Truly, I don’t understand how normally Deplorable Americans go gaga over Putin and his “cultural conservatism.” I couldn’t care less if Putin personally strangled OBL and then had RT ridicule Obama 24/7 from 2009-2016. That sombitch would become a girl if he thought it would keep him in power. Not buyin’ it.
It's all part of Russia's grand scheme to gain the West's trust. To gain respectability and even likeability. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, they undermine us and our allies at every turn. Their goal over the past several decades has been to basically bring back their lost (evil) empire. Obama-Biden-Hillary helped in that effort immensely. That is why they wanted Hillary Clinton to win. To continue the devastation that Obama started.
GOOD! the sicko and perversion can be left OUT!
The movie will make more money this way. A lot of people who wouldnt pay to be grossed out, might buy tickets now.
Truly, I dont understand how normally Deplorable Americans go gaga over Putin and his cultural conservatism.
Because our own leaders arent standing up for traditional values and Christianity. Putin is filling a big void. As for his alleged corruption, Im persuaded a lot of it is ginned up by Western media and politicians who hate Christianity and traditional values. If he endorsed the LBGTGT agenda, the media and our political leaders would start loving him

First of all, that "quote" wasn't from me, but rather DoodleBob, although I 100% agree with it.
Second, assuming you are legit, you don't know much if anything about the Russian Orthodox "Church".
Here's a little background on it...
From the Russian Orthodox Church's website...
12 February 2016
Rev. Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, general secretary of the World Council of Churches (WCC), has issued a statement on behalf of the Council hailing the historic meeting of Pope Francis, pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, and Patriarch Kirill, primate of the Russian Orthodox Church.
The two leaders met on 12 February in Havana, Cuba.
The Russian Orthodox Church is the largest member church in the WCC..."

Catch that? The Russian Orthodox Church is the largest member of the World Council of Churches! (WCC)
That is all you need to know to understand that it is a sham operation. Reverend Wrights fake church United Church of Christ (UCC) is also a member. In fact, his (communist) Liberation Theology was concocted by the KGB.
The Russians must laugh their butts off at how easily westerners can be tricked and deceived.
The Russian Orthodox Church is a member of the (communist) World Council of Churches:

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
Profile: LIBERATION THEOLOGY
...liberation theologys real creator was the Soviet Unions foreign intelligence and domestic security agency, the KGB.
Patriarch Kirill, who today heads Russian Orthodox Church, secretly worked for the KGB under the code name Mikhailov and spent some 40 years promoting liberation theology.
Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest-ranking Soviet-bloc official ever to defect to the West, writes: Liberation theology has been generally understood to be a marriage of Marxism and Christianity.
What has not been understood is that it was not the product of Christians who pursued Communism, but of Communists who pursued Christians....
Its genesis was part of a highly classified Party/State Disinformation Program, formally approved in 1960 by KGB chairman Aleksandr Shelepin and Politburo member Aleksei Kirichenko, then the second in the party hierarchy after Nikita Khrushchev.
Adds Pacepa: In 1971, the KGB sent Kirill who had just been elevated to the rank of archimandrite to Geneva as emissary of the Russian Orthodox Church to the World Council of Churches.... Kirill/Mikhailovs main task was to involve the WCC in spreading the new liberation theology throughout Latin America.
In 1975, the KGB was able to infiltrate Kirill into the Central Committee of the WCC a position he held until he was elected patriarch of Russia, in 2009.
Not long after he joined the Central Committee, Kirill reported to the KGB: Now the agenda of the WCC [World Council of Churches] is also our agenda.

Its an odd project considering that freedom of religion exists almost exclusively on paper in the closed communist country.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il is supposed to be a communist atheist.
So why has he made promoting the Russia Orthodox Church his latest pet project?
On August 13, the countrys first Orthodox church is to be opened in the capital city of Pyongyang.
Russian Metropolitan Bishop Kyrill, second in command within the Church after the Patriarch, will travel to Pyongyang to christen the new house of worship. ...

