‘Before Ukraine, Georgia Was The Trial Run At A Globalist Proxy War’

 

You’ve got to hand it to the globalists:  They are dedicated ideologues who never lose sight of their goals nor tire in their pursuit of them.  Most folks probably don’t realize it, but their effort to humiliate and subjugate Russia is one of those goals.

Many analysts looking at the current Russia-Ukraine war fail to look into the history underlying it.  They do not look back any further than the day the war appeared to begin in 2022, which leads to a distorted view of it.  To gain a proper view, we must look back beyond 2022.

The globalists in the West view Russia like they do every other country and people:  as a collection of resources (both human and otherwise) to be dominated and exploited.  Their conquest of a country can involve a number of tactics.  One of them is the poisoning of relations between Western countries and the targeted country.

We have seen this utilized many times over as it regards Russia.  One of the most glaring is the now infamous Russia hoax, in which the globalists claimed that the Russian government interfered with the 2016 United States presidential election.  The fallout from that continues, as yet another Deep State CIA actor has recently been fired for her part in the hoax.

But that was hardly the final try at creating enmity between the two countries.  The Leftist media were aghast that President Trump would meet with President Putin in Alaska to try to broker peace in the Ukraine.  Putin should have been persona non grata, in their view.  This, despite the fact that US and Russian leaders never stopped talking to each other during the Cold War, during which the leaders of the Soviet Union were godless communists.  How much more should the leaders of the two countries be in communication today, now that Russia has rejected communism and her government leaders are openly Christian?

An extension of that Leftist reporting bias was also seen in President Putin’s meeting with the Orthodox Archbishop of Alaska, Alexei.  Abp Alexei faced harsh denunciations for the friendly meeting, seeing it as giving tacit approval for Russia’s actions in the Ukraine.  But the meeting wasn’t meant to be political; it was much more about the spiritual ties between Russia and Alaska, which was once a part of Russia.  Michael Davis had a good write-up about the unfairness of the denunciations of Abp Alexei:

‘On August 15, 2025, among the snowy peaks of Anchorage, Alaska, a moment of profound spiritual significance unfolded as Russian president Vladimir Putin met with Archbishop Alexei of Sitka and Alaska.  . . .

‘The meeting occurred on the Feast of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos, one of the most important feast-days in the Orthodox Church. Abp. Alexei, who had just led a three-day prayer initiative for peace in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, welcomed Pres. Putin in Anchorage, where he was attending a summit with U.S. president Donald Trump. The setting was St. Innocent Cathedral, a spiritual beacon tracing its roots to Russian missionaries who planted Orthodoxy in Alaska centuries ago. The exchange, described by an Alaskan Orthodox priest as “spontaneous yet warm,” was marked by a mutual gift-giving that carried deep symbolic resonance.

‘ . . . For an American Orthodox bishop to engage with an Orthodox head of state, even one as polarizing as Putin, is a recognition of the Church’s universal mission to bear witness to Christ in all nations. The Orthodox Church in America, with its 80 Alaskan parishes, stands as a living bridge between East and West, and Abp. Alexei’s willingness to meet Putin reflects the Church’s call to be a peacemaker, not a partisan. The meeting’s focus on spiritual unity, not political endorsement, aligns with the Orthodox Ethos, which seeks to heal wounds rather than sow division.

‘The exchange of icons was the heart of the event. The St. Herman icon gifted by Putin, now housed at St. Michael’s Cathedral in Sitka, is expected to draw pilgrims, reinforcing Alaska’s role as a spiritual hub. Alexei’s gift of the Athos-painted icon, prayed over for years, was a profound act of reciprocity, honoring the Alaskan faithful’s Russian roots while affirming their independence.

‘While no ceasefire emerged from the Trump-Putin summit, Abp. Alexei’s meeting with Pres. Putin was a spiritual triumph. As Alaskan Orthodox continue their prayers for peace, the St. Herman icon stands as a symbol of hope, urging reconciliation in a fractured world. For the faithful, this meeting reminds us that while kings may wield power, their hearts remain in the Lord’s hands—a truth that sustains our hope for peace, however distant it may seem.

‘Of course, the meeting was not without its critics. In a letter responding to this detraction, Abp. Alexei wrote (in part):

‘ “When I expressed gratitude in that public moment, it was not praise for present politics, but a remembrance of the missionaries of earlier generations—Saint Herman, Saint Innocent, Saint Yakov, and others—who brought us the Orthodox faith at great cost. Their sacrifice is our inheritance, and for that spiritual gift we must always give thanks.

‘ “As for the icons exchanged, some have condemned me for that, but I must be clear: the veneration we give to holy icons is directed not to the one who gives them, but to the saint or feast they represent. I cannot apologize for kissing an icon of Saint Herman or of the Dormition of the Mother of God. Even if the greatest sinner were beside me, the honor passes not to him but to heaven itself.

‘ “I know that sacred gestures can be misunderstood, and I grieve if this has caused confusion or scandal. But our vocation in such moments is not to join the anger of the world, but to keep the lamp of Christ burning, to obey His commandments to pray even for enemies, and to open whatever small door may be given for a pastoral word of peace.”

‘Amen. May God continue to bless peacemakers such as Abp. Alexei’ (‘Icon of Peace: The Meeting of Abp. Alexei and Vladimir Putin,’ uoj.news).

The globalists want Westerners to think that anyone who says a kind word about Russia or her leaders is a ‘Russian stooge’ or a ‘Putin lackey’, to keep the decades-long bitterness of the Cold War running so they can launch attack after attack on Russia until they have subjugated her to their power.  Those ‘stooges’ would necessarily include gentle, meek Christ-lovers like Abp Alexei, the Eskimo grannies in Alaska who are part of his flock, and Orthodox parishioners belonging to the Patriarchate of Moscow anywhere in the West.  It may sound absurd, but that is what is being promoted, as a story in French media makes abundantly clear.

It is worth pointing out in this respect that traditionalist Russians are some of the biggest supporters of the MAGA movement in the US, seeing it as a force that could dramatically weaken the globalists who threaten normative, Christian cultures all over the world.

The end goal of all the propaganda of the globalists against their enemies, as we said up above, is usually to start a big, blazing war that would see globalist puppets placed in power of the recalcitrant countries.  The globalists tried this with Russia in 2008, using the neighboring country of Georgia as the proxy of choice:
