Russia's Spetsnaz special forces went on bloody revenge missions against local (Muslim) jihad units.....to punish them for atrocities against Russian troops and civilians.

Just goes to show.....if nothing else, Putin, a practicing Christian, is consistent----he backed Egyptian president al Sisi in throwing the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics.

Putin also backed al Sisi when the Egyptian president vowed to rebuild the churches and Christian businesses destroyed by the Muslim savages. Onetime Egypt strongman (and Muslim Brother) Morsi has been sentenced to life in prison.

================================================

ITEM Hillary and Obama are still defending Muslims.

BACKSTORY In Egypt's post-Morsi era, then-Gen al Sisi (now Egyptian president) refused to take Obama's phone call---b/c he knew Obama wanted al Sisi to leave the M/B alone.

Nevertheless, Gen al Sisi proceeded to smash the M/B and throw them out of Egyptian politics....he vowed to rebuild the 65 Christian churches the M/B had savagely torched.

=============================================

It should be remembered that while Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood were ruling Egypt, Obama and Hillary showered them with praise and provided billions of dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes. Egypt has unceremoniously thrown the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics.... and hasn’t forgotten the support offered to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Egypt under al-Sisi has now charged Obama and Hillary Clinton for conspiring and collaborating with the M/B and advancing their terrorist activities.

Looks like Hillary can check-off Egypt as NOT a partner in her sap-happy foreign policy ally list.

==============================================

POINT TO PONDER The Clinton Foundation employee, Gehad al Haddad, who was also a Muslim Brotherhood activist AT THE SAME TIME has been jailed by the Egyptian govt. (reported by H/T Western Journalism).

Gehad means jihad in Farsi.

=======================================

AS FREEPER CLAUD POSTED---- I don’t follow Egyptian politics, but it was no secret Morsi et al. had no love for the Copts. Then when I saw al-Sisi visit a Coptic Church in Cairo to huge cheers, his kindness and graciousness to the Christians there and to the Patriarch (to whom he apologized profusely for interrupting prayers), that told me all I needed to know about Obama’s Egypt policy. It is unfathomable how utterly, completely, perversely wrong our government was in Egypt. Obama is a loathsome human being.

COMMENTS---Pres al-Sisi is one of the world's master strategists......bold, decisive and unerring. He received his master's degree at a Pennsylvania War College in Carlisle PA, in 2006.

Russia is the last great firewall between Christianity and barbarism. We, in the west, sold out to Planned Parenthood's abortion barbarism, homosexuality and political correctness. Putin actually gets it. We should thank God there is still one nation openly committed to defending Christian ideals.

Hard to believe---but Putin is a devout Christian....
he always carries a cross given to him by his mother.

Putin vocally decried Christian slaughter by Muzzies in Egypt and defended Egyptian President al-Sisi in his efforts to drive the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics. Putin backed al-Sisi's vow to rebuild the 63 churches torched by Muzzies who rampaged over Christian homes and businesses.

==============================================

Putin’s impressive debut on the NYT op-ed page announced his personally-held beliefs thusly: "......when we ask for the Lord's blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal."

This is something every Christian believes---an article of faith for Christians.....and, not coincidentally, the bedrock of our constitutional republic........

==============================================

We, the people, know we will never hear Obama say anything even remotely religious.

===========================================

Perhaps nothing more powerfully symbolizes Putin's attempt to transition back to Russia's religious heritage than the recent installation of a huge bronze statue of Vladimir the Great on Borovitskaya Ploshchad, right next to the Kremlin and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.

Prince Vladimir, or Vladimir the Great, also known as Saint Vladimir,
historically marks the era of Christianity after the era of paganism in Russia.

A concept is resurrected from the days of the Roman emperor Constantine, the idea that the Church colludes with the State and the State colludes with the Church. Hail “Symphonia”!!

I hope they also are prepared to recriminalize extramarital sex and hotel/dwellingplace accommodation of unmarried couples, as well as making divorce tougher. Otherwise, the state will end up reinforcing socialist rulers as the Dad in children’s lives and consign women to the role of legal prostitutes.

It’s hard to parse any potential faith element vs. state interest in the demographic crisis that is coming for them. The abortion rate in the 90s was unreal, peaking at something like 280 abortions per 100 live births. They didn’t get down to an even ratio until the early 2000s. That’s a lot of people that aren’t around and having kids now. Because of that they might eventually be the first state to make it illegal after legalizing it, which of course is a good thing in any case.

I've read the prophecies about Russia in True Life In God and initially, given our experience with the Soviets, I found them hard to believe.

However, after watching Putin and the Russians resurrect Russia as a Christian nation, even perhaps to be a spiritual leader of nations, as the prophecies claim and just as America once was, I began to take those prophecies and the rest of the material more seriously.

Our fall from Grace is easy to understand.

When we legalized abortion, we fell to/signed on to the dark side and became property of Satan.

But what about the evil Soviet Russia?

Fwiw, this material is a bit different than what you might be used to and I'm still not 100% sure what to make of it myself, but here are a few early prophecies found in TLIG that say happened to Russia:

I Will Resurrect Russia As I Have Resurrected Lazarus
January 4, 1988

Russia Will Be The Symbol Of God's Glory
February 1, 1988

Satan Offered Russia The Deadly Fruit
January 5, 1988

Prophecy On Russia
December 13, 1993

There’s a strong correlation between banning abortion and more traditional families. Step by step Putin is dismantling liberalism.
