Russian Orthodox Head Calls For “Eradicating” Ukraine

The Daily Beast reports:

Beneath the gold onion domes of the Danilov Monastery a few miles south of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin’s chief shaman explains why Russia is hell-bent on destroying Ukraine.

“If we see [Ukraine] as a threat, we have the right to use force to ensure the threat is eradicated,” Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill recently preached to his church’s 90 million faithful followers.

“We have entered into a conflict which has not only physical but also metaphysical significance. We are talking about human salvation, something much more important than politics.”

Kirill last appeared on JMG when he blamed the war on the West’s embrace of pride parades.

He first appeared here in 2014 when he called for Russia to criminalize homosexuality.

In 2016, he declared that people join ISIS in order to stop pride parades.

We heard from him again in 2017 when he sprinkled holy water on Kremlin computers to stop ransomware attacks.

Also that year, he declared same-sex marriage to be just like Nazism.
