A lot of people were criticizing the bishop of Alaska for meeting with who. So I posted this on Facebook and I thought it would be good to post the full thing here. And then I'll post my thoughts on the episode soon

Archbishop Alexei of Alaska is a holy man whose life bridges the spiritual treasures of Mount Athos and the missionary heritage of Alaska. In 1995, he left the United States for Athos, where he lived at Karakallou Monastery, immersing himself in the ascetic life and spiritual wisdom of the Holy Mountain. In 2018, Metropolitan Tikhon personally requested that he return to the United States to be elevated to the episcopate, recognizing his spiritual maturity and calling. Since then, Archbishop Alexei has faithfully led the Orthodox mission in Alaska, carrying the fragrance of Athonite holiness into the far north and guiding the faithful with humility and zeal. He has also been instrumental in helping bring forth the glorification of Saint Olga of Alaska, honoring her as a model of sanctity for the native peoples and all Orthodox Christians. Truly, Archbishop Alexei follows in the footsteps of holy elders like Elder Ephraim, combining Athonite spiritual depth with the missionary vision of the saints who planted Orthodoxy in Alaska.

This episode is really great guys. I like that we talked a lot about the peace summit. With Putin and Trump. Honestly the summit is only a good look for Putin. He looked very cool very fly. Very professional. He also mocked the journalist. That kept yelling at him and asking him questions. Still speaking as if you know Biden is the president. All Putin's a war criminal how could you do all these things. Even those zielinski is the real war criminal. But I honestly think this was a giant win for Putin It brought him back. I think now he's finally going to be treated with the respect that the leader of the Russian federation deserves. I hope that people stop treating him like the war criminal they have been for the last 4 years. And I am super happy that he met with the bishop of Alaska. As I said in my last comment the bishop of Alaska was friends with elderly friend and actually lived at his monastery for 20 plus years. So for him to be the bishop of the historic Holy Land of America. It was good to see that Putin came gave a few icons talked to him and I don't really have a problem with Putin not getting the blessing. I think Putin might believe that he can only get a blessing from his spiritual father. And stuff like that. Putin isn't as categized as we would like him to be. But I think it was cool that he met with the bishop. I don't think it's cool that people are criticizing the bishop for meeting with him because he is a world leader of a country that used to own Alaska. And he is a Orthodox Christian with good standing in the entire idea of the Orthodox Church I don't even think he's been excommunicated by any church. Let alone his own Russian church. Which the Bishop of Alaska is technically named as a Russian bishop even though he is a OCA bishop. His dice is has the name Russian Orthodox in the name. So I think anybody who has criticisms of the bishop should shut their mouth. Because they aren't as holi as he is. And don't understand the situation. I pray that more happened than just you know the giving of the icons and the exchanging of words. I would like if Putin you know maybe went to a vespers or something while the bishop was there but if that happened I think we would have footage of it. But for right now that's just a hope. But yeah this summit was a giant win for Vladimir. And I'm happy about it.

Don't really have a lot to say on Israel Lebanon and Iran.

The thing about the liberals is they've always been correct about the Israel Gaza situation. Which is why I'm kind of grateful for these liberal democrats in Europe because they're going to recognize Palestine. And no right-wing figure will. I think that's because the Jews realized after October 7th that the liberals do not care for them. So they had to start using their right wing people. And now we're living in the Israeli right wing occupied governance.

I really hate how everybody is comparing Israel to Nazis. Come on guys we all know they're worse. I think demetri said on Twitter one time it's like we need to stop with the Nazi rhetoric. Cuz it's stupid.

Definitely need regime change in Armenia. Hopefully we can get a Orthodox president. And I mean actually Orthodox not the Oriental schismatic heretic. An actual Eastern Orthodox guy.

The Serbian situation is always a hard one to see because Serbia since the '90s has not had an easy. But we should always pray for Serbia that they get an actual Orthodox person in an actual right-wing nationalist. Not some cock who doesn't know his boyfriend from his husband.

Metropolitan Longin is a saint. A living confessor for the faith. If he lives long enough to see the next Czar. I know the czar will kiss his wounds. Like Constantine the Great.

The holy mother who is interviewed by Uncle Carlson. The backlash of that event. I wish I had a Twitter. Cuz I would have been going hard. But I did my fair share of going hard especially with these demonic so-called Orthodox people like AP. I was emailing his priest. Sending screenshot after screenshot. Telling him to do something. But of course nothing came of it. But I think we only have one more rage out before AP is no longer even in the catacombinant. So that'll be a great day when we get it demonic figure like him out. But honestly the interview was amazing. I think the people hating on her just are demons and that's all I have to say. May Christ have mercy upon

It always astonished me how much the Jews hate Christians. They hate us more than they love money. If they were to just allow the Jerusalem patriarch get to do its thing they would get so much money it would be stupid. Because of how many people would come to the Holy Land just to participate in these services. You would have hundreds of people coming in through Jerusalem airlines or whatever the hell it's called. People would be buying things in all different things. Just to come and see a holy miracle. But you know their hatred of us eclipses their love of money which is funny in my opinion.
