horses for Chinese intelligence. Russia’s disinformation campaigns try to turn our citizens against one another. Iranian cyberattacks plague Middle East computer networks.

Pompeo cited numerous instances in which the United States confronted nations bent on destroying the West, then asserted, “Are these actions, these American actions, are they consistent with the claim that America ‘has come to question the very worth of its mantle of global leadership?’”

Pompeo spoke of the numerous times America has supported Europe, continuing:

We’re winning – and we’re doing it together. Momentum is clearly on our side. We’ve got to do more. Don’t be fooled. Don’t be fooled by those who say otherwise.

When so-called Iranian moderates play the victim, remember their assassination and terror campaigns against innocent Iranian civilians and right here on European soil itself.

When Russia suggests that Nord Stream 2 is purely a commercial endeavor, don’t be fooled. Consider the deprivations caused in the winters of 2006 and 2008 and 2009 and 2015.

When Huawei executives show up at your door, they say you’ll lose out if you don’t buy in. Don’t believe the hype.

Then he spoke the simple truth: “Name me a moment in history when the weak and the meek have prevailed.”

Pompeo doesn’t understand the meaning of meek. Meek in Greek is a big strong horse that is useful to do work with and is safe to be around. The meek shall inherit the earth doesn’t mean weaklings will prevail. It’s important to understand the real meanings of words. Speaks of individual sovereignty while their trying to enforce red flag laws that are unconstitutional. His slight of hand and attempt at ego stroking has fallen on deaf ears.

How you connect sovereignty to red flag laws is bewildering. Red flag laws are totalitarian. American sovereignty is individual freedom. The former is beloved by the current Democrat Party. The latter is loved by We the People.

Trump is on record saying “take the guns and worry about due process later.” Red flag laws have begun under this administration and they’ve done nothing to stop it as they are behind it, or following their masters orders. Wouldn’t vote democrat if my life literally depended on it. Time has proven Republican party no better. Build the wall, around Washington DC. All the authority falls back to the states where it was originally intended. No more deep state control, ever.

Red flag laws go back to 1999 in Connecticut. This was during the Clinton Administration. Trump was wrong but his comment isn’t complete – police constantly arrest and confiscate weapons associated with crime or the immediate threat of crime. Red Flag laws are bad business because they assume a crime will be committed some unknown time in the future. Already cost a life in Maryland and there is a recent case of same name mistaken identity that led to illegal gun confiscation.

I wanna ask the white wash house, you have the audacity to proclaim only the strong survive, but meanwhile your policies weaken us.
American or should I say Saudi Arabian trojan horse Facebook & other social media censor us, you mean to eventually make us strong in the end, or what?
You armed the fresh out the womb Muhammadist tyranny under Buhari who locks up victims of Muhammadist terror-attacks in Nigeria.
You systematically arm Saudi Arabia who enslave Africans, declitorize girls & terrorize Non-muslims.
You armed Turkey.
You pitted Ayaan Hirsi Ali against us who proclaimed declitorization would be only mentioned in connection with a third generation Caliph in the hadiths while as can be read on Wikiislam.net unjust Muhammad demands declitorization in the hadiths himself.
You sabotage my efforts for a healthy diet, ecology, English (US) for global lnaguage & my efforts for a credible global government.
Meanwhile I get no support nor pay for my work.
Germany where the Munich security council takes place needs English (US).
The Mahatman dogma of national sovereignty is played out, wake up to a new better reality. The age of the internet.
Only the strong survive, heh?

When Christianity dies, so goes moral foundation and discernment of what is good. What replaces biblical morality and godly discernment is a “morality” that is based on feelings and an inverted sense of good and evil. That is why they invite evil into their country and think they are doing something good. They see the evil around them and yet can’t get themselves to admit what they are seeing is evil. They live in denial and think that is a proper destination.

I think calling the RCC a cult is a bit harsh. You can still leave the RCC unlike groups that are actual cults like the death cult that is a political ideology disguised as a religion because it has religious rituals to control its members, aka Islam. In Islam, to apostatize is potentially a death sentence depending on how devout the family and community are, i.e. if they are obedient to the Quran’s words which calls for death to apostates then depending on the denomination, they’ll have procedures to escalate to that death sentence.

As you note, the RCC has definitely been propagating heresies for a long time with their idol worship and making people like Mary into god who they can pray to and expect an omnipresent and omniscient Mary to hear all those prayers and then actually do something about. And the reason they pray to Mary is because a mere human is more loving and more compassionate than God who is the one who is perfect in love and compassion. How they can elevate a human to God’s level and then lower God below a human and not realize something is wrong is cult-like for their members… their ignorance and elevating dead people and the Pope to be like God leads them astray.

