It seems to me that if the neighbor of Ukraine is the Great Persian Empire with its capital in Moscow, then Ukraine is unlikely to be well ...
Meanwhile, some representatives of the Church are already expressing the opinion that Orthodoxy is closer to Islam than to Catholicism. One of my (former) friends also expressed his position that the adoption of Islam as the official religion of Russia would be a great decision, as it would contribute to the preservation and protection of traditional values in the country.
With all due respect to Islam (as well as to other world religions), I want to note that Orthodoxy is the key identifier of Russia, one of the few basic identifiers. I do not believe that the vast territory of Russia will suddenly turn into a deserted desert. In my opinion, Russia will survive. Another thing is what meanings and values the citizens of this country will profess. So far I do not see any positive - every day it gets worse.
But I don’t predict a terrible end either, rather there will be horror without end ....
As a citizen of Ukraine, I will say: I do not care who will be a neighbor in the east. What color will their skin be, what faith they will have, what traditions they will have, and what norms. The main thing is that they should be people who value human life, and do not consider people only consumables to satisfy the ambitions of a notorious half-intelligent miserable parrody of the Fuhrer of the 3rd Reich! So that they strive for development, respect someone else's integrity and the right to choose - and not the suppression of any will, any rights, any freedoms and the right to express one's word. So that their goal is development and progress, not destruction and degradation.
And without imperial ambitions, just because they have a huge territory .. Moreover, it is populated by a degraded and degraded population, which, instead of improving something in their country, are ready to go for a penny to kill the citizens of a neighboring country, just because they wanted to live well in a neighboring country
And now about "Orthodoxy" in Russia. A small digression into history ... 30s of the last century. After 1917, the Orthodox Church was persecuted by the Soviet authorities. Most of the ministers of the church were destroyed or immigrated from Russia. But the degree of discontent of the population began to rise, which historically got used to the church and not to the Komsomol or the Central Committee of the CPSU
What did the Kremlin regime do? They gathered all the heads of parishes (a kind of nodes of a distributed church network, in relation to the forum
) and suggested that you stay alive, and even save the Orthodox Church, but now you do not serve the faith, but obey the direct Ministry of State Security of the USSR. No, this is not a fairy tale, this is a very real fact, and there are historical documents in open sources, you can read it!
And since then, the Russian Orthodox Church, in the form of the Moscow Patriarchate, has become a department of the MGB / KGB of the USSR. And their goal was very precise - control of the population, manipulation of the minds of parishioners, gratification of the Kremlin's narratives and ideas.
If you now watch the performance of their priests, then you will have a feeling that this is not a church, but a sect of Satanists! Calls for violence, murder, war ... Total and widespread violation of the Commandments, propaganda for war, misanthropy, support for separatism, questionable business for the church (alcohol tobacco), total support for the ruling gang, pedophilia and homosexuality - this is all the modern ROC MP! No, I didn’t want to offend anyone, to take revenge for something - I just listed the FACTS!
