Jonah Goldberg of The
Dispatch, in his article, “Is
It Okay To Use the ‘G-Word’?” linked
to a horrific article written by a Russian propagandist and published in a Russian state-owned “news
agency RIA Novosti (Russian: РИА Новости).” The article, “What
should Russia do with Ukraine?” is posted in English at Medium.Com
and introduced by Maria Kravchenko. Some of Kravchenko’s explanations are:
The
author, a Russian political technologist, also has the audacity to talk about
the Soviet occupation of Ukraine. He is trying to support Putin’s narrative
about Ukraine as an artificial country. Instead, the world should remember that
the Soviet Union terrorized Ukraine for almost a century with forced collectivization,
Great Purge, Terror-Famine (Holodomor), forced deportation, etc.
⠀
In this article, the author is describing ways how Russians want to wipe out
Ukraine in the same way the Soviet regime did it.”
All
of the article is a lie and is a design for murdering, imprisoning and destroying
Ukraine and its people. Kravchenko pleads:
It’s
important to spread this article. The Russian war should be stopped now. It was
supposed to be stopped 8 years ago when it only began. 71% of Russians feel
proud about this war. 75.5% of Russians approve of the idea of a military
invasion of the next country and believe that it should be Poland. According to
respondents, this is a logical continuation of the so-called “military special
operation of the Russian Federation”.
⠀
The world should be aware of Russian methods, crimes, and plans. Putin will not
stop until he is stopped.
Also
Timothy Snyder, a historian and professor at Yale and author of many books on authoritarian
nations including, Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin has referred
to the article on Twitter writing, “An article in the official state Russian
news agency RIA Novosti advocates the elimination of the Ukrainian people as
such. The text is so despicable that I’m not going to link to it. Will write
about it later.”
Hopefully
he will write about it soon.
The
article claiming most of Ukraine is Nazified attempts to purify Putin’s actions
but in reality reveals an ideology that shows that the leadership of Russia is truly
copying Nazi Germany. Some of the statements remind the reader of Hitler’s
final solution of the Jewish people only now it is about the Ukrainian people.
For
instance, “Apparently, the name “Ukraine” cannot be kept as a title of any
fully denazified state entity on the territory liberated from the Nazi regime.”
And,
“Unlike, for example, Georgia or the Baltic States, history has proved it
impossible for Ukraine to exist as a nation-state, and any attempts to “build”
such a nation-state naturally lead to Nazism. Ukrainism is an artificial
anti-Russian construct that has no civilizational substance of its own, a
subordinate element of an extraneous and alien civilization.”
Also:
“Denazification as a goal of the special military operation within the limits
of the operation itself means a military victory over the Kyiv regime, the
liberation of the territories from the armed supporters of nazification, the
elimination of hard-line Nazis, the imprisonment of war criminals, and the
creating of systemic conditions for further denazification in peacetime.”
And: “— The seizure of educational materials and the
prohibition of educational programs at all levels that contain Nazi ideological
guidelines;
— Mass investigations aimed to establish personal
responsibility for war crimes, crimes against humanity, the spread of Nazi
ideology, and support for the Nazi regime;
— Lustration, making the names of accomplices of the
Nazi regime public, involving them in forced labor to restore the destroyed
infrastructure as punishment for Nazi activities (from among those who have not
become subject to the death penalty or imprisonment);”
Remember every time the term Nazification or Nazi is
used in this article it is a lie, an evil misuse of language in order to
destroy a people. It is meant to allow Putin and the Russian Government to slander,
kill, maim and destroy in the name of some kind of supposedly righteous angel
who is in reality a demon from hell. An anti-Christ in words and actions.
All of those on the far right, the Christians on the
far right, who are glorifying Putin or anyone who agrees with him are reminiscent
of the German Christians during Hitler’s time who were willing to send Jews,
socialists, the disabled and yes, even Confessing pastors to concentration
camps and death chambers.
Hello Viola,
ReplyDeleteYou have been absent here for a while. Excellent post.
"An anti-Christ in words and actions." As we learn from the story of the Temptations of Jesus, the temptation to bend the knee to Satan starts with a lie.
I have believed for a long time that the Christians on the far right have bent a knee to the Anti-Christ.
Although at times I have called him "Mars" because Mars is the "god of war". We use the vocabulary of war in Church all the time, without even noticing it. The Spirit of the Anti-Christ sneaks in, riding on our every day language, and we forget He is the "Prince of Peace".
The appalling and unjust war crime in Ukraine just highlights the fact even more.
But "war" assumes death is final, and final victory is achieved by causing the death of one's foes. If, on the other hand, there is a Resurrection, then "war" is deprived of it's power. And with it every other form of strife and conflict.
Tomorrow we celebrate the final victory of the Prince of Peace.