“a particular system of religious worship, especially with reference to its rites and ceremonies.”

“Sociology. a group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols.”

“a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with
members often living outside of conventional society under the
direction of a charismatic leader.”

From dictionary.com…

Under these definition… RCC can be considered a cult… so I’ll grant you that. But I think when you paint with such a broad brush, Protestantism could even fall into a category of a cult depending on where you stand.

As you state, the RCC has acted very badly in the past. That doesn’t make it a cult per se but it is a sign of the evil that is there. They elevate the pope and dead people to be god-like which is cult-like but if that is “orthodox” then it isn’t cult-like. The inability to question their leaders is another cult-like behavior for which there is no excuse but that is also how they end up going astray. And they put their man made traditions above what scripture clearly states but that isn’t cult-like, it is just wrong.

Please don’t get me wrong, I don’t pretend RCC’s are “brothers/sister” in Christ. They have a different Gospel message that then one stated in the Bible… part of it is the same but then they follow that up with other requirements such as to keep their salvation which are utterly wrong.

Regardless of whether you call them a cult or not, the root issue is that they are heretical in their teaching and practices. Until they denounce some of the things they do and change their thought on some of the things they think, they will be at odds with scripture. and that is because they believed their popes to be god-like and thus infallible in their interpretation of scripture… in other words, it is nearly impossible for them to fix the problems they’ve gotten themselves into.

I think he is deluded when championing democracy and freedom as something the west has. A bit of an oxymoron considering where he is speaking from. Speach police are rampant in germany and the UK. Our police prefer to go round to someones house, to accuse and arrest them on the pretence they have said something big brother has legislated on and at the same time imprison one of our own people for exposing muslim grooming gangs.. Sack and threaten polic chief whistle blowers for exposing the cover up in our law and enforcement system. We are no longer a democracy.

He is deluded as is are the rest of the leaders in the Western World. They refuse to identify the enemy…ISLAM. Just look at how Western Europe (Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, France, Germany, etc) are kissing the rear end of Islam while letting their own citizens suffer. Heck look at how the U.S. tolerates CAIR which is connected to the Muslim Brotherhood while refusing to name it as an terrorist organization.

I agree. When Western countries begin expelling Muslims en mass, particularly those who display commitment to Islam, don’t assimilate, and commit acts of violence, rape and gang-rape non-Muslim girls as young as 12, we will know that we are winning. Till then it’s a delusion. Most Western leaders are what Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn described in his 1978 Harvard Commencement Address, weak, passive and cowardly. Nothing could reflect this more than the ‘leaders’ or those who pass for leaders, in Canada, Sweden, Germany, France. The are pitiful to behold and the media is no better.

I hate like hell to admit it, but as an American of 58 years, currently living in the state of Maine, you’re not lying. they are taking over slowly, but gaining speed. they are now in our government, thanks to Democrat traitors, that usurped a law that disallowed a law that up until a few years back kept muslims out of office. We even have known training camps here in the U.S. and no one does a damn thing about it. People here are so worried about a civil war, or a war of some kind if someone tries to assassinate Trump, or steal the election. That’s not what has me concerned. I’m pretty damn sure that most of the mosques in this country have weapons stored in them, and when the numbers are right, we are going to be in for a really big problem, and there will be a coordinated attack. That will be the fight we will have to fight, and between that and all the other division we are dealing with, I’m really not holding my breath at this point.

There’s an Islamic concept that Mohammad started which they call the hidjra or migration jihad. They migrate to a friendly nation as “refugees”. Then they grow in strength and number because they are allowed to grow unmolested. Eventually when their numbers get big enough, then they take over subjugating the people who were gullible enough to take them in. Eventually, once they got even stronger then their “migration” was by the sword as they just went in and attacked nations that weren’t at war with them.

President Trump is not deluded. What nations has his travel ban targeted? Are we more dependent or less dependent on islamic OPEC oil today than we were in 2016? President Trump has also gone after both sunni and shiite islamic terrorist leaders. With that said, the United States and the rest of Western civilization have a long way to go when it comes to addressing the threat of islam. I’d ban construction of mosques and seek to shut down those that have already been built – especially if they were funded by foreign nations (e.g., saudi arabia, turkey, etc).

The “west” isn’t all run by dictators and though freedom of speech is greatly restricted, I don’t think the damage in these nations is irreversible. Although, the longer they continue on the path they are on, the harder it will be to regain the freedoms of a free world.

