The West needs to protect allies from Putin

The anti–Christ is here and many have come before, according to 1 John 2. 18-21. When Putin proclaimed he was Jesus Christ and Saviour for the Russian people, it appeared a bit odd when an Orthodox bishop was seated there listening intently and none of them complained about him. 

One wonders what right Putin had to invade Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and get away with it. 

His missiles targeted civilians and not the Ukrainian military. The United Nations will charge him with war crimes and genocide of innocent people being raped, slaughtered, and buried to hide the evidence. I was happy to hear in the news that the Ukrainian Air Force destroyed hundreds of Russian troops in the Donetsk region, but Putin always tells us in his propaganda that they lost 63 troops whereas Ukraine announced the figure was 400 troops. 

Have you seen the face of Putin recently? His face looks so dismal and the economy is in losses of six digits due to sanctions. 

EU are no longer friends with him. Germany will not import natural gas or oil from Russia but will import liquid hydrogen from Canada instead.

The only allies Putin has are Belarus, China, Iran, and the Rocket Man from North Korea. I am pleased that President Biden plans to send $1.85 billion MIM-104 Patriot hypersonic missiles to Ukraine and tankers from Germany. The West must protect their allies and hope Ukraine will join NATO when President Putin runs out of energy. 

They should hold him accountable for the destruction he has caused to Ukraine and help them rebuild to its original state.
