Let's look at the facts.
1) Russia signed an agreement to NOT attack Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons.
RUSSIA HAS VIOLATED THIS AGREEMENT.
2) Putin not only ILLEGALLY started the war, he has also specifically gone after civilian targets--hospitals, schools, daycare, apartment complexes.
3) Power stations might well be fair game, but their treament of "Europe's" largest nuclear power plant is disturbingly and dangerously cavalier, and it's clear that he wants to seize THAT, as well (free power for Mother Russia?).
4) Putin's fit of pique after having the only bridge to Crimea blown up resulted in a PEDESTRIAN bridge being blown up.
5) Putin has used long-range missiles, weaponized drones, and now a veiled threat of nuclear weapons as ever-more-desperate attempts to gain ground.
6) Putin displayed vast hubris when he seemed to think Ukraine would fall over perhaps a long weekend.
7) Putin has had negotiators lie about cease-fires and has NEVER honored the agreed-upon terms.
Do these sound like the characteristics of Christ? The attitude of Christ?
These are the actions of a lying breaker of sober international obligations.
