It's hard to read about any country sliding back into a culture that promotes violence. Vladimir Putin is not helping the image of his country. No longer is it a crime to abuse women. Domestic Violence has been partially decriminalized. There are no guidelines for this. I guess as long as the woman is not in danger of dying, the police will look the other way. According to the link, "Women are told to be proud of their bruises. It means their husband loves them."One sick reason given for the abuse is that it will help women to give birth to boys.
The scary thing is what our President Donald Trump says about Vladimir Putin. He admires the man. I know God has said we must pray for our leaders. Been doing that since he slipped into office. Most afraid that God is letting him stay the way he is to teach us a lesson.
I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.