Having stated that, there is the concept of democracy where the people have a say in their governance but the USA doesn’t have a democracy as many people think. Ours is a republic which was put in place to minimize the tyranny of the mob and thus protect equality of the weak. Our Founding Fathers avoided creating a pure democracy because in their eyes mob rule will eventually win out and destroy the nation.

One thing that is key for the western nation is having a moral foundation that values equality and freedom… one that has a reverence for respecting the life of our neighbor as if it is our own. There is only one worldview that would conclude that all men are created equal and it isn’t Hinduism, Islamism, Buddhism or even atheism. It is no accident that the USA, who built its foundation on biblical principles made equality and the protection of unalienable rights from God a key part of our identity. When you get rid of God, then you also reject the premise of unalienable rights from God. If there are no such thing as unalienable rights from God then there is no justification for our Bill of Rights and in particular the mandate that those rights ought not be infringed upon because if it is only government giving those rights, then government can take them away.

The reason why the west is such a mess as you rightly point out is because the west has drifted away from God. They haven’t put in place a Maduro… yet… so these can be turned around if the people find their moral compass and turn back towards God.

Regarding the Constitution of the USA, John Adams stated:
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people (aka Christians). It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

And we see this bearing out as the Left, who rejects God, as well as the CINOs (Christians in name only) also reject the God of the Bible and make god in their own image, these are the very people who m

I base my life on the morals that my mother emparted on me. Don’t do unto others what you do not want done to yourself. I feel that from my perspective you do not need God to be able to know the difference between right and wrong good and evil. I will give an example. Adolf Hitlers actions were evil, he orchistrated the rape, torture and murder of many. In the UK there are laws in place banning naziism and rightfully so. Then we have a group of people who follow an ideology, not disimilar to the nazi ideology, where they consider the most perfect human to have ever walked the earth was a man who was, like Adolf Hitler, a mass murdering, slave trading, rapist, paedophile war lord. This man started this ideology. Equally as repugnant as naziism. Yet our government welcomes this ideology in to the UK to destroy our way of life. Makes laws to protect it so it can continue to grow unabated. I do not need the bible or any God to tell me the difference between good moral standing and evil. I see it, many people on this and similar forums see it, so why can’t the people who run the UK see it? I am by the way not decrying Christianity or God.

There is a difference between being taught right versus wrong and having a basis for it. In the example that you gave regarding Hitler, they obviously thought it was the right thing to do. Likewise when a Muslim follows the Islamic scriptures to strike terror in the hearts of the unbelievers by slicing them at their neck, they believe they are doing a moral good. Your mother, on the other hand taught you a Christian principle which we call the golden rule. The problem is if God doesn’t exist then there is no basis to call something good or evil… all views are merely opinions with no intrinsic worth.

Many of us who grew up in the west respond to many things in a common way and recognize those things as evil. But if God doesn’t exist, the question is who decides what is evil? Why are those things evil? The reason why Nazism is considered evil is because nations with Judeo-Christian values won the war. If we are merely the product of time plus matter plus chance then life is meaningless and there is no justification for calling anything good and evil because good and evil will depend on who is better at rationalizing one’s actions and who is more powerful to force that view onto the weaker.

For a moral code to exist there must be a moral law giver. And that moral law giver must transcends creation. If there is only man then any only society decides morality but that can change at the whim of man. That means that is no moral code.

The “proposal” is simple in a way but hard. The elevator version is take back our schools and get the church to start obeying God’s Word. And start by equipping our kids to see through the Leftist lies being engaged in their curriculum.

It seems to me that we got here because the Left fought a long war and was strategic in what they did. During that time, the right allowed the Left to do what they were doing without interference. In fact, the Right essentially enabled the Left because every time the Left would come in and do what they do, the Right would retreat to their safe space. But those safe spaces keep shrinking.

It is said that the one that controls culture will control the people. The Left got to the point where our schools are saturated with Leftists. For whatever reason, teaching had become a profession that few on the Right have chosen to do. In addition, the curriculum or books used in our k-12 grades is controlled or influenced by an alliance of Leftists, Muslims and the LGBT community. Our schools have become nothing more than indoctrination centers. If we’re going to start somewhere, getting our schools back is a necessary long term objective that the Right needs to take seriously. There’s a reason why the majority of young people come out of school with a negative view of capitalism and a favorable view of Marxism. In the short term, we need to interact with the lessons our kids are receiving and show them where the truth ends and indoctrination begins.

