So, Matthew, according to you, is NATO worse than North Korea? NATO is basically America and Europe along with Canada. NATO nations are far from perfect, but NORTH KOREA is North Korea, an atheist commie dictatorship that persecutes Christians and is consistently ranked near the bottom on any measure of progress, freedom, human development etc. If Putin is this "great Christian hero" some trads believe him to be, why isn't he at least asking North Korea to stop persecuting Christians?

And Ukraine's other failings doesn't mean a war invading it and occupying about 20% of its territory satisfies the strict conditions for Just war. Ukraine is conscripting its own citizens. Putin is conscripting North Korean communists. Our Lady told us to fight Communism, and pray for Russia's conversion. Pope Pius XI said "no one who would save Christian civilization may collaborate with Communism in any undertaking whatsoever". Putin should take note, as that's what he's doing. There have been some positive changes in Russia since the USSR fell, but it hasn't completely converted yet, as Our Lady of Fatima said it would have to for there to be peace. Let's pray for peace whatever our view on the war. Here's another source on the human suffering the war has caused.

Wiki: "As of 2024, Russian troops occupy about 20% of Ukraine. From a population of 41 million, about 8 million Ukrainians had been internally displaced and more than 8.2 million had fled the country by April 2023, creating Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II." Causing 10+ million people to suffer displacement, not to mention the lives of soldiers and civilians lost on both side, hardly satisfies the strict just war criteria.

The word 'communist' is a distraction. Humanity is not divided the two camps, communist and capitalist, but into two camps, globalist and patriot and these two camps cut through nations and even families. North Korea is a dictatorship but not a globalist one. Saudi Arabia is a dictatorship but that's OK for the globalists and isn't therefore considered a bad guy. Korea also, along with Syria and Iran, doesn't have a Rothshild central back, which makes it even more independent than Russia, whose economy is mostly in the hands of the (((mafia))). 

Incidently in 2015 Korea banned abortion and contraception in order to improve their disastrous birth rate which stands at 1.78 per woman compared to 0.72 in South Korea, the worst in the world. 

Communism is highly relevant imo. Karl Marx, the founder of Communism, was a Jєωιѕн atheist. Communism was a key part of how the ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan warred against the Church of Christ in these last 2 centuries, Darwinism being another key part of it. Judaism despaired of success in converting Christians to Judaism. Therefore, they preferred to try and convert Christians to atheism, to weaken Christendom from within in the West, and setting up Communism as an external bulwark in the East, which they hoped would counter-balance Christendom. To some extent, their plans have succeeded. Yet, on another level, they are failing, because millions of those whom +Vigano calls "children of light" are waking up every day. The madness of believing a man could become a woman began with believing a monkey could become a man. I would say the tide has almost decisively turned against the woke trans agenda, and definitely will even moreso in the next 10 years. Whether it will turn against Darwinism too, I don't know. I hope so. SSPX has an old article out there showing Communists promoted evolution in their cσncєnтrαтισn cαмρs - it wasn't about this and that economic theory, however misguided, fundamentally it was about making man deny and if possible hate God (one of the greatest of all sins), believing their monkeys were their gods instead. 

Let's see how the situation with North Korea develops: “They are too young and won’t understand exactly what it means. They’ll just consider it an honor to be selected as the ones to go to Russia among the many North Korean soldiers,” said Lee Woong-gil, a former member of the same special forces unit, the Storm Corps. He came to South Korea in 2007. “But I think most of them won’t likely come back home alive.” https://apnews.com/article/north-korea-soldiers-russia-ukraine-war-651ac7615c3124fde657043a9193d6b1#
