Should we pray for Putin, as Franklin Graham suggested? If so, what exactly should that prayer be?
Should we pray that God blesses Putin and helps him stay in power and achieve his goals? Or should we pray that God removes him from power?
Should we pray that the man responsible for the murder of innocent civilians, the torture of prisoners, the abduction of Ukrainian children, and the destruction of entire cities is granted success? Or should we pray that Putin repents?
The Bible does call Christians to pray for rulers and those in authority. But Scripture never tells us to pray that tyrants succeed in their oppression. Biblical prayer is a prayer for repentance, justice, and deliverance for the oppressed.
I believe the answer is obvious. But it is not the prayer that Franklin Graham has suggested.
So, if you want to pray for Putin, pray that God removes this evil man from power. Pray that God crushes the demonic spirit that has gripped entire russia. Pray that Putin confesses his sins before God and turns away from his genocidal war.
Pray that Ukrainian children are returned to their families, prisoners are freed, and the killing stops.
Pray that justice is done.

Franklin Graham traveled to Minsk, shook hands with Aleksandr Lukashenko, and then stood before thousands at an evangelical festival and asked them to pray for Lukashenko and Putin as “leaders.”
Pray for Lukashenko – the dictator who has spent decades crushing his own people, imprisoning opponents, and turning Belarus into a satellite of the kremlin.
Pray for Putin – the war criminal responsible for mass murder, torture, the abduction of Ukrainian children, and the largest war in Europe since World War II.
This is the kind of prayer that God finds detestable.
The Bible contains many passages where God makes it clear that not all prayers are acceptable to Him.
“If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction, even their prayers are detestable.” (Proverbs 28:9)
“Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry out and not be answered.” (Proverbs 21:13)
When millions suffer, when children are kidnapped, when cities are turned into rubble, and when innocent people are tortured and murdered, asking Christians to pray for dictators without mentioning their crimes is not an act of faith.
It is an act of moral blindness.
A true Christian prayer today would be a prayer for the liberation of prisoners, the return of stolen children, the protection of the innocent, and the defeat of evil.
When a prominent Christian leader asks believers to pray for tyrants without saying a word about their victims, the bombed cities, the tortured prisoners, and the murdered children, that is not moral leadership.
It is moral bankruptcy.
Ukrainian Christians are not praying for the comfort of executioners. They are praying for truth to prevail, for justice to be done, and for evil to be defeated.
God is a God of mercy.
But He is also a God of justice.

Tucker Carlson is a typical russian propagandist.
His narratives are built not on facts, but on lies. His target audience consists of people who lack critical thinking and are easily deceived by conspiracy theories and propaganda.
For years, he has promoted russian propaganda. He has downplayed russia’s aggression, criticized U.S. support for Ukraine, and even blamed Ukraine for russia’s invasion. Even as civilians were being killed and cities were being destroyed, Tucker Carlson blamed Ukrainians for not wanting to make peace with russia.
Recently, he conducted yet another blatant propaganda interview, this time with former Ukrainian press secretary Iuliia Mendel. Carlson found a bitter woman to help spread russian propaganda once again.
I am not going to waste my time debunking all the lies and propaganda. Just watch the video.
……………..,,,,,
The United States are abandoning another ally: We will not defend Taiwan, and we are halting weapons deliveries to the island because they themselves want to start a war against China – Trump.
This exactly the same rhetoric Trump used against Ukraine: “You don’t start a war against somebody that’s 20 times your size, and then hope that people give you some missiles.”
………………..
It was disgusting to see Trump praising and calling Chinese dictator Xi Jinping his “friend.” But I guess we should not be surprised anymore after Trump called the russian war criminal Putin his “friend,” invited him to the United States of America, and hung his portrait in the White House.
I honestly don’t recognize the Republican Party anymore. A bunch of wimps afraid to call out their naked king. Reagan is turning in his grave.

This is how Ukrainian kids are having lessons in Kharkiv subway station.
“Franklin Graham traveled to Minsk, shook hands with Aleksandr Lukashenko, and then stood before thousands at an evangelical festival and asked them to pray for Lukashenko and Putin as “leaders.”
Far from being a holy man, Graham is clearly just another putler-rimming bastard.
Mendel has already done enough to get 20 years behind bars and lose all her assets to the state.
Carlson on the other hand, long ago did more than enough to get an appointment with the gallows.
I do not agree on Mendel. Carlson or not, even Denys Davydov admitted that there is alot of truth in what she said. She did not clean the toilets in the kremlin, but was close to the president, just like Yermak was.
Carlson is a full-blown nazi who hates Ukraine as much as Krasnov does. He wants Ukraine and Ukrainians DEAD.
You don’t give an interview to a sick motherfucker like that unless you share his precise objectives.
If she was sincere, she’d go to the EP, KI or KP.
The only remaining question is whether she is a switch or was always working for the kremkrappers.
A spot of waterboarding would answer that.
Ukrainian media is mainly under pressure of the government. Critics are consequently labeled as traitors or working for Putin. It’s a hot iron and surely difficult concerning ruSSia’s aggression. I, in her case, listened to the message, not the channel she chose. She definitely did stir up something, which is good. If Ukraine wants to join the West all filth must go that compromises the cause without any mercy!

All three I listed are independent and often highly critical of Zel and his policies.
Corruption stories often appear in those before anywhere else.
And they are also highly critical of his predecessors.
There’s no favoritism whatsoever.

I can’t see them as Republicans. I see them as scum.
