It is not a show.
But Mr. President Vladimir Putin has had the toughest job any world ruler, elected president, has ever had in history.
Great interview.
Archbishop came across as extremely kind, peaceful, knowledgeable and very diplomatic.
I would have liked to hear his opinion of those who see Putin as someone who is also following the Great Reset agenda, including the COVID vax fiasco. See ” Is Putin in Cahoots with the Globalists?

Mr President Vladimir Putin would not have engaged in conflict either in Syria or the Ukraine, had he not been able to convince Patriarch Kirill that both were ‘Just Wars’, on the basis of Aquinas exegesis of a Just War.
Theory:Thomas Aquinas – Just War Theory from Summa Theologiae II-II, q. 40.
General Principles:
War is justified (nation A wars justly against nation B) on the following conditions:
A. It is called by a sovereign authority.
B. It has a just cause.
C. The combatants have morally right intentions (not vengeance or profit – see below).
D. Qualifying Conditions (from the theory of double-effect on his justification of killing in self-defense: ST II-II, 64, 7).
Cannot intend intrinsically evil actions.
A good action, or at least a morally neutral action, will have two effects: a good intended, and an evil, not intended, but tolerated.
Proportionality: the good to be achieved outweighs the evil of war.
[Clarifications follow]
Averroes, the great Islamic philosopher of the 12th century, also wrote of just wars, as did many other early and medieval philosophers.
Noam Chomsky, however, apparently finds the concept illegitimate. But that’s Chomsky.
Another perspective on Putin from a well informed and educated academic, Dr Johnson at Radio Albion.

Today’s Daily Nationalist deals with Putin’s agenda and priorities as 2024 comes to a close. As always, all predictions from journalistic and academic sources turned out to be false, and, rather than learn from their mistakes, they invent tall tales about “North Korean” soldiers fighting in Ukraine, tales immediately believed by the talking class.

You quote the Angelic Doctor, Saint Thomas Aquinas?
Well done! Except that — correct me if I am wrong — the Russian Orthodox Church (should not this rather be, the Orthodox Church in Russia? Obviously, the doctrine of the true Church, one, holy, catholic and apostolic, can NOT change at national borders).
But back again, ROC and ROCOR consider Aquinas to be a heretic, correct?
How about this, instead: the re-united Orthodox-Catholic Church, one, holy, Catholic and apostolic holds as doctrine — the content of the faith — everything which the Orthodox, the traditional Catholics and the Oriental Orthodox hold in common?
Everything else is deemphasized, put to the side, for seventy-two years, Theologumenon, theological opinion, not essential for salvation.
I also stated that Averroes, 12th century, and other early and medieval Christians and Muslims recognized the difference between a just war and an unjust war.
Even Augustine I believe had some words about that, as well as Aristotle. It is not a new concept. However I did not have access to Orthodox teachings and doctrine. I’m sure Patriarch Kirill does not have a problem with it.
If the Russian Orthodox Church considers Aquinas to be a heretic it is simply for his opposing belief in the Filioque doctrines, which I believe was the cause of the split in the eleventh century.
Aquinas read tremendously, including Averroes whom he referred to as the Commentator, and Aristotle he referred to as the Philosopher.
If you have a problem with the Just War Thesis, why don’t you write it down?
Also, if you want to get technical, I didn’t mention the Uniate Church in the Ukraine, and THAT is a strange mixture of Orthodoxy and Latin Catholicism, and I believe is head by the Pope. Strange things can happen in religion.
The Uniate Church is probably the direct result of the Orthodox Slavic church probably under domination following the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Poland’s domination of that land. Poland was Latin Catholic; the Slavic Ukrainians originally Rus’ Orthodox.
I have no idea what they are talking about regarding ancient philosophers.
I guess I was miseducated.
However I believe the Palestinians, Hamas, and Hezbollah are on the moral side and their fight against Israelis and the United States Zionist Occupied Government is JUST.
Palestine and its people have A RIGHT to resist, a right to EXIST.
