Exactly. When Hitler was gobbling up the Rhineland, Austria and Czechoslovakia, it wasn’t Nazi propaganda to suggest that the Western leaders were being played like a fiddle.

Russian is a demonic cesspool sinking into a cesspool. Every conclusion in this Russian propaganda piece is wrong.

The forces of evil are always at work in the world, and especially in this rapidly declining nation

And Russia and Putin (Gog and Magog) lead the pack of evil forces doing satan's work here on earth. Smell the sulfur and brimstone and wake up.

Russian is a demonic cesspool sinking into a cesspool.

Russia is a very bad bully eager to get back Stalin's USSR; but what, then, is America today?

Rife with meaningless looting riots, a weasel in the White House a judiciary that is completely out of control and impossible to understand, a Congress filled with self-serving careerists, a society without God, a military used as an experiment, the placing of homosexuals, lesbians and other assorted perverts on a pedestal.

America has become the epitome of a rapidly declining nation that is rather like the Titanic whose lifeboats can be compared to Bush III, Christy, Romney, McCain and a host of other Republicrats. Elections are supposed to mean things and, by God, this had better be the most important in America's history, but what are we to do for the next two years with the 'moderates' and the Progressives ready to crawl into the same bed? Conservatives must sleep on the floor.

And, a nation whose manufacturing base represents around 10 % of their GDP hasn’t much of a chance.

Eliminating the Corporate income tax and slashing the central government and the spending to ribbons would be a great help towards rejuvenation.

Solzhenitsyn tried to warn the West, but they wouldn’t listen.

Lest we forget, the Turks have joint possession of dozens of nukes at Incirlik.

Well sure, Hitler gets thing done. The Gestapo gets things done. Don Corleone gets things done. That doesn’t mean we like it. Putin is slaughtering Christians in East Ukraine as we speak:

EASTERN UKRAINE — Ukraine’s evangelical Christians are bearing the brunt of the country’s conflict, often with deadly consequences.

It’s a scene that has played in Elena Velichko’s head over and over. Pro-Russian rebels took over her hometown in early April. Her husband Vladimir told her to take the kids and leave the city.

“He took us to the train station and we said goodbye. He said, ‘I love you.’ He kissed me and kissed the children and left,” Elena said.

Several days later, her life and that of her eight children, ages 2 to 16, suddenly turned upside down.

Surreal Reality

It was June 8, Pentecost Sunday. The church was half empty. That’s because the city was under tremendous assault by both the pro-Russian separatists and the Ukrainian army.

Once the church service ended everybody made their way to the front of the church to go home.

But then the unimaginable happened.

“The church called and said my husband, along with three other believers, had been taken by men who were waiting outside the church,” Elena said.

Alexander Gayvoronski, a church deacon, was there that Sunday morning.

“The men wore masks and had machine guns. They told the four Christian men to get into their cars,” Gayvoronsi said.

The rebels took the pastor’s sons, Ruvim and Albert Pavenko, Victor Brodarsky, and Elena’s husband, Vladimir.

Multiple sources told CBN News what then happened to the four Christian captives.

First rebels took them outside the city and tortured them. The next day the men were put in car and told to drive away.

Then, minutes later they were recaptured and shot multiple times. Elena’s husband was burned in the car.

snip...

That same day rebels burned down the largest furniture factory that belonged to Ruvim and Albert Pavenko’s father.

It had become clear rebels were targeting the city’s evangelical community.

Snip...

Sergey Demidovich, a top evangelical leader in Slavyansk, said Christians face constant threat.

“I never thought in the 21st century, in [a] free country as Ukraine, it was possible to experience this level of persecution,” Demidovich said. “The separatists saw Protestant Christians as enemies. They viewed us as cults.”

But the persecution was just getting started.

“All the Protestant churches in the city were either taken over by rebels or forced to close. We were forbidden to meet for services and the leadership forced to leave or be under risk of arrest,” Demidovich said.

And the persecution is spreading far beyond just this city. Throughout the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, as rebels gain more territory, assaults against evangelicals are growing.

snip...

“When I was in prison, a rebel soldier told me they have an order to kill all the Christian pastors who are not part of the Russian Orthodox Church,” Anatoly, a pastor from Luhansk, said.

We can definitely agree on this though! But one should not overestimate Russkies. They are far more incompetent and useless than anyone has ever imagined. I don't deny that the United States is in trouble, but not for the reasons you have described.

I won’t disagree with what you said, but you leave out one very important fact, America is also a nation with millions of bible believing praying Christians. Who can calculate the number, maybe a hundred million or more? What is happening is suppose to happen, God has not lost control of anything, he is sovereign over all the earth.

Please note, this thread is about Russia but as so often happens in threads here about the evil of Russia Freepers omit Russia and instead point out our problems.

I have come to believe that there are no coincidences. Everything happens for a reason.
