Then he drowns almost all of humanity with water - millions of people die, and only eight people are saved. Then, on the contrary, on the cross prays for the executioners?

  It may be noted that the God of the Old Testament is very cruel, but in the New Testament Christ is extremely kind. And there is a glaring contradiction here. Indeed, if Jesus were God the Son, he would have to burn Sodom and Gomorrah. But there were adults, and children, and women. Isn't that cruel?

  Yes, and many other examples of cruelty can be listed for a very long time. One murder of children by Elisha is worth something.

  So think about what people believe. And the government also imposes religion. And now they are fighting with the religious fanatics of the Taliban.

  But they warned - do not rejoice at the fact that the United States is leaving Afghanistan - it will only be worse for Russia.

  The Taliban, having rested a little and taking advantage of the fact that Russia's hands are tied by the war with Ukraine, took and struck a blow. And then it was predicted to many. And Russia had to subscribe. And, of course, against their will - too many Russian soldiers died at the base in Tajikistan. So Vladimir Putin found himself embroiled in yet another war. And the mood, of course, in society has become much more hostile to the incumbent president. The love of the people is very changeable. And the Taliban, of course, calculated everything correctly. Moreover, the United States is satisfied in this case - they pitted their enemies. And they began to talk about Biden: a wise old man. Like, how cleverly arranged everything.

  In fact, age and sport, and wisdom is not a hindrance!

  Elizabeth shoots again, and again, of course, with her bare toes. It is quite warm in the tank even in winter. And in summer it is really hot in Tajikistan.

  The girl took it and sang:

  - If long, long, long,

  Fight against the Taliban...

  If it's long, long, long

  Run downhill in battle!

  It's possible, it's possible

  Of course, that's right, that's right...

  Even though sometimes it's like

  You can catch up with Africa!

  And in Africa, prices are so high,

  And in Africa, the money is so wide!

  Hippos lost weight

  Sperm whales shriveled up...

  And the people are like a parrot,

  Go straight to heaven!

  Ekaterina noted with a smirk, pressing the button of the tank's joystick with her scarlet nipple:

  - Something little in you optimism!

  Elizabeth angrily replied:

  - If the president is a moral cripple and a rogue, then what joy can his subjects have!

  Elena nodded.

  - Yes! They say dashing trouble is the beginning! But it was precisely the excessive luck that made Putin overly self-confident!

  Elizabeth nodded her blue-tinted head.

  - Yes, I always thought that it was impossible to give so much luck to one person - he sits on a white horse, in the sense he begins to believe that the sea is knee-deep to him. And then, like an old woman who wanted to become God, she ends up with nothing!

  Catherine agreed with this:

  - Yes! Putin had too much luck, and this spoiled him. As fortune loved in its time - Napoleon, Hitler, Ivan the Terrible, and then turned away from them.

  Efrosinya remarked:

  - Nicholas II was a very unlucky, but at the same time a kind and decent tsar. For example, do you think he would be lucky at least a little bit in the war with Japan. For example, did Admiral Makarov die, and everything could have been different. And Admiral Makarov died due to a series of unlikely coincidences. For some reason, he did not order mine-sweeping by destroyers, and none of his subordinates gave such an order. And the mine, most likely, was Russian, and a large battleship should not have sunk from one mine. And even in this case, Admiral Makarov could have been saved, as, for example, Kirill Romanov was saved.

  Elizabeth agreed:

  - Yes, a little luck to Nicholas II could give Russia much more than a lot of luck to mediocre Vladimir Putin! For example, Admiral Makarov could defeat the Japanese at sea with little bloodshed, and then the war with the samurai would not have been worth much sacrifice. And if Tsarist Russia had won the war with Japan, then the First World War, most likely, would not have happened. So the authority of the army of the empire would be too high and the Germans would not dare to declare war!

  Elena nodded.

  - Maybe! Although Makarov alone does not exhaust the number of failures and bad luck in the war with Japan. Although it must be admitted that the enemy was strong. But on the other hand, if the battleship Oslyabi had not sunk so quickly, even during the battle of Tsushima, the squadron could have completely broken through to Vladivostok! And so the war with Japan turned out to be so unsuccessful!

  Efrosinya remarked:

  - But the war in the forty-fifth year with Japan was surprisingly easy and successful. As if Japan ran out of luck. However, alas, Stalin's victory led to the communists taking power over China, and the emergence of a very strong and dangerous empire, which almost attacked the USSR under Brezhnev. Even now, China is only pretending to be a friend. And he wants to chop off our land to the Urals.