In a controversial interview, Pope Francis has publicly defended Liberation Theology, calling it a positive thing in Latin America.
In his lengthy interview last week with the leftist Spanish daily El País, the Pope said that Liberation Theology was a good thing for Latin America, but also recognized that it had deviations that needed to be corrected.
The part of Liberation Theology that opted for a Marxist analysis of reality was condemned by the Vatican, Francis said.
Cardinal Ratzinger issued two instructions when he was Prefect of the Doctrine of the Faith, he continued. One very clear one about the Marxist analysis of reality, and the second picked up positive aspects.
Liberation Theology had positive aspects and also had deviations, especially in the part of the Marxist analysis of reality, he said.
The two Vatican documents cited by the pontiff were Libertatis Nuntius, issued in 1984, and Libertatis Conscientia, released just two years later, in 1986.
Libertatis Nuntius addressed developments of that current of thought which, under the name theology of liberation, proposes a novel interpretation of both the content of faith and of Christian existence which seriously departs from the faith of the Church and, in fact, actually constitutes a practical negation.
Concepts uncritically borrowed from Marxist ideology and recourse to theses of a biblical hermeneutic marked by rationalism are at the basis of the new interpretation which is corrupting whatever was authentic in the generous initial commitment on behalf of the poor, the instruction continues.
The document also noted that in certain parts of Latin America, the recognition of injustice is accompanied by a pathos which borrows its language from Marxism, wrongly presented as though it were scientific language.
The letter also said that certain Christians, despairing of every other method, turned to a Marxist analysis, especially in Latin America.
The 1986 text was issued as a complement to the first one, and sought to highlight the main elements of the Christian doctrine on freedom and liberation as a corrective to the errors of Liberation Theology brought out by the prior instruction.
In a striking revelation in 2015, the highest ranking Cold War defector asserted that the KGB had created Liberation Theology, exporting it to Latin America as a means of introducing Marxism into the continent.
Ion Mihai Pacepa, a 3-star general and former head of Communist Romanias secret police who defected to the United States in 1978, has been called the Cold Wars most important defector. During the more than ten years that Pacepa worked with the CIA, he made what the agency described as an important and unique contribution to the United States.
He is reported in fact to have given the CIA the best intelligence ever obtained on communist intelligence networks and internal security services.
Liberation theology has been generally understood to be a marriage of Marxism and Christianity. What has not been understood is that it was not the product of Christians who pursued Communism, but of Communists who pursued Christians, Pacepa said.
In his role as doctrinal watchdog, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger referred to Liberation Theology as a singular heresy and a fundamental threat to the Church.

BERLIN (ChurchMilitant.com) - The main figurehead of liberation theology in the 1980s is praising Pope Francis, and criticizing the signatories of the recently sent dubia.
Leonardo Boff, a main proponent for liberation theology in Brazil throughout his life, gave an interview to the German newspaper Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger in Berlin, which was published on Christmas.
Boff entered the Franciscan order in 1959 and was ordained a Catholic priest in 1964, where he became a controversial figure with his prominent advocacy of left-wing causes. During his priesthood, he became a vocal critic of capitalism and a strong proponent of liberation theology.
Liberation theology is a religious movement that offers a Marxist understanding of poverty and oppression, and which had its start in South America in the 1960s. One KGB defector who later converted to Catholicism claimed it was a movement created by the KGB and spread by willing South American bishops. ...

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama's pastor in a heated interview about his Church's teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...
Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.
The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.
Why the picture of Obama? If the Russians helped anybodys election, it was Trumps. Which is fine by me, I say thank you, Vlad
Interesting. Bkmrk.
Lol! You're obviously another deranged Putin butt kisser. But check out my FR Home page anyway. You may be surprised at just how deep the Democrat-Russia collusion was, and (likely) is still.
One would have to be beyond stupid to actually think that the Russians would have wanted a strong-on-defense team like Trump-Pence over a pathetically weak, even treasonous, Hillary Clinton one, especially now as they are in the process of basically restoring their evil empire.
Obama-Biden-Hillary, as anyone who has even paid the slightest attention to such things knows, bent over backwards to appease Putin in such vitally important areas of missile defense, the New Start nuke treaty, the Iran nuke deal, Uranium-One deal, on and on. This, as they practically dismantled OUR (the United States') military. So OF COURSE the Russians wanted Hillary over Trump-Pence. There couldn't possibly be an easier no-brainier than this one.
IOW, they had to cut right after the title through to the ending credits?
Here's a little something that better ties Obama's phony church to this KGB-concocted religious movement. Again, Wright's Black Liberation Theology "church" is a member of the communist World Council of Churches (WCC). The Russian Orthodox Church, as it states above, is the largest member of the notorious WCC.