One of the most important things is also for the church to re-evaluate what they are doing. I’ve visited many churches because of the work I do. But a lot of them look essentially the same. And a lot of them are shrinking. Our churches focus on “programs” as an effort to be more appealing. They try to woo people by having a good worship band. Some go so far to be appealing that their time of singing praise songs looks more like a rock concert than anything else. These churches put tons of resources week after week to bolster up their youth program as they separate the kids from the adults and give the message that our kids can’t handle interacting with adults and so they must be put in peer groups. I don’t recall reading anything in the book of Acts about youth programs. But we do this in an effort to be more appealing and so what we’ve done by all this is we’ve made church a place where we are making consumer Christians—Christians who are only focused on “what can my church do for me”. Our kids are leaving their family’s “faith” because it is nothing more than a superficial social activity they do week after week.

The church is contributing to consumer Christianity but that’s not solely the pastor’s fault. It is also the people’s fault. They hear God’s Word week after week but there is no transformation in the majority of those lives. Jesus says those who love him obey His commands. How many even know Jesus’s commands. And of those that do, how many make those words conform to their will instead of being motivated for God’s will? The bottom line is those who call themselves Christians need to decide if they are going to continue being nothing more than consumer Christians, consuming resource consuming church programs and having no concern for obeying God’s Word or getting serious about obeying God’s Word by taking God’s Word seriously enough to study it and then obeying it.

Part of taking God’s Word seriously is seeking to know what it says. There was a very unfortunate cult that was built which I think it actually has more in common with many churches than it should. This cult, formerly called “Children of God” which is now called “the Family” was built on the premise that Jesus taught that we are to love our neighbor. Jesus did teach us to love our neighbor but all things from Satan get twisted by his lies. The cult followers, ignorant of God’s Word then allowed themselves to believe the cult’s founder when he convinced them that the ultimate expression of love is sexual expression or engaging in sex. In other words, loving your neighbor to them meant having sex with your neighbor. And you’d be right if you guessed that loving your children also involved sex. And that is eventually how this cult became banned in the US. What this cult has in common with the rest of the church is willful ignorance of God’s Word. We ignore what scripture is actually saying and believe it to mean what we want it to mean. For example, for most Christians, instead of believing “love your neighbor” is referring to having sex with your neighbor they equally wrongfully believe it merely means being nice to your neighbor… saying “hi” to them and maybe even chatting with them on occasion. But loving one’s neighbor, though it may look partially like being nice or involve being nice is more than just being nice.

Many Christians are so unserious about their faith, they can’t even explain the fundamentals of their faith and avoid anyone that would ask them to give a reason for their faith… they can’t defend their faith so they avoid any serious discussion. I have heard so many stories of people apostatizing because those who should be mentors couldn’t answer the questions beyond “you must have faith” or “because the Bible says so”.

On a related topic is to notice “religious freedom” does not means that a religion has carte blanche to do anything they want. In the case if the Children of God, they were banned because they engaged in pedophilia. There is a political ideology that uses religious rituals to control its members that condones polygamy, child marriages, spousal abuse in addition to their subversive mandate… all illegal. But that “religion” is allowed to practice unfettered because of PC. Religious freedom has always been restricted to mean that a religion is free to practice as long as it does not violate our laws. But religious freedom today seems to be following the Christian faith is evil but following anything else is good but one religion in particular that has an expressed hate towards Jews and Christians is highly esteemed.

So, we need to take back our schools and in particular what our kids are being taught and get our churches back on track to her calling and obeying the prime directive.

Well said, not least about Western rejection of God and his laws, but there is also the rejection of Judeo-Christian values. In Canada, in its place has come embracing and indoctrination of political correctness, virtue signalling, tolerance and acceptance – of just about everything – and relativism. On the other side is rejection of moral absolutes. The consequences of this is a mess with incessant lies and pretences. Write a letter to a Canadian newspaper and unless it reflects the ‘accepted’ point of view it will not get published.

Unfortunately I agree with you, Clem. Muslims commit violent crimes all over the West, Europe, the U.K., Canada, Australia, America, they rape and gang-rape girls as young as 12 in the U.K. and instead of taking action against Muslims in a meaningful way, wondrous Western leaders, media either keep quiet about this or police harass those who speak out truthfully about Islam.

Thank you for that Rob. The question I keep asking, that no one person has to date given me an answer to is “WHY” Why do you allow an ideology in to a peacefull country that promotes hate and violence. The people who run our countries are supposed to be more intelligent and should be able to answer my question WHY.

