I think its odd to be a pacifist yet give a justification for an armed invasion of another nation
Prax, how can it be odd? I am a pacifist. The so called justification I gave was my opinion of what I see and have studied in their history.
This area of Crimea was considered the cradle of the Russian people, by their own accounts. This is their troubles. That area of the world has a different set of standards than we do. They, like the mid east, have their own way of doing things. We need to quit trying to impose our mindset upon others.
Again, I am a pacifist and feel we need to stay out of their business.
putin is at war with these guys
and he if he hadn't gone in you'd have another... pick anywhere the US has been it's maybe not so much about seeing which side your bread is buttered on, so much as one of where is the butter coming from
so i'm (mildly) curious if anyone here can name this flag? they do run the world, after all...
God is not going to punish America collectively, any more than He has already punished Amersterdam or those other northern European countries that have been virtually Christ-less for about 100 years now.
Your idea of decency is warped as MOST Russians are not baptized in Jesus Name and filled with the Holy Ghost, which means that their so-called "decency" is as filthy rags.
I personally can not see a world were pacifism works.
Gandhi changed India pacifically.
Satan runs the world, and you guys all know that. He is in control ecumenically, politically, and financially; and each of these has a center on earth that belongs to no nation. that up there is their flag. So see how, if you still operate under the incorrect premise--the one you were taught in school--all, every one, of your answers is going to be skewed.
I just read an article that i found really interesting and shines a bit of a different light on what Russia is up to. Some might find it interesting... but not those who think the Rothchilds are the bad guys running the world...good grief...
The core idea of Dugin’s Eurasianism is that “liberalism” (by which is meant the entire Western consensus) represents an assault on the traditional hierarchical organization of the world. Repeating the ideas of Nazi theorists Karl Haushofer, Rudolf Hess, Carl Schmitt, and Arthur Moeller van der Bruck, Dugin says that this liberal threat is not new, but is the ideology of the maritime cosmopolitan power “Atlantis,” which has conspired to subvert more conservative land-based societies since ancient times. Accordingly, he has written books in which he has reconstructed the entire history of the world as a continuous battle between these two factions, from Rome v. Carthage to Russia v. the Anglo Saxon “Atlantic Order,” today. If Russia is to win this fight against the subversive oceanic bearers of such “racist” (because foreign-imposed) ideas as human rights, however, it must unite around itself all the continental powers, including Germany, Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet republics, Turkey, Iran, and Korea, into a grand Eurasian Union strong enough to defeat the West.

So, in a nutshell.... this could portend to be a fight of the eastern nations, against the west, namely the US...
In the end, based on the article, Russia intends to cobble together a coalition to stand against the west, that includes Germany and all the way East to Iran etc.
and yea, namely the US...

I agree. Even though, the thought of such a thing makes me very sad.
