Moscow Threatens to Break Last USA Diplomatic Ties

 It's very hard for us sitting in the USA to actually KNOW what's really going on with the Russia-Ukraine war.  All of our MSM has come up with the narrative that RUSSIA IS BAD, PUTIN IS EVIL, HE MUST BE STOPPED, UKRAINE IS GOOD, UKRAINE IS FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT, WE MUST STOP PUTIN IN UKRAINE OR HE WILL JUST KEEP TAKING, WWIII US UPON US.

But is it all really that simple?  Major global events are seldom that simple.  It really is like trying to play 4 dimensional chess.

Some things that we can know for sure is that the civilians in Ukraine ARE caught up in a nasty confrontation and they are suffering.  Putin does have nuclear weapons.  We don't know for sure if Putin is a totally rational actor at this point.  We don't know what Putin is capable of if he ends up feeling like he is cornered and losing all that he hoped to gain.

And now here is an article explaining that Russia-USA relations might be dropping from the toilet and into the sewer.

Russian threatened to break off diplomatic ties with the United States on Monday over recent comments by President Joe Biden calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a “war criminal.”

Russia’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying it conveyed the threat to U.S. Ambassador John Sullivan. The statement said Biden’s comments put “Russian-American relations on the verge of rupture.”

Biden’s war criminal remark came hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed U.S. Congress.

The comment marked a rhetorical escalation for the U.S. President, who till that point steadfastly refused from branding Putin as a criminal.

Asked by reporters on Thursday about Biden’s comment, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, “Personally, I agree.”

“Intentionally targeting civilians is a war crime. After all the destruction of the past three weeks, I find it difficult to conclude that the Russians are doing otherwise,” Blinken added.

The Russian invasion has been marked by airstrikes and tank fire on residential buildings, a maternity hospital, and an art school. The death toll has been impossible to confirm. U.N. officials say at least 925 Ukrainian civilians have been killed since Russia invaded on Feb. 24. Ukrainian officials say more than 2,300 civilians have been killed in the siege of Mariupol alone, with many buried in mass graves.

The International Criminal Court has already ordered Russia to cease its invasion of Ukraine. Countries refusing to comply with ICC rulings are referred to the UN Security Council, but Russia has veto power there.

Russia and USA had the HOT LINE during the Cold War.  It was a phone that linked directly from the White House into the Kremlin.  A phone that could be used in the event of a nuke mistake or misunderstanding.  A phone that two rational leaders might use to stave off destroying the world.  We might assume that such a phone still exists.  But what if Russia just decides to cease all communications with USA?

No doubt the world is in a very serious place.  If we weren't followers of Christ and didn't know that he has this whole situation totally under control, it would be very worrying indeed.
