I agree up and until you mentioned Putin as a ray of hope....
Not possible for Putin to bring any hope concerning the Islamic nations...he’s supporting their leadership and equipping them with arsenals of military might..including Nuclear material. For he intends to use them when the time comes.....do NOT believe his language....he has a plan and it’s not in our interest.
Putin has allied with Islamic leadership and countries....what does that tell you? Don’t go by what he says...go by who he is allied with..and where he has his military located...and who he visits.
You are probably right, I just tire of being called names by people that ignore facts and only speak ideology. I expect that from the left, kind of disappointing to get it from the right, momentary weakness, nothing more.
