Pope Francis Says it Takes Courage to Surrender

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Zelensky PopePope Francis has suggested a ceasefire amid the Ukraine-Russia war after three years of destruction and tens of thousands of lives lost. “Ukraine must have the courage to raise the white flag,” the Pope said during a recent interview. The Catholic Church, the pope, and the idea of peace have received harsh backlash in response.

Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, said that Ukraine would never waive a white flag to surrender. “Our flag is a yellow and blue one. This is the flag by which we live, die, and prevail. We shall never raise any other flags,” Kuleba said. Kuleba related the battle to one of good vs evil, a concept that Russian President Putin has vehemently denied.

These sentiments were reiterated by Western leaders who support this endless war. Latvian President Edgars Rinkēvičs said, “One must not capitulate in [the] face of evil. One must fight it and defeat it, so that the evil raises the white flag and capitulates.” Polish foreign minister Radosław Sikorski also took to social media to condemn the Pope’s comments, asking him to instead encourage Putin to withdraw his army. “Peace would immediately ensue without the need for negotiations,” Sikorski wrote. That is simply untrue and impossible. The West has put so much money into Ukraine that they fully expect a return on their investment beyond any reparations Russia could provide. The West, in all actuality, wants to take over Russia.

 

 

German Democrat MEP Dennis Radtke called the pope’s words “shameful.” “His stance on Ukraine reflects poorly on his pontificate. It is incomprehensible,” Radtke said on X. Peace is truly an incompressible solution for the West, who know that Ukraine cannot win but will keep the war raging on for their own self-interests.

Putin has been asking for a peace agreement. Tens of thousands are dead over a land dispute. The Minsk Agreement was a lie and everything promised on the basis of peace and diplomatic relations has vanished. Had we permitted historic Russian territories to vote, all of this could have been avoided. There is a reason that NATO is fiercely supporting a non-member nation in this battle because they need to use Ukraine as their battleground to defeat Russia. No one considers the actual Ukrainian people who are being used as cannon fodder.

Zelensky was naturally enraged over the prospects of ending the war, saying that although prayers were appreciated, but reiterated Ukraine needs reinforcement in the form of money and military power. “ Not 2,500 km away, somewhere, virtual mediation between someone who wants to live and someone who wants to destroy you,” Zelensky stated. Russia had no intentions of destroying Ukraine. Putin said he believes that the people of Ukraine and Russia will one day be united as they are blood. There was never even a plan to take over Ukraine as the aim was to liberate specific territories.

The Catholic Church is under fire for suggesting that Ukraine turn the other cheek. Russia cannot end this war for they are battling the entire West; Ukraine is merely the battleground. How could Ukraine win this war? There is no possibility of that happening and it is no longer Ukraine’s war. There has been no progress in three years.

 

 

“Negotiations are never a surrender. It is the courage not to carry a country to suicide,” Pope Francis accurately stated. Pope Francis continued to encourage peace and calls for a truce. He urged nations not aligned with the neocon agenda to continue offering options for peace. “Today, for example with the war in Ukraine, there are many who want to act as mediators. Turkey, for example. Don’t be ashamed to negotiate before things get worse,” he stated.

Peace has never been an option. Ukraine will continue to send men to die in battle, and those men will soon be replaced with men from other nations as the replenishment rate is unsustainable. Ukraine would NOT cease to exist if it surrendered, and Russia has no intention of empire-building. Russia has said it would be open to allowing a quiet peace negotiation and would like Ukraine to find a way to end the war “with dignity.” Only one side would like this war to come to an end, but they are in no position to surrender, for they risk their entire nation.

Kuleba should understand that the average American hates Ukraine and wants to shut off the torrent of Our money flowing into that shithole.

Don’t love or hate Ukraine, but do want to shut off the torrent of Our money flowing into that shithole. There was a reason Ukraine had never been a country until 1991, because it is a corrupt shithole. Always has been, always will be, which is why the Biden’s went there.

The Ukraine war is entirely a Jewish plot to cleanse the land of Christian Slavs.

The Jews do not want any land free of gentiles.
If they wiped gentiles off the face of the earth , the lazy jew would starve to death, naked, and homeless

But then maybe Haiti is not as it seems, and true disorder is tougher to find than you would think. From 1:51, in this interview with Barbecue, a picture of the hand of this street criminal gang leader:

Courage does not make the decision morally right. Depends on the circumstances.

Listen to me! Expecting a Pope to speak on moral character! WTF was I thinking?

The Pope to Zelensky “Surrender that sweet ass to me boy!”

Zelensky starts sucking thumb and saying “Take me to a happy place. ”

Just then, Harry kicks open the bathroom stall door and knocks out the pope.

This is a war that has been fought for several millennia. It will never end.

To hold the tide against Russia for the next millennium Zelenskyy must eliminate all birth control to replace and increase the supply of soldiers before Russia does.

Putin has already requested that the women of his country have more children. They of course will not do so willingly. He will then ban birth control.

China will also ban birth control within the next few years.

You heard it it here first.

It take courage to stand up to the Socialists agenda too, something he does not have.
