Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, Herod, the Caesars, the Czars, and more were allowed, however they were not placed by God. Read da little more closely.
The leaders put in place by God where His High Priests of old and the kings, once anointed. Thank you for your thinking but to say our Father has put Hitler or any in place is like saying He tolerates the devil being in charge of the world. He is allowing all , even the devil but not appointing nor supporting
Just as He does not support the behavior of mankind when not a when not acknowledging Him, allowing mankind to do all the evil He knew they would do until the last Trump.

My father, in WW2, chose to help in the medical corp of the war but not to fight and kill. As the Body of Christ we are NOT part of Israel or the nations. They have a different purpose than us - earthly. We have a heavenly one. We do not belong to any nation but are pilgrims passing through. nations will continue to fight wars till the Lord comes and judges them.
All nations are self serving and not of God`s righteous ways.
The World System.
Christ does not battle with guns and tanks as man does, but reveals His righteous rulership through a body of believers who will stand against the enemy and his deceptions.
`For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places.` (Eph. 6: 12)
Principalities, Powers, rulers of the darkness and spiritual wickedness, are all in array against the Body of Christ. They operate through this present darkness of man separated from God and through the system man has formed in the world to promote man`s selfish desires and ambitions.
`This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing will be there.` (James 3: 15 & 15)
This World System is dominated by the prevalence of sin with its own methods, manners, customs, fashions and laws.
This System operates apart from God and offers position, possession and power, (authority) to those who serve its interests.
Thus mankind in rebellion against God and controlled by demonic influences, are in darkness. This is a darkness of their minds which is self - seeking and foolish.
`...although they (man) knew God they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.` (Rom. 1: 21)

Jesus said to His Father "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." meaning that you can ask God to change the world for you, but be prepared to accept it if His answer is "No, today you'll be tortured and die for the sins of the world"
In like manner, if there's war then there's war. Sure we can pray for anything and God can say no to anything. Do we have the courage to accept God's will?

I’m not saying God wants this or that at all , I was just expressing my own disgust with this current administrations weakness and in action .
piton was building up forces around tbier border since last April we could have put Missile defences , bolstered tbier Air Force , supplied them with javelins and stingers over the last year so they could fight and have some defense for the bombardment
but mainly if we would have taken a harder line Vladimir Putin would not have done this . He only moves and gets brave when he knows it’s against a esker nation Like a bully
Right now he makes threats and we jimo
How ever high he says to . We I don’t think anyone sensible wants war but the east knows this and so they have built up war machines to force their will not in Ukraine but on the world.
China , Russia , Iran , North Korea , to name a few are now gathering together and they are all military force minded nations . That’s how they will make thier point through military force.
we on the other hand have no spine or Will in the west and they are exploiting that . Bullies are emboldened when they see a weak and feckless opponent . War is either coming or the world will begin to come under chinas leadership .
it seems to me like we are looking at the same conflict between communism and democracy beginning that led to the world wars . But what God Wills no that’s not been my words at all just speaking as an embarrassed and disheartened American who remembers when we have guts and cared about defending freedom and the weak against those who actually hate us more than any country On earth
Gods Will will. BRing the world to a violent end at some point and he will bring forth the new things of peace later . I was just expressing my own thoughts about your post I’ve been thinking a lot about it myself
China and Russia are rising up we on the other hand are bowing down. Not a good formula for free nations

Why not let Russia have the USA? Let Americans decide (in a corrupted voting, as it was in Ukraine before) whether they want to become a part of Russian Empire or not and then you'll have over 70% votes for claiming the USA a part of Russia. The cruel regime in Russia doesn't change - it's built upon an old lie saying "The Others are after our houses! We need to fight back!" -even though it's not true. BUT IT WORKS! Russians live their lives side by side with propaganda telling them that:
-It's not a war in Ukraine - it's special operation of denazification (probably that's why they bomb kindergardens and hospitals)
-Ukraine PRAISES Russians for coming
Your attitude is despicable considering how much Ukrainians fight for their freedom from Russia.

You don't care about Ukraine. You never cared about Ukraine. Suddenly you care because CNN told you that you need to be caring.
Ukraine is a random eastern European country that Russia has strategic interest in. It'll never belong to the USA or its allies; Ukraine is not even a part of NATO. As always, the USA is busy poking their nose in the middle of conflicts they don't belong in.
However, the Biden administration is viewed as weaklings to the other powerful militaries of the world. So now is the time to act in opportunistic land-grabs. When Russia succeeds, everyone else who opposes globalists and their sockpuppets in the White House will succeed too.

It's easy to say I do not care not knowing I'm not American but Polish. And I do have a lot of opportunities to help these people, too. Mostly by making food packages. Mind it before you misjudge me another time.
Of course it won't belong to the USA but why should we accept slaving Ukrainians just because they're close to Russia? Edmund Burke said: 'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. ' and I couldn't agree more. I'm not going to do nothing about it.
You see it as a zero-one situation where Russia's the good guy because it opposes western globalists whereas it is deeply lied-to country with a lot of poor people being told they're living they dreamlife. If there's something to hate in Russia it is its deceitful way of showing you its people their own country and the big bad West.
By the way, I believe that the USA is falling down because of declining Christianity so I'm not FOR the West's corruption, I'm AGAINST it.

Anyone can be anyone on the Internet. Suddenly you're a new member here talking about defending Ukraine when it's a hot topic. Coincidence? I highly doubt it. Prior to this I doubt you were much of an activist.
The enemy of our enemy is potentially a friend, at least until they've served their purpose and are no longer useful. If Biden and Soros say that Russia must be stopped then the automatic instinct of all thinking people is "Oppose Biden and Soros" because if anyone is leading people to hell (literally or figuratively) I guess it's those two.
By process of elimination, it's easy to see that the only remaining options are to either support Russia or don't try to meddle in their affairs.
I say stay out of their business and that should be the easiest response for everyone since that's what everyone was doing before anyway: not caring.
