From My Heart
It astounds me that Putin and his Russian Army can bomb hospitals, schools, apartment complexes, and even kindergartens - and the United Nations, NATO, Europe, America, Canada, and China all stand by and allow him to break every rule of the Geneva Convention. Thousands of the elderly, children, and women are being slaughtered by this evil man! It is shameful that this aggression is being allowed to go on! Attacking and killing children is a war crime if ever there was one, and not a soul is brave enough to stand up and stop it.
I know the argument that says, “Ukraine is not a member of NATO.” I know the argument that says, “Stopping Putin will cause WW III.” I know the argument that says, “But Putin has access to nuclear weapons.” I know these things, but I also know 1,000’s of innocent people will be needlessly slaughtered by this thug. Does anyone think he will stop at Ukraine? The only thing Putin and thugs like him understand is strength. If someone does not stand up to him and stop him, the brutal killing and destruction will continue.
But this is what Communist Socialists do! Stalin killed millions of his own citizens forcing them into compliance. Fidel Castro killed thousands upon thousands by forcing the people of Cuba to surrender to his tyranny. Castro’s hired hitman, Che Guevara, murdered multitudes of Cuban people who resisted Castro’s Socialism. And American Socialists today wear t-shirts with Guevara’s picture on it! Mao did the same in China! Several of the Russian soldiers who have been captured are crying and are so filled with remorse for attacking the innocent people of Ukraine. But, of course, if they do not follow orders, they will be shot for being a traitor!
I read this week where the Biden Administration has a new tactic of passing blame for the high rate of inflation, gas prices doubling, and overall terrible economy they have created. They are hiring these young, attractive, and energetic Tik-Tok stars to do short videos telling their mind-numbed followers that this horrible economy we are facing today is Vladimir Putin’s fault. The Administration wants us to understand that none of what is happening in our country is the fault of the Biden Administration. Every day the White House sends out two or three spokesmen who do their best to blame Putin, Trump, Xi, Covid, the weather, Republicans, or some other fabricated source for why the nation is crumbling. Biden recently said, “He is sick and tired of hearing people say the mess is being caused by his policies.” He said, “My policies are working!”
The coming of the Lord is surely close! Just when you think it cannot get any worse, it somehow gets worse. With the world in chaos, the time is right for the Antichrist to show up and have a plan for peace - where the world can get along!
Have a wonderful day!
