Ukraine is a democratic country with a government and borders recognised by the UN and by the entire world, with the recent exception of Russia. It has the right to have its territorial integrity respected and its civilian population has the right to life, even in the event of enemy invasion. These are matters of international law to which Russia is a signatory. Yet Russia has invaded and is ravaging great swathes of the country with no regard for the civilian population.
Unless you’re prepared to stand up and say that Russia is God’s chosen instrument for the judgment of a wicked society, then pointing to Ukraine’s moral failings as an attempt to sound even handed in debate is equivocation of the worst kind.

You are incredibly judgemental for a man of your position Chris.
Ukraine had a democratic government that had alliances with Russia overthrown and replaced with a democratic government with alliances with the west and now the West are backing them against Russia. Funny that so you not think?
You only have to do a little search to see what has gone on in Ukraine people trafficking and child sex trafficking and the right wing aspects to see it is not as clean a nation as the West are making it out to be.
I am leaving God out of my discussions on the forum due to how you treated me last time Chris so please do not try to draw me into conversations on such matters
