New Pope denounces Russia for attacking Ukraine

[Nictuku]

17. I understand all that, and I would like to apologize to you, specifically

I painted with a much too wide brush. As with any group of people, there are good and bad among them. I should have made a more succinct statement, such as: Russians (who support Putin) can go fuck themselves. While I understand that many Russians, living in Russia, have been brainwashed and propagandized to the point where they don't seem to be able to understand the truth of the matter (either that, or they have zero empathy).

I can use that same paintbrush against Americans (who support Trump). At least here, we have a label to make it easier: MAGAs.

Again, I am sorry. I KNOW there are good, decent Russians (some living in Russia). And the poverty and crime/corruption that they have to deal with is horrific. One of them is this guy who's videos I regularly watch: Vasya in the Hay. This guy uses his youtube channel to go out to these abandoned villages and assist the elderly and babushkas who are living in the worst kind of poverty you can imagine. That guy, that Russian, is a hero in my eyes. Here is a link to his channel if anyone is interested:

So, for the third time (I hope this shows how embarrassed I am for my thoughtless statement), I am sorry, and I can understand how it could offend.

The other main thing that I have learned from many of the Ukraine Reports etc. that I follow, is that the Russian Orthodoxed Church is really just another arm of the FSB. I don't think it is an honest religion (I'm not sure if any are, but I don't see others blessing bombs that are going to be used to kill civilians)

Maluhia (Peace)
