More proof, as if any were needed, that Zelenskyy is a genius playing chess in four dimensions, while the Mike Johnsons of the world struggle with checkers in two.

Fund Ukraine. Win the war, send Russia home and set them and Pootie back decades for this violent, horrific crime against humanity. (Can you imagine Putin in handcuffs, sitting before an international tribunal with headphones on like a common Hermann Göring?) Deal with the religious right later, because that creepy little epic battle is never going away.
Which of the two Orthodox churches in Ukraine (the "official" one, considered schmatic by some other orthodox), or the Ukrainian branch of the Russian Orthodox... or, the "Greek Catholic" (more or less Orthodox, but with the Pope at the head) is less anti-LGBTQ+?
But would gay-hatin’ be enough to convince Marge Traitor Greene to back off her threats to unseat Johnson or does her loyalty to Trump and Russia overrule that?
If two bad people do a thing that has a good result, for all the wrong reasons ... that doesn't take away from the fact that it was still a good result.
I'll take the aid for Ukraine no matter who is blowing smoke up Mikey's bunghole at this point.
Plus it'll make EmptyG & PAB and the turds in the MAGAt wing of the GOP have a conniption fit because "Ukraine aid BAD" but "God Good" will have to live in their brains at the same time. Win/win.
Lotta fuckin’ gray area in the world, isn’t there?
Yes, there certainly is. And the grayest area is to which version of a vindictive, gay-hating god are these subservient bigots appealing to? Not that it matters to me. They're all make-believe anyway.
I think Zelinsky is just using them, and when they call in their favor, he's going to tell them to pound sand...If its true that Ukrainian evangelicals only make up 2% of the Ukrainian population, well that's less than HALF the number of LGBTQ people in the same country...WELL below the tipping point needed to start bossing other people around
Also after this is all over and Russia pulls out (crossing fingers), there is going to be a SUPER strong Ukrainian identity and pride thing going on...There's not going to be a lot of patience for haters and dividers...
We need a forensic audit of every Republican in Congress to determine if they ever took money from Russian agents.
AOT, K.

For Catholics it is a specific religious title, but you might get some sleazy sex out of the deal.

You stupid fucking GOPers... Remember the last time a regional war was framed as a religious war?
That would the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
And the blow back that happened nearly two decades later?

This is fucking dark.

Not sure I understand this. If the Evangelicals finally agree to give aid to Ukraine, what is the ultimate downside, if any?
Increased political and cultural power to these theocrats after the war. Long term increase in religiosity and reduction in rights for gay people.
All in all, not as bad as letting Putin win that war, but it is definitely a deal with the devil situation. (The devil is the church in this case)
The bill coming due.
