Powell: U.S. 'Cannot Accept Result' of Ukraine Election
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Putin is trying to restore USSR-era Russian holdings. He's been getting puppets installed here and there (and I think Belarus voted to reunite with Russia, dunno if that went through though). Once the Ukraine is back under Russian control, whatever assistance was forthcoming for the WOT will no longer be.
Wake me up when the Kremlin is on fire.
It's just fine with me... I misinterpreted your statement to mean that you didn't know what the KGB was. I do apologize for that.
Could you explain your statement ? How is it connected with EU ?
I wonder if it is because Americans outside the church simply no longer understand the concept of loyalty based on common communion.
I once emailed a Greek priest to reply to a survey and after a few exchanges we rested. Months later, after Pascha had just ended, he emailed me again to tell me he had prayed for our family on Mt. Athos during Pascha. Talking to him in email was like talking to someone I had known much of my life.
I suppose we are unable to understand the way of life outside of the church after a time. What do you think? This is a fascinating subject. Orthodox share a kind of intimacy and loyalty that seems to arouse suspicion in the world.
Yoo-hoo!!! Waving arms...
Putin is a member of our church. Therefore we know a great deal about his life, even though he doesn't share it in public with those outside the church. And I stand by Putin, as fellow Orthodox, without one moment of hesitation. Not over every other leader in Europe because the leaders in some other countries are also Orthodox - Bulgaria for instance.
We have already 'changed' things. Cheers!
"I wonder if it is because Americans outside the church simply no longer understand the concept of loyalty based on common communion."
Here's the thing, the overwhelming majority Americans, even if they don't believe in God, understand the concept of freedom. And they hate to see it taken away. Wherever it happens.
Russian orthodoxy doesn't trump democracy in my book.
I can understand someone confusing you with a serbian nationalist.
All Orthodoxy trumps anything in this world. Nothing in this world can be taken with you to the next except for your relationship with Christ. Empires and governments rise and fall, only Christ will be there after we die.
So leave your salvation to God. You won't get it through politics.
so long MarMema. happy hunting.

Military officers confirm the information about the presence of Russian special forces near Central Election Committee.
A Ukrainian special forces officer made a public statement in the headquarters of the presidential candidate V. Yushchenko, claiming that at the present moment there are Russian special forces dressed in the uniform of Crimean special police. Additionally, there are some persons of 'unidentified origin' dressed in the uniform of Crimean and Donetsk police, who openly admitted they were paid $200-500. They confessed that they do not trust their colleagues from the Central and Western regions of Ukraine, and that they are ready to suppress oppositional protesters. At the same time, police from Western and Central Ukraine said they are equipped only with the means of self-defense and are resolute to protect the protesters.
Do you know the history of Keston?
In the Orthodox church salvation is not an independent issue.
