Nikki Grace observes:

The Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church stated that Russia is in a holy war with the godless west. This is what our government has gotten us into by poking the bear. The Russian people are united against the west. These are no desert warriors in sandals. And we didn't beat them either, we just made generational enemies. I pray that the new Congress can stop the money to this proxy war. Zelenskyy is apparently appearing on the Golden Globes, perhaps they are going to fete him for his high heel dancing in gay videos. That should inspire those Russian in their holy war.

Tim adds:

He also said the sins of fallen soldiers are forgiven if they die in the Holy War.

Now, the Patriarch is under the thumb of the civil authorities in Russia in ways we in the West do not understand. And while Ukraine was Orthodox, they split with the Russians recently because of this pro-Russian warmongering. And Putin has less than spiritual aims.

But there is a point here. If the Russian People really believe this they will fight to the bitter end. Maybe. If.

One thing is clear; Russia is not just going to roll over for Joe Biden. And at some point Putin will feel cornered and when he lashes out it will be terrible.

This war was so unnecessary. But it was an example of American politicians meddling with forces they didn't understand and taking advantage in a place where things could get really dangerous really quickly.

Oh, and the Patriarch is right in resisting Western decadence and the vile ideas coming from Babylon on the Potomac.
