Prayed For Putin's Death
 

It was a prayer muttered out of frustration with his blatantly hypocritical and evil ways concerning Ukraine.

I realized I was wrong immediately after the prayer.

Have you ever prayed for the death of another country's leader?

To be honest, I shocked myself with my actions this morning. I didn't think I had it in me to do something so clearly wrong, in the Name of Jesus.

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

What causes you to be so stirred about the Ukraine? Just curious.

Sadly, Putin might actually be the only thing standing in the way of a Muslim conquest of the European continent.

I'm actually more angry at the USA for the way we forced Serbia to surrender Kosovo to the Muslims. I hope Russia rights that wrong someday.

I've read Psalms 109:8 many times, but as hoping for resignation or impeachment.

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

They are people.

What has been done is so blatantly wrong.

What causes others to not care about Ukraine-- that is what baffles me.

Seriously, what stops a leader from doing what Putin did and is doing with Ukraine-- I guess nothing nowadays.

Good people are saying and doing nothing and evil is prospering.

What about Sudan? Or the people of North Korea?

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

Different situations and there aren't lies being spun to the world by the aggressors about the nature of what is happening.

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

The stories of other nations doesn't grab at my sense of morals like Ukraine grabs at my sense of moral obligation to do something.

I also sense fear as being a major reason for the American government's weak response to Russia's naked and ugly aggression.

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

:lol ok...a visual of US bases in the area might be instructive here...I have it somewhere...

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

I don't understand what you find funny.

Please enlighten me.

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

Though it incidentally ended a great evil, what Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans did from 1861-1877 was the greatest crime of the 19th century. So I have a hard time getting all excited about Europe. As far as I'm concerned Western Europeans have judged themselves unworthy of freedom.
As far a Ukraine goes, they should have never given up their nukes.

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

Not gonna go down that road with you, brother. A divided America would never have survived this long.

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

That is irrelevant to the argument as to whether or not Lincoln acted morally or legally. It is supposition to say that two large Americas would not have lasted. They probably would have shook hands and formed a continental security alliance. But again, supposition. As for Ukraine, we are so weak now militarily, morally and economically it would be suicide to try to go to war with Russia.

Ukraine can take care of itself, IMO.

Besides, it doesn't matter what we do, the Baltic States will be rejoining Russia soon anyway. The USSR is about to have a rebirth or resurrection.

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

It does matter what we do and those nations shouldn't be forced to give up their sovereignty.

There was a time when America wouldn't stand for something like this to happen.

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

You realize that if Lincoln had not been killed things there would probably not have been the issues with Reconstruction.
His death put the finishing touches to the North's desire for vengence.

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

Ok, trying, but I need the visual of all the US bases in the area; and from there we can proceed (to a discussion of the US' most likely response to Putin putting a base in the Bahamas or something...)

The point being that your pov might even be the popular one, here, but is at least sort of one-dimensional. Searching...

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

Actually I think Lincoln would have been impeached had he tried to implement his plan, had he lived. Plus the Reconstruction Act was not passed by congress until a full year after the war ended. The north was shocked to see former slaves still working for their former owners and the Southern economy rebounding. So they essentially said, "We've changed our minds. Lincoln was wrong. You are NOT members of the Union. You are conquered provinces. You are right, you are not in the Union". They then set out on 12 years of plunder and did everything in their power to drive a wedge between blacks and whites in the South. When the northern populace grew weary of this and the southern whites were re-enfranchised, the latter set out to disenfranchise the freed slaves because they viewed them as allies of their northern tormenters.

When the sovereignty of my beloved Florida is once again acknowledged, I'll maybe start worrying about Ukraine's. The States created the Union as an agent to preserve their individual sovereignty, not to eliminate or absorb it.

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

Truly, you could not have impeached Lincoln by then with an electric impeachment machine, if you had had one; his Greenbacks had taken hold, and the economy was in a renaissance. I guess depending upon who one listens to, he was quite popular?

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

I would rather have Putin for a President than the one we have. The Ukraine situation is not what it seems. There are plenty of Youtubes showing that the west is pushing Russia.

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

That is why one has to wonder if elements within his own government had him killed.

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

Your view of the world is an obviously deep South one...

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

Friend, up until the last few years, even texts book written by pro-Lincoln scholars admitted that the Reconstruction Act was not in keeping with Lincoln's "Malice towards None" views on reconstruction and would never have been tolerated by him.

Furthermore these same texts books were very graphic in their description of the exploitation of the defeated South by carpertbagger types.

So his view is not the "deep south view".

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

Ya he had plenty of enemies there

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

I agree with you.
Lincoln's assassination changed how the South was treated, for the worse.

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

How is the west pushing Russia and what does that have to do with their annexation of Ukrainian territory?

You don't want Putin, you don't know what kindof devil Putin is.

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

:lol sorry, quoting a mouthpiece like that one is hardly credible--you might at least seek an independent source. I agree, sadly, with MtD.

Re: Prayed For Putin's Death
 

You might also google US bases in Europe and Asia, and view them on a map, to get some clue as to the scope here. Before you post anymore, wadr.
