Well that would have been quite ironic...
This isn’t the first time the Pope’s made dumbass comments in support of Russia since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
He’s walked some of them back when faced with public outcry, but clearly he’s a tankie at heart, which isn’t an uncommon position among Cold War-era South American leftists.
Watching the Red Army elephants get punked for 2 years by the Ukrainian mice has been enlightening. I am no longer afraid of Putin or the Russian armed forces. If they want a war, fine by me. Want some? Get some. Because the West has more advanced equipment and theirs actually works because it's all properly maintained. Russian power is a myth. All they have at the end of the day is meat to put into the grinder. Aside from hoping their opponents run out of bullets before they run out of soldiers to shoot at they have no real strategy. Yes, they have nukes, but like every other piece of Russian ordinance, when nuclear missiles aren't properly maintained they have just as good a chance of exploding inside their silos than reaching their targets. And long before it gets to that point someone will push Putin out of a window because Russia isn't run by communist ideologues anymore. It's run by gangsters and oligarchs who love money above all other things.There is way too much chatter about this, the UK already has boots on the ground, Germany is discussing it's options... that doom's day clock is a few seconds from midnight it seems. I hope more rational minds will prevail, but I never underestimate the potential of human stupidity...
