It’s fashionable . . . considered even erudite and PC by even conservatives normally hostile to PC . .

to be dismissive to fiercely hostile and derisive about

demonic spiritual forces . . .

particularly as acting through globalist political elite stooges of satan.

People who talk about THE TRUTH as The Bible warned so clearly about in the END TIMES ERA . . . are even considered by some to be kooks, ignorant, insane, etc.

I wonder what they’ll tell themselves when the new gestapo shows up at their doors.

That’s a great question!

We gonna support the radical Muslim Brotherhood or a nasty arab dictator... It is hard to believe anyone calls what Obama has done in the Middle East an American foreign policy. He’s leading us into a world war.

Putin caught Bush off guard when Bush made the assumption he was harmless and Bam has mistaken Putin for a friendly fellow travelor from the KGB. America is Putin enemy.

The problem is the US does not call in its blood and money spent in the Middle East an insist that Christians are protected.

The US certainly did not help the Christians in Egypt or any other country that was supporting "Arab Spring." Helping the Muslim Brotherhood seems to be more important to this current administration.

Exactly. Spengler’s recent column noted that this was a proxy war between Shia Islam and Sunni Islam. We want both sides to win. Any Russians are a bonus.

Exactly.

Putin has beaten Barack Hussein Kardashian to the punch. The punk with the prompter now CANNOT send troops to Syria without tangling with the Russians, and we KNOW the punk doesn't have the BALLS to do that.

He also cannot bomb Syria, or do Predator strikes, without risking hitting a Russian, which is probably why Putin sent them.

You think Clinton would have bombed the Serbs if there had been Russian advisers there?

The State Dept. is filled with neo-communists...

They tried to steal the Russian election and failed.

I’m not so sure who’s side Putin is on, but I know damn sure Hillary is an enemy.

Yeh...Whenever I want news about Russia and Syria, I turn to MSNBC News who are liars, commies, traitors, America-haters and seditionists.

Even the left-wing Israeli Haaretz gets half their reporting right. MSNBC, not even close.

>>Unfortunately, the overthrow of the Alawites with a government support by Saudi Arabia is in the best interest of the United State.

Asserts facts not in evidence.

I would maintain we want both sides to lose. Sort of like Iran-Iraq in the 80s.

We should sit on the sidelines.

"Putin isn’t a Christian? "

Putin is a strong Orthodox Christian who implemented mandatory religious instruction in Russian schools. The four religions allowed to be taught are Russian Orthodoxy, Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism

This is the beginning of something that could really escalate into a major international problem with devastating results. The only thing "good" that will come of this is that if Romney is elected he will be able to blame Obama for what is to come...and what a huge mess he was handed by this incompetent AMATEUR in the White House.

After all, blaming the former president has been "acceptable" for the past 3.5 years that Obama has occupied the Oval Office. So I hope the media and the liberals are ready to point fingers at their failed experiment, "The won." This is what happens when the most important position in the world was handed to an clueless narcissist who still hasn't passed his on-the-job training phase. What a fool the Russians know Obama to be. How well they have played him!

If this is the “ARAB SPRING”, then I don’t want to see the “ARAB SUMMER”.
