Americans Fail To Comprehend Russian “Holy War” Southern Border Invasion
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki shocked his United States, NATO and European Union allies when he announced yesterday: “We are no longer transferring weapons to Ukraine, because we are now arming Poland with more modern weapons”, and this announcement was made by a Poland that absolutely hates Russia.

To understand what’s going on in Poland, the Danube Institute research group reported last year: “Over the past few years, Catholic churches and prelates in Poland have been subject to attacks by mainly feminist and LGBTQ activists who claim be Catholics themselves…The first wave of such attacks started in 2020 with feminist groups protesting against the ruling of the Constitutional Tribunal that tightened abortion law in Poland…The second wave of attacks has been ongoing since 2021…These cases are concurrent with a new wave of attacks by LGBTQ groups protesting both against the abortion legislation and the street violence aimed at their community”.

While facing a rapidly growing religious conflict, Polish leaders are well aware that Russia follows the Orthodox Christian Church doctrine of “Just War”, which defines when the waging of war becomes a moral necessity, lays out criteria by which a Christian is intended to determine whether or not a specific war was entered into and is conducted in a virtuous manner, so that killing would become a moral necessity, and although the Orthodox Church has used the doctrine to determine when a state or empire may engage in armed conflict, it has nevertheless always considered killing even in such cases to be a sin, and has thus required the therapy of repentance.

Otherwise known as “Holy War”, in preparing for the “therapy of repentance”, Russia dedicated the massive Main Church of the Russian Armed Forces in June-2022, and it was noted at the time: “Putin and the head of the Russian church, Patriarch Kirill, have resurrected the ideas about empire for the 21st century in the form of the “Russian World” – giving new meaning to a phrase that dates to medieval times…For church and state, the idea of “Russian World” encompasses a mission of making Russia a spiritual, cultural and political center of civilization to counter the liberal, secular ideology of the West…This vision has been used to justify policies at home and abroad”.

A year after Russia began its “Holy War” preparations with the dedication of the Main Church of the Russian Armed Forces cathedral to provide the Orthodox Church mandated “therapy of repentance” for soldiers committing the sin of killing, President Vladimir Putin signed into law the decree entitled “Strategy Of National Security Of The Russian Federation” on 2 July 2021, about which the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace noted: “The strategy lays out a view of a world undergoing transformation and turmoil…The hegemony of the West, it concludes, is on the way out, but that is leading to more conflicts, and more serious ones at that…The strategy does not ignore the moral and ethical aspects of national security…It provides a list of traditional Russian values and discusses them at length…It sees these values as being under attack through Westernization, which threatens to rob the Russians of their cultural sovereignty, and through attempts to vilify Russia by rewriting history…In sum, the paper marks an important milestone in Russia’s official abandonment of the liberal phraseology of the 1990s and its replacement with a moral code rooted in the country’s own traditions”.
