‘U.S Is Not Your Piggy Bank…’ U.S Lashes Out At Ukraine | Zelensky To Flee Ukraine Amid Tensions? [Video]

‘U.S Is Not Your Piggy Bank…’ U.S Lashes Out At Ukraine | Zelensky To Flee Ukraine Amid Tensions?

In a fiery declaration, U.S. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has vowed to block all future weapons funding for Ukraine over what she calls the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Citing President Zelensky’s crackdown on the nation’s largest Christian denomination, Luna, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, accused Ukraine of violating religious freedoms and warned that the U.S. is "not your piggy bank." Her post comes amid growing criticism in the U.S. of how billions in aid to Ukraine are being used, especially under Trump’s renewed “America First” policy. The issue has gained little attention in U.S. politics, but high-profile voices like Tucker Carlson have echoed similar concerns. The controversy deepens as Zelensky strips top clergy of citizenship and pushes legislation targeting churches with links to Russia.

CHRISTIANITY IN CRISIS? Islam BOOMS Globally as Millions in the West ABANDON Church And Faith [Video]

CHRISTIANITY IN CRISIS? Islam BOOMS Globally as Millions in the West ABANDON Church And Faith

Between 2010 and 2020, the world’s population grew—and so did most major religious groups. Christianity remains the largest religion at 2.3 billion, but its global share fell to 28.8% as more people left the faith, especially in Western nations. Islam experienced the fastest growth, adding 347 million to reach 2 billion globally, fueled by high fertility rates and youthful populations. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated rose to 24.2%, driven by secular trends in countries like China, the U.S., and Japan. Demographic shifts suggest Islam could match Christianity by mid-century. #GlobalFaith #Christianity #Islam #ReligionTrends #ReligiousGrowth #FaithShift #ReligionReport #WorldDemographics #ChristianDecline #IslamRise #ReligiousChange #Unaffiliated #SecularTrends #SubSaharanAfrica #FertilityRates #YouthPopulation #ReligiousSwitching #WesternSecularism #ReligionStats #GlobalPopulation #ReligionIn2020 #Buddhism #Hinduism #Judaism #FaithStats #MidCenturyProjections #ReligionMatters #WorldReligionReport #ReligiousFuture #GlobalReligion #ReligiousLandscape Also Read Authorities Launch Probe into Allegations of Sikh Conversions to Christianity in Pilibhit :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/probe-into-allegations-of-sikh-conversions-in-pilibhit-011-4156455.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan: Religious Leader Shot Dead In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-religious-leader-shot-dead-in-khyber-pakhtunkhwa-4119325.html?ref=DMDesc Shahid Afridi Pressured Me To Convert To Islam: Pakistan's Ex-Cricketer Danish Kaneria :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/shahid-afridi-pressured-me-to-convert-to-islam-pakistans-ex-hindu-cricketer-danish-kaneria-4094081.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~
