It is noted that to listen to the premiere of “Get out, the war!” and you can watch the video here.
“Great Light, back the war! Why kill fathers, children? Back of the divine tyrants-katіv, so that the light does not fly to heaven in one hour! ”, – these words of the song are a call to the entire civilized world, which has no right to leave Ukraine face to face with a cruel enemy.
“The Antichrist has come to our land. Ukrainians could not imagine such horror, such cruelty, such suffering. This is Russian genocide against the Ukrainian people. But the victory is ours, because the truth is on our side and God is with us,” says Tabakov.
As reported, on February 24, Russian President Putin announced the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops are shelling and destroying key infrastructure, rockets hit residential buildings. Martial law has been introduced in Ukraine and general mobilization has been declared.

Because "Gog" is mythical nonsense believed in by crazy people reading ancient nonsense.
Oh, you mean "mythical nonsense" like the bible?
There are undoubtedly many opinions surrounding Gog, Magog, and the intensely complex themes in these biblical texts. GotQuestions is one of the outlets that has provided an explainer regarding Russia, among other facets.
“Gog is a person. Whoever Gog is, he is from the land of Magog and is the leader of Tubal and Meshek (some translations add ‘Rosh’ to the list) and a confederacy of other nations: Persia, Cush, Put, Gomer, and Beth Togarmah (Ezekiel 38:5–6),” the outlet notes.
“And, whoever he is, he will have plans to ‘attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people,’ viz., Israel (verses 11, 14, and 18). But, regardless of Gog’s plans, the Lord God is against him and will defeat him soundly (Ezekiel 38:4, 19–23; 39:3–5).”
You Papists and Mary worshipers aren't really fond of biblical prophecy, are you?
Jesus talking to the Churches, which is good. Jesus closing out the set at the end, which is good. And then John's crazy fever dream in the middle with all the imagery, which is opaque and useless.
You see, the way I see it, there comes a time in a man's life when he needs to think and no longer simply believe what his parents taught him, or some pastor somewhere. You reach a certain age and you've got the information in there to think for yourself.
I'm pretty smart, and have been interested in religion for years, so I've read. I've especially read the Bible, in different versions, over and over and over. KJV, NIV, New American Bible, RSV, NRSV, Jersualem, Concnrdant, NKJV, l'Edition du Nouveau Monde, and interlinears too, of the Greek, of the Hebrea, of the different main base texts - Bible after Bible I've read, and I've come to many realizations in the process.
I've also read oceans of commentary ABOUT the Bible, its translations, issues, considerations. Some of it polemic, with people accusing each other of bad faith, being agents of Satan, etc.
First, they all mostly say exactly the same thing.
Second, I'll notice that where they differ, it is almost always an issue of which underlying text one has translated, but also, it's a matter of the preference of the translator - what the translator believes is how the text is translated.
Third, I will note that most people do not have the patience or the reasonableness to hold different translations in their mind. They have to chose ONE, and reject the others. But I hold several in my mind at once, and I consider the difference, sometimes the wide difference, in views to be interesting and worth further exploration.
Other people are superstitious and ignorant, and if what they discover differs from what they learned, or what their own pastor (who himself has very probably not read as much or as deeply) says, they are inclined to start screaming at the source that says something different, AS IF they were contacted by God and told THE TRUTH.
That they believe that, of course, is pathetic. Several of you sure talk that way, as though God talked to you and gave you correct details.
And this authorizes you to be assholes to other people.
Which, then, either awakens their inner asshole, and you bark at each other like junkyard dogs.
Or it encourages the people who have actually taken the time to read so much, and think so much, to just walk on by, disgusted.
Not everybody, I am sure...plus, you always bring up interesting points for lurkers to consider.

BTW...and when you feel unfairly "shat upon", it is always wise to just consider the source. They usually ain't folks you have a burning need to impress and bring over to your way of thinking on this issue or that.
Our country will allow neither. So I have to be irritated a lot. Just got a ticket yesterday for using my cell phone. Yes, I was using the navigation feature to get somewhere. Cop didn't care, gave me a ticket and now I have to pay $138 and have points on my license.
Nothing I CAN do. But if I COULD snap my fingers and cause him to have an agonizing heart attack, be crippled, and suffer as a blind cripple for the rest of his life, I would.
I often drive with my seatbelt hanging over my shoulder, but I don't lock it in...it just dangles uselessly across my chest. Why?! Becuz DemRATZ said I couldn't....FUCK DemRATZ and RINOZ...I wanna punch each and every one of them in their ugly, tight-assed faces, repeatedly, day after day...but I won't, unless DemRATZ throw the next punch. Then it's Katey Bar the F'n Door, ewe RAT-bitches and BASSturdz...lol!!
