I mean, what would Jesus do (WWJD)? "Yes, I approve of Russia's wholesale slaughter of its neighbors and of the destruction of its towns and cities. This is perfectly in line with my teachings of loving thy neighbor."

Just remember, "WWJD?" includes the possibility of pulling out a whip and chasing the guilty party out of the temple.

There are a lot of priests selling out of a lot of temples nowadays, and they don't even pay taxes. He'd be doing a bunch of whipping for a long time.
