Russian Commander on State TV Declares 'Holy War'
Fighting against Western 'Satanism,' Putin pardons Satanist who murdered four teens in a cult sacrifice

Yes, it’s true. Everything as we know it is upside down. Hold on, because if we ever plan to right things, it will require a quick jerking movement, and unfortunately, many less balanced people will get hurt.
One of those who tend to be utterly oblivious to his precarious position in the “great upside-down (thank you, Stranger Things, for that beautiful concept) is a Russian-Chechen commander who appeared on one of those off-the-rails Russian fake news TV shows.
Russian commander Apti Alaudinov recently told Russian-state television host Vladimir Solovyov that Ukraine is the “starting point” in the war against “Satanism.”
When Solovyov asked about the state of the war, nearly two years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of its Eastern European neighbor in February 2022, Alaudinov said, “The war we’re currently waging in Ukraine, and many people don’t want to understand this, in reality, for Russia, this is a holy war and nothing else.”
Alaudinov explained that Russia isn’t going after Ukraine for its land, but rather, “we’re defending the interests of our people in terms of spirituality, morality, divine values, universal human values (Starting Point Against Satanism).”
This man is a big dope. I have seen hundreds of these monsters over the years in Russia. Their physical power is simply off the charts, and it would take a fool to challenge them to fights, but they are dummies. They, indeed, are incapable of understanding basic things like a round world, 2+2=4, that sugar dissolved in hot coffee, and that Russia under the current dictator represents evil.
This Apti Alaudinov sits there on TV and tells the world that Russia is genociding Ukrainians not because it wants the “chernozem” or anything from that very fertile country but because it wants to exercise the country the demons preventing it from enjoying the second-rate status from which Belarus suffers. If you ask the average Belarussian, no one likes that their country is a vassal state of Russia. This is what Russians can’t wrap their inflexible little brains around: Ukrainians don’t want to be colonized by Moscow.
Commander Apti tells us, “We’re defending the interests of our people in terms of spirituality, morality, divine values, universal human values.” I will admit that I was waiting for the punchline when I read these words.
Let’s take a look at what this lunatic means by these words.
Russian spirituality and morality
This is the country that invaded its neighbor and has spent the past two years raping and killing women and children. These great spiritual leaders have tortured countless innocent non-combatants, and when not terrorizing them, they are loading up their tanks with stolen washers, TVs, and microwaves. God bless their little hearts, right?
Russians are so spiritual that they happily sent their men and boys off to die in “meat waves,” not because any foreign country was threatening Russia but because a corrupt and murderous elite decided it wanted more money. A defeated Ukraine would have rained countless billions down upon Putin and his cronies.
The morality of all of this can summed by the way Russians like to bomb hospitals and schools. They did this regularly in Syria and kept it up in Ukraine. The idea that Russia is trying to push its spirituality and morality onto another country and thinking that someone would like this reminds me of something I read about concentration camps. The camps were made to make the horrible act of genociding millions more humane — for the killers, not the victims. The German soldiers were struggling psychologically to murder so many by hand, so they came up with the idea of gas chambers. Russia’s goal to inflict sickly morals and diseased spirituality onto other people also makes me think this is a holy war. Russia needs to be defeated.
Divine Values and Universal Human Values
Wow. Where does one begin? My head is spinning like I just got off the rotor at Six Flags — that was the ride where it turned so fast that you stuck to the wall, and then the floor dropped out. Inevitably, two or three people would vomit, but thanks to gravity, the vomit went back on them. Any talk of Russian “human values” and “divine values” immediately gets the juices in my mouth flowing.
This is a topic that could, in an instant, turn into a Tolstoy-sized epic novel. As big as Russia is physically, that’s how rancid and putrid even Russia’s sense of human values is.
I can tell you this, and I am sure many of you have already figured this out on your own: There is value put on human life in Russia. People don’t care. I had an acquaintance who was drunk on a train between Moscow and St. Petersburg, and the cops just opened the door while the train was moving at 150 miles an hour and let him go. No one ever paid for that crime, and when some of his friends tried to find out, they were threatened by the police to let it go.
Police and government officials regularly drive drunk and run pedestrians down, and the entire system protects them. The mother and her 12-year-old son, who were killed in 2021 as they crossed the crosswalk when it was green by a drunken policeman, were posthumously ticketed for jaywalking! Given the circumstances, the judge let their surviving family members off with a warning. No one sheds tears for this stuff because their senses are so dulled.
“Ah, what ya gonna do,” is the attitude. “Can’t cry for everybody, right?”
As for “divine values?” The head of the Russian Orthodox Church condones the genocide in Ukraine. Russia is also a country where religion was outlawed, so I sincerely doubt their piety. I know a lot of “religious” people in Russia who don’t eat or drink any of the “sinful” foods during Lent, and it’s one or two of them who actually have a genuine understanding of spirituality. Most of them are just as hateful and nasty as the Christian fascists in America.
In case you still doubt Russia’s skewed “universal human values,” let me remind you of the thousands of Ukrainian children who have been stolen from Ukraine and forcibly placed with Russian families. For this crime alone, everyone involved and everyone not caring deserves to be punished here on this Earth and beyond.
It is a holy war. I agree.
It's always a 'holy' war when the real reasons are greed and devaluing the 'other'. Though that's been true throughout history, only the Russians, Chinese, a couple of remaining tinpot dictators, and Republican party practice it today.
Hi Mr. Kean,
I really enjoy reading your posts. They are well-written, interesting, and informative.
Can you please correct the typo in the following sentence in today's post:
"These great spiritual leaders have tortured countless innocent non-combatants, and when not terrorizing them, they are loading up their thanks with stolen washers, TVs, and microwaves."
"thanks" should read "tanks".
Sincerely,
Nick in Alberta
