A prankster with zionist and islamophobic persuasions pretending to "pontificate" on Christian theology... Can it get any more comical?
Of course Christians condone war, given legitimate circumstances. Major Christian theologians such as St. Augustine and especially St. Thomas Aquinas are famous for their theories of just
war. But we all know that.

JUST-WAR THEORY
The classic Just-War Theory has its origins in Christian theology. Saint Augustine is usually indentified as the first individual to offer a theory on war and justice. The Saint referred to the Bible and regarded some wars as necessary to amend an evil. Saint Thomas Aquinas revised Augustine's version, creating three criteria for a just war: the war needed to be waged by a legitimate authority, have a just cause, and have the right intentions. The moral justifcations for a war are expressed in jus ad bellum; whereas, the moral conduct of the war is expressed in jus in bello. The Just-War Theory is a set of rules for military combat.
More blatant misinformation.
1) They're not "baptizing" but blessing weapons.
2) National-Socialist Germany was not the only place where weapons blessings by clerics used to take place.

1) There's no guarantee of this not being fake and of the translation being fully accurate.
2) "To erase a nation from the face of the Earth" does not necessarily imply genocide. The noun nation can abstractly refer to a nation-state in the legal sense. If annexed by another state, for instance, a nation will cease to exist even if none of its inhabitants are killed.
In other terms, CIA-concocted stories about Russia being portrayed as "truth" by NATO mouthpieces, are to be rejected.
It's the narrative of western sources themselves:
Revisiting our secret role in Ukraine’s 2004 Orange Revolution
Yves Engler / March 17, 2022 / 8 min read
In the last two decades Ottawa has ploughed sizable resources into anti-Russian, nationalist elements of Ukrainian civil society
Ottawa’s primary objective in Ukraine has long been to promote neoliberalism and support Washington’s bid to create conflict between Ukraine and its powerful neighbour. While Canadians should sympathize with Ukrainians who reject Russian influence, and condemn Putin’s criminal invasion, we also...

A sovereign nation whose head of state is determined as a result of outside intervention isn't exactly sovereign.
The moment a CIA-orchestrated "color revolution" installs rabidly anti-Russian elements at the helm of Ukraine, it becomes Russia's business.
Kiev previously breaking the ceasefire stipulated for by the Minsk agreements represents a violation of international law.
The so-called "Maidan" movement was, and it made impeachment possible in the first place.
The signature and ratification process of the Association Agreement came to a standstill because the EU conditioned it upon a revision of verdicts passed by Ukrainian courts in past affairs not related to the agreement.
This pretty much warrants a change of mind on the part of any rational head of state mindful of their country's sovereignty and independence.
Peanuts compared to the terror brought upon citizens by the post-Maidan regime. A regime that practices censorship, that has de facto legalized torture and more.
No serious person will seek out random, V- or Z-shaped symbols in use by National-Socialist Germany and try to peddle the fairy tale that the V and Z letters painted on Russian weaponry today are meant as a reference to those National-Socialist ones.
Many other letters were featured on Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS badges such as for instance F, S, P, G, W, N, TS, FP, GU and more. Does that mean any other army on whose insignia one or more of these letters appear, belongs to a state which follows National-Socialist ideology? Totally preposterous, below kindergarten-level allegation.
Here's the actual meaning of the Z and V symbols seen on Russian military equipment:

As for the coat of arms of the Russian Federation, it is "Putin's" idea at all but a symbol whose origins reach back as far as the Middle Ages, since variants of it have been utilized since the reign of Ivan III (1462-1505). It has antecedents older than the Byzantine Empire.

Moreover, the double-headed eagle has nothing much to do with National-Socialism - and never was a prominent nor a widespread symbol in Nazi Germany. Earliest examples found belong to Bronze Age Illiria and Greece, followed by ancient Hittites of Anatolia. Subsequent users include the Roman Empire, Islamic Spain, medieval France, the Serbian principalty of Raška, the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum, the Mamluk Sultanate, the Holy Roman Empire, Serbia, Albanian noble families.

In short, the choice of the double-headed eagle by contemporary Russia does not even remotely hint at any ideological connection whatsoever to Nazi Germany. While regular commemoration by Russia of the USSR's victory of Germany in fact demonstrates the opposite.