Because they’re traitors, liars and hypocrites, every last one.
They’re bought and paid for, paid to betray US.
And also, they think if they give moslems free rein to rape, torture and murder us, they won’t turn round and do it to them.

So they have all been paid off. Boris Johnson is the new pupett so who are the pupett masters?
Some say the jews are behind all of it including the twin towers bombings and from the many books I have read on it, there is a possibility that’s true. Any further ideas?

Tyrant Democrats and tyrant socialists need Islamist shock troops, to help them grab power. They also need people who are used to tyrant culture, who will accept subjugation, and vote for the tyrants.

Many of those European nations are dying, having allowed unrestricted immigration by jihadis.

& I wanna say something else to democracy-inciting Pompeo.
Democracy another concept that is played out.
Say what you want, don’t just say “Democracy” or capitalism like that would be the solution while protecting the freedom of religion of Africans enslaving, forcibly declitorizing & Non-muslims killing Saudi Arabia, systematically arming that Muhammadist tyranny & others.
Say what you want.

Pompeo misleads and exhorts Europeans believing there is a threat from Russia knowing the only existential threat to Europe is is the Islamic invasion which is well its way to destroying Europe spiritually,economically and culturally..

Name Me A Moment In History When The Weak And The Meek Have Prevailed?

Jesus the Christ Child, Jesus was born unto this World, not to save the just but to save the sinner.

Relatively difficult to call Christ “weak”, as he could have called down legions of angels, at any time.
Matthew 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
That could hardly be defined as “weak”.

Very True, it was not meant in that context at all. We await the legions of the Lamb of God. It was meant as my Pop, God rest his sole, gave me a O’l Norwegian proverb; Walk softly and carry a big stick. No it was not Theodore Roosevelt that coined the fraze, although as history may imply as they so often pin to their chests, case in point; obama will not return the Nobel Prize he wrongfully was given.
It’s not bad spelling I’d give that name/man NO respect.

ANTI-RUSSIA PROPAGANDA ASIDE, SEC POMPEO HAS A POINT! ONLY CHRISTIANS IN THEIR RELIGIOUS THEOLOGY HAVE AN EXAMPLE WHERE PHYSICAL LOSS AND BEING MEEK AND WEAK REALLY WON IN THE END IN STRICTLY RELIGIOUS THEORY! THAT WAS JESUS CHRIST!
POLITICAL REALITY IS VERY DIFFERENT! REMEMBER NEVIL CHAMBERLAIN AND JIMMY CARTER? WWII AND IRAN PROVE HIS POINT!
AS FOR RUSSIA, WE RIGHTISTS IN THE USA SHOULD REALLY RECOGNIZE THAT WE OWE PRES. PUTIN FOR NOT GIVING THE OBAMA HIS AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TREATMENT AND THAT RIGHTIST RUSSIA HAS A DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING AT THINGS AND ALWAYS HAS FROM THE TIMES OF THE CZARS! THEY TOOK BACK THEIR CRIMEA THAT WAS TAKEN AND GIVEN TO UKRAINE BY ONE TIME UKRAINIAN STALINIST GOON, KRUSHCHEV AND GEORGIA ASKED FOR IT WHEN RUSSIA REMINDED ITS LEADER AT THE TIME WHO THE BIG SLAVIC COUNTRY WAS HE WAS MESSING WITH! THE EASTERN RIM OF UKRAINE WAS FALSELY GIVEN TO UKRAINE BY LENIN IN THE 1920’s AND WAS PART OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE BEFORE THAT! DON’T THINK ISRAELIS HAVE DONE ALL THAT GOOD SURRENDERING TERRITORY THAT WAS ONCE HISTORICALLY THEIR’S TO JIHADIS AND THERE IS A COMPARABLE SITUATION FROM THE RUSSIAN PERSPECTIVE!
ADMITTEDLY, THE NEW LEADER OF UKRAINE IS BETTER THAN THE LAST ONE WHO WAS DESCENDED FROM A POLITICAL SYSTEM CREATED BY THE OVERTHROW OF A PRO-RUSSIA GOVERNMENT THAT COULD BE ACCUSED OF CORRUPTION OF $200 MILLION A YEAR BUT THE BRIBE’M/BIDEN CREW RIPPED THEM OFF $ 7-16 BILLION DOLLARS WHEN THE MOST THE PRO-RUSSIANS WOULD HAVE DONE WAS AROUND $3 BILLION IN THE SAME PERIOD! WOW! WELL THE CORRUPTION WAS CERTAINLY PROGRESSIVE WASN’T IT?
