Doug Baldwin calls out ‘Christians’ who say they support Putin

Seahawks great Doug Baldwin hit the nail on the head.

Some days it’s difficult to focus on football. While we keep it as light as possible here at Seahawks Wire, the last several days have been harrowing for anyone following current events.

The short version: Russian president Vladimir Putin has invaded Ukraine in an unprovoked act of aggression – putting all of Europe at risk for a new world war. So far the Ukrainian people and their President have responded with an incredibly courageous resistance despite being overwhelmed by a far superior military force. Picking sides here should be easy for anyone with a moral compass – especially those who profess to call themselves Christians.

Seahawks great Doug Baldwin hit the nail on the head in a late-night tweet, calling out Christians who support what Putin is doing in Ukraine.

Baldwin may be just speaking in general terms, but it’s possible he’s referring to one specific individual.

Former Republican Delaware Senatorial candidate Lauren Witzke has made the news in recent days for saying she identifies with Putin’s “Christian values” more than President Joe Biden.

History is complicated but we don’t need to both-sides every piece of it. In this case Baldwin is right and Witzke is wrong. Period.
