Thatās not all he doesnāt understand. The much, much shorter list to compile would be: āwhat the orange bufoon does understandā.

Iām posting another article on this. I just canāt believe the affront to historical fact and the blatant manipulation of political decisions.
If President Orang-utan, in his benevolence, gives away sovereigntys and allows the Russian borders to extend right down and across the Mediterranean to as far as say, oh, the French Alps. Yep, the war finishes fastā¦ for now.

This is an interesting find sine, despite your dismissive commentary. If the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church could be in communion with Rome and Constantinople, that could be a lead for many other Eastern churches to do likewise and help heal the 1054 schism. Of course the Russians will be less enthusiastic, but this unification could be a silver lining to a very stormy cloud. The mutual excommunications were lifted in 1965, itās time to get the banned back together.

Too many wars and atrocities have been (and still are) committed in the name of religion for my liking.
However, anything that helps bring a fractious world towards peace, Iām all for.

Australiaās current Catholic Cardinal appointed by the Vatican is from the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Branch.
It seems the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church has a bit of local sympathy as an unashamedly Ukrainian institution without ties to Moscow.
These divisions will get more focus in Ukraine this year as laws preventing the operation of religious organisations controlled by aggressor states (hint: not North Korea) begin to be enforced.

Thatās a tough one for Ukrainians still committed to the Russian Orthodox Church .
I donāt know how it will be played out here and whether any Ukraine Orthodox have broken away from the Russian Church.
I used to work with a bunch of Ukrainians in Canberra, most of them from families who worked on the Snowy ( as did Jesaulenko, Canberraās most famous Australian Rules player before Hird, which explains why so many were Carlton supporters) . The one Catholic among them was patriotic, extremely anti Russian. The others never got into politics or religion.

With air defence, thereās a tension between cost of the incoming weapon, cost of the interceptor, cost of the launcher and cost of the target being protected.
Ukraine doesnāt have many air defence systems, so they canāt risk pushing them towards the front. They need to defend in depth to protect their military and civilian infrastructure. If they pushed these forward, Russia would take them out with anything available.
If they did push an air defence system forward, then the incoming bombs would cost maybe 1% of the cost of the interceptor missile. There just arenāt enough supplies of western AMRAAM and the like to take out cheap glide bombs. The launching aircraft are better targets, but they are very difficult to hit.
So thereās no good option for Ukraine here. They would struggle to hit the bombs if they did risk their launchers. And the bombs they did take out would likely miss their target anyway, so theyād be risking rare strategic systems on bombs that only occasionally have a tactical impact.
