Mammary,
I did not intend to put the blame for this solely on the US, nor am I intending to make Putin a saint here. Far from it. In addition, none of the facts I stated earlier are incorrect. The key to what I said is the deal that Russia and the US made regarding Ukraine after the cold war ended. If The US had told the EU to back off, none of this is likely happening. This is not the US fault solely, the EU has also been involved.
The Ukraine is an interesting mix. The Eastern half is Primarily Pro Russia, while the Western half is Pro West. If the hornet's nest is stirred, it will create an internal conflict.
My hope and prayer is that this ends peacefully, but my fear is that it will not go well, and especially with in the times we are in, that is a very real danger (IE Mary's message on the 25th of January where she states that hatred and war are increasing daily). I have no confidence in our leadership here in the US to move this in the right direction, and that is not helping the situation.
Regarding Putin, God may be using him, but he is no saint. I would not be comfortable if he were my leader. He is too power hungry and manipulates the system for his own personal gain. He is also taking advantage of a President who is weak and is doing whatever he can get away with.
In the end, we need to pray for peace. All of this going on right now does not help, but our faith and hope in God does help.
