Russia’s War on Ukraine

Servant of the People

Volodymyr Oleksandrivych Zelenskyy, the sixth President of Ukraine since 20 May 2019, was born in Kryvyi Rih, a major city of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast in central Ukraine. Born to a Ukrainian Jewish family, he grew up as a native Russian speaker. Zelenskyy, in 2006, won the Ukrainian version of “Dancing with the Stars”. He created and starred in the successful 2015 Ukrainian television series “Servant of the People” that ran for three seasons (51 episodes). Netflix has just reintroduced the series with English captioning. If you wish to form an educated opinion of Ukraine’s people and politics, watching this series is essential. I watched it before Zelenskyy was elected and found it hilarious and extremely descriptive of the politics of Ukraine. If you do not make the effort to watch “Servant of the People” you cannot reach a fully-formed opinion on the Ukraine-Russia War. It is true that art imitates life, as proven by the 73% of the popular vote he received from the Ukrainian people over opponent Petro Poroshenko; and Zelenskyy’s ”Servant of the People” party’s 254 seats in the 450 seat Verkhovna Rada (parliament) in 2019. It is ludicrous to purport that a Jewish born leader of Ukraine would be a supporter of Nazis and/or white supremacists, as reported erroneously and repeatedly by political activists, politicians and even journalists.

Former President Yanukovych’s November 2013 Act of Treason

Yanukovych made a sudden decision, amidst economic pressure from Russia, to withdraw from signing an association agreement with the European Union and instead accepted a Russian trade deal and loan bailout, causing widespread mass protests and resulting in the 22 February 2014 ousting of Yanukovych by Ukraine’s Parliament. The Russians subsequently annexed Crimea by military force (through coercion of its local leaders) on 18 March, 2014. Because only six people were killed in the forced annexation, Putin obviously thought that Zelenskyy would similarly “cut and run” when he invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022.

Ukrainian Language

While Ukrainian and Russian are distinct linguistically, there is an important asymmetry to be aware of; even though most Russians do not know or understand Ukrainian because it is a different language, most Ukrainians know and understand Russian. This is because the Russian-speaking Soviet Union occupied Ukraine for almost 70 years. During the 70 years of occupation, Russian was the only official language of Ukraine. Government, schools, and businesses were all required to use only Russian. Most families continued to use Ukrainian at home. There are some grammatical features (such as a unique future tense) that Ukrainian has that Russian does not. I find it interesting that the Ukrainian language facilitates the future but the Russian language does not.

United States Support for Ukraine was a “No-Brainer”

The United States Military has begun applying new tactics, techniques, and procedures to “all-domain combat” and are integrating new technologies and equipment into the fight. Much of the US’s aging warfighting infrastructure was effective enough to employ in Ukraine by Ukrainians against Russian tyranny, while simultaneously directly funding new U.S. weapons and systems for implementation into a modernized capability to meet the special operations challenges of today and into the future. But Ukrainian air superiority is eminent in coming months and Senator Vance is warning European leaders that they must soon assume full economic and technological responsibility for Ukraine’s 100% recovery of its territory from Russia. U.S. funded “Warfare Welfare” to Ukraine is unsustainable because of our $34 Trillion national debt. The European Union must focus on the defeat of Russia; they are correct in assuming that Putin will not abandon his evil actions but they must comprehend the likelihood of his defeat in 2024; he is rapidly depleting stockpiles of armaments that are held together with duct tape and chicken wire. Negotiations with and subsequent capitulation to Russia’s aggression must be off the table to insure European peace in the long term.

Impeachable Offenses

The military equipment that was thoughtlessly abandoned in Afghanistan would have been invaluable to Ukraine. That egregious dereliction of duty by our Commander-In-Chief and down the chain of command is a mirror reflection of the damage done to our armed forces by subversive and divisive Marxist-inspired Critical Race Theory, Critical Gender Theory, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (really Division, Elitism, and Indoctrination), Alphabet Mafia inspired government-funded sex-altering surgeries and other virtue-less and mission-threatening forces of evil.

Marxist-influenced destruction of our Judeo-Christian virtues is occurring within our military to facilitate replacement of 2,000-year-old virtues with dark sectarian “values” such as the right to kill a healthy baby in the womb, the right to enter our country without permission, the right to distribute China-supplied and Mexican Cartell-cooked Fentanyl, the right to traffic minors and women in sex-slavery, the right to smuggle arms to Mexican cartels and the right to taxpayer-funded repayment of education loans.

UNRWA’s War on Israel

United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East, UNRWA

This so-called “Relief Agency” has funded, over decades, the vast network of underground tunnels used by multiple terrorist groups, including Hamas (Harakat al-Mugawama al-Islamiya or Islamic Resistance Movement), Palestine Islamic Jihad, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command (PFLP-GC), Harakat al-Sabireen, Palestine Liberation Front (PLF).

Terrorist organizations compete for the right to destroy Israel by whatever methods possible. Elements within “relief agencies” facilitate a corruption-riddled “welfare/warfare” state that rewards the families of jihadists with perpetual payments while they are imprisoned or self-destroyed by suicide vests. A dozen UNWRA employees participated in the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. Teachers have taught from children’s textbooks calling for the killing as many Jews as possible during one’s lifetime.

Despite the devastation of Gaza, 57% in Gaza and 82% in the West Bank believe Hamas was correct in launching the October 7 attack. Only 10% believe that Hamas had committed war crimes. 44% in the West Bank and 42% in Gaza said they currently support Hamas.

88 journalists have been killed in the crossfire in Gaza; 83 Palestinian, 2 Israeli, and 3 Lebanese.

Summary

Europe must fully support Ukraine’s struggle for national survival in the face of attack from the evil remnants of totalitarian Soviet Communism. Israel must destroy evil terrorism that threatens its survival with as little collateral damage as possible while 100% fulfilling the mission. As proven in the entrance halls of Lakewood Church, evil must be dealt with as efficiently as possible to result in optimum community cohesion. Lastly, but most importantly, each one of us can strive to treat others as we wish to be treated.
