Thank God! Someone is showing leadership and defending the Christians in the Middle East. Unlike the muslim in chief.

The US is still a Christian nation in theory, but you'd never know it from observing our government. The same is not true of Russia. The restoration of Christianity in Russia is real and not imaginary or contrived, nobody would go to the expense of rebuilding that gigantic cathedral in Moscow for any sort of a show:

"Thank God! Someone is showing leadership and defending the Christians in the Middle East."

I agree. It's just downright tragic that we are the ones backing the people who are attacking the Christians. Unfreakinbelievable!

On a side note: I was a teenager in the 80's. I remember all the cold war stuff- The news media ran non-stop editorials that Reagan was going to get us all killed. Or there were articles about how we were going to nuke Russia, or they were going to nuke us- these stories ran every day. There was even a movie where it showed what a hellish life we would be leading post nuclear Apocalypse. As a result of all this, many people who grew up then, including myself, at times, did not think that we would live to make it to adulthood.

(Then again we also had quite a few EOTWAWKI parties-so we didn't always take it so seriously either.)

But, if I was feeling bothered about something I'd seen, or heard, about Russia and the conflict, I'd talk to my mother. ( Not that she was an authority on world affairs -She really could have cared less), but, when I mentioned anything, she would always tell me, with 100% certainty in her voice : "Stop worrying-Russia will be converted. The Blessed Mother said so."

I wouldn't say my mom is overly religious either. She was raised Catholic, and went to Catholic school back in the 1950's-But she must've told me that a million times: "Russia will be converted".

It is Ironic in light of what's happening there today.
