• War is only justifiable as a defensive, not as a political instrument.
• The ambiguity of the Ukrainian conflict shows itself in the right to self-defence and, on the other hand, the American interest to confront Russia.
• Putin who “absurdly” declares himself a Christian started the war.
• Putin may be criticised for his military politics, but not in the name of “Western Values” like abortion or gay-marriages which are “not values.”
• Russia is part of "Christian culture."
• The Orthodox profess in substance the Catholic faith, but have lost an universal orientation by transferring the principle of unity to the Nation.
• The German Church seems to be succumbing to this same nationalist temptation.
• We cannot criticise Russian nationalism but accept the fact that the Church is manipulated by the interests of the European Union which is “anti-Christian.”
• Brussels is full of ideology, criticises Hungary for having elected Orban, applauds France voting for Macron, and doesn't respect democracy, e.g. in Italy [where there is an unelected government.]