Sorry, Hillarys rhetoric was anti-Russia like yours. While she called Putin Hitler, Trump said nice things and that we should get along, and fight the Islamisists isnt together. The only leader whos been friendlier to Putin is Bibi, who visits him every other month.
I wonder if their cut version is in English - might be fun to watch.
Every hear the expression "Action speaks louder than words"? Talk is just that, talk.
I'm not sure if you're just playing stupid.
very hear the expression “Action speaks louder than words”? Talk is just that, talk
Fortunately, Hillary didnt get the chance to act on her talk. Trump in contrast, though, rejected her call for a no fly zone in Syria, so we avoided the war with Russia that she was pushing. Maybe that makes you sad, but like Hillary you just have to live with it
You are a major league jackass.
Former Senator Al DAmato (R-NY) dropped a bomb on Sunday Morning Futures this AM. DAmato told Maria Bartiromo that Hillary allowed Russia to take ownership of US uranium so they could sell it to Iran.
Hillary made it possible for the Russians to take control of one of our huge uranium producers and allow them to own the company, export the uranium and who do they sell the uranium to? Iran!
Now if people knew that and that the foundation as a result of that got $135 million. I think people would start saying, What?
Its true.
In January 2013, Pravda celebrated the Russian atomic energy agencys purchase of the company Uranium One in Canada.
That same company, Uranium One, owned uranium concessions in the United States. Because uranium is a strategically important commodity, the Russians would need approval from the Obama administration, including Hillarys State Department, before the purchase took place.
Nine shareholders in Uranium One just happened to provide more than $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation in the run-up to State Department approval.
The Clintons took the cash from Uranium One officials before the deal was approved by Hillary Clintons State Department. The Clintons hid the donations which is a clear violation of the Memorandum of Understanding Hillary Clinton signed with the Obama administration wherein she promised and agreed to publicly disclose all donations during her tenure as Secreatary of State. (Via Breitbart)
The New York Times reported on the crooked deal in 2015.
As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium Ones chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.
And then theres this...
Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) told Greta Van Susteren the deal Hillary approved gave Putin ownership of 20 percent of US uranium and Russia sells uranium to unfriendly countries, including Iran.
______________________________________________________________
Remember those side deals Obama forged with Iran that were not part of the text of the official treaty? Now we are finding out some of the details.
Yesterday, the Washington Free Beacon reported that Iranian officials confirmed they have received at least $10 billion in cash, commodities, and assets from Washington since 2013. And that is likely a conservative estimate.
But cash is not the only thing the Islamic Republic of Iran is receiving for gracing us with their willingness to sign onto our own capitulation.
The AP is reporting that Russia, with the support of President Obama, is shipping Iran 116 metric tons of natural uranium.
While Iranian officials have obviously declined to disclose the use of such uranium, AP notes that this is enough to enrich weapons-grade uranium for nuclear bombs:
Despite present restrictions on its enrichment program, however, the amount of natural uranium is significant should Iran decide to keep it in storage, considering its potential uses once some limits on Tehrans nuclear activities start to expire in less than a decade.
David Albright, whose Institute of Science and International Security often briefs U.S. lawmakers on Irans nuclear program, says the shipment could be enriched to enough weapons-grade uranium for more than 10 simple nuclear bombs, depending on the efficiency of the enrichment process and the design of the nuclear weapon. ...

Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood."
The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.
"We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."

President Trump called Russia a destabilizing influence in Europe and the Middle East, and urged it to join the community of responsible nations, in his strongest remarks yet against the regime of Vladimir Putin, whom he is scheduled to meet Friday in Hamburg for the first time.
His remarks in Warsaws Krasinski Square, which marks the 1944 Warsaw uprising against the Nazis, came after the U.S. agreed to sell Patriot missiles to Poland. The president also used the opportunity to reiterate the NATO commitment to mutual defense, a declaration he did not make during the NATO summit in May, prompting consternation among U.S. allies wary of Russias ambitions.
To those who would criticize our tough stance, I would point out that the United States has demonstratednot merely with its words but with its actionsthat we stand firmly behind Article 5, the mutual-defense commitment, Trump said Thursday. Words are easy, but actions are what matters. And for its own protection, Europe, and you know this, everybody knows this, everybody has to know this, Europe must do more.
Trump has repeatedly said NATO members must spend more on defensea position in line with past U.S. administrations. But he has been criticized because he appeared to suggest U.S. commitment to mutual defense was predicated on its allies defense spending. ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In his first call as president with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump denounced a treaty that caps U.S. and Russian deployment of nuclear warheads as a bad deal for the United States, according to two U.S. officials and one former U.S. official with knowledge of the call.
When Putin raised the possibility of extending the 2010 treaty, known as New START, Trump paused to ask his aides in an aside what the treaty was, these sources said.
Trump then told Putin the treaty was one of several bad deals negotiated by the Obama administration, saying that New START favored Russia. ...

LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said NATO was obsolete because it had not defended against terror attacks, but that the military alliance was still very important to him, The Times of London reported.
I took such heat, when I said NATO was obsolete, Trump told the newspaper in an interview. Its obsolete because it wasnt taking care of terror. I took a lot of heat for two days. And then they started saying Trump is right.
Trump added that many NATO members were not paying their fair share for U.S. protection.
A lot of these countries arent paying what theyre supposed to be paying, which I think is very unfair to the United States, Trump said. With that being said, NATO is very important to me. Theres five countries that are paying what theyre supposed to. Five. Its not much.

"President Trump has been very clear," Stoltenberg told fill-in host John Roberts.
"He is committed to NATO. He stated that clearly just a few days ago and also at the NATO summit in July.
But at the same time, he has clearly stated that NATO allies need to invest more. And therefore at the summit in July last year, we agreed to do more to step up -- and now we see the results."
In all, Stolenberg continued, "by the end of next year, NATO allies will add hundred 100 billion extra US dollars toward defense. So we see some real money and some real results. And we see that the clear message from President Donald Trump is having an impact."
In July 2018, NATO leaders pledged their unwavering commitment to boost defense spending, following stern words from the president. The U.S. and European allies signed a declaration stating they were committed to improving the balance of sharing the costs and responsibilities of alliance membership.
