Zelensky prepares to ban Ukrainian Orthodox Church institutions with affiliations to Moscow
Zelensky claims that the religious institution has undermined support for Ukraine in its war against Russia, claiming that the move is necessary to prevent Russia from being able to ‘weaken Ukraine from within.’
Did Von Der Leyen advise him to do that?
Nope, Bibi did. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!
Seriously, though, this man is using everything in his power to purge his political enemies and anyone who even remotely wants peace that doesn't involve Ukraine taking all Russian territory. This is another ploy. The Kievan Rus never went away.
Headline is false. He's not banning the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. He's asking the legislature for laws which would ban organizations controlled from Russia:
The Moscow Patriarchate is the Russian Orthodox Church: "The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC; Russian: Ру́сская правосла́вная це́рковь, romanized: Rússkaya pravoslávnaya tsérkov), alternatively legally known as the Moscow Patriarchate (Russian: Моско́вский патриарха́т, romanized: Moskóvskiy patriarkhát)"
The Ukrainian church is known as the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.
It's already been established that the Moscow Patriarchate is under the control of the Russian government, and thus is an enemy organization.
Did you used to work for Politifact?
Ukraine is a democracy and its elected government can ban whoever they want as part of wartime emergency measures. The US/UK did the same in WW2. It doesn't mean those countries were not free or democratic.
The Ukraine is a blue monkey buttopia and it's blue-butted monkeys can ban whoever they want as wartime emergency measures. It doesn't mean they aren't blue monkey butts.
Your question is idiotic and you asked it in bad faith. How would I possible know what "Zelensky's barometer" is without reading his mind?
The answer I gave you is the best one that anyone could give you: the Ukrainian government can make whatever barometer they want. If their decision is unpopular with the people, they'll lose the next election. If it's popular with Ukrainians but unpopular with Russians, tough shit for the Russians. The Ukrainian government has 0 obligation to treat ethnic Russians living in Ukraine in a totally nondiscriminatory manner now. In fact, that's what generally happens to invaders as a rule. If the Russians win, Ukrainians will face cultural genocide and they know it. So Russians in Ukraine are a threat. Russian language schools being banned, for example, would be 100% acceptable.
Literally your entire comment.
What, two years ago they were half of the fake "Quid Pro Quo" they impeached Trump over?
Difficult to conceive someone who considers themselves to be "right-wing" or "conservative" coming to the defense of a globo-homo-installed degenerate authoritarian like Zelensky.
Zelensky wasn't "installed" he was democratically elected by the people of Ukraine.
Any true conservative & right winger would support Ukraine against Putin's naked aggression & attempts to rebuild the USSR. It was American conservatives culminating in Ronald Reagan, as well as other conservatives like Thatcher, who brought down the USSR and won the Cold War.
Putin isn't an enemy of globohomo, he couldn't care less about the culture war. He just wants to empire build. He is only against faggots because it tricks useful idiots like you into supporting him. Putin doesn't give a shit about you or your political goals. If legalizing public faggotry would help Putin win the war, he'd do it in a second.
Zelensky is not authoritarian, but Putin is.
Zelensky is not degenerate, but Putin is.
It is laughable for you russian shills to be crying because Zelensky is banning a subversive organization Russia is using to infiltrate Ukraine, when that's standard procedure in a war, and has always been, even in "free" societies. The US and UK were hardly "free" during WW2. Democracy and freedom are not suicide pacts, and plenty of liberties are suspended in times of war. I think you authoritarians somehow think us liberty types have some weakness because our principles don't allow blah blah blah, but in truth we aren't stupid and are happy to make an exception for war.
The Borderlands is going the China route eh? Can't have people being in the same church as someone in Russia now can we?
