Anyway...it set me off like a stick of dynamite up my wazzoo...
All that stuff about Brzezinski was all unrelated to what we are talking about here..the crack he made about the US going after the orthodox Christians was a reference to various explosive rejections of protestants in the distant past that have absolutely nothing to do with US policy and never have. He like most readers of European thinking believes that the US is comprised of all protestants who wield all the power. Of course he is full of it.
However I do not reject the idea that a religious war could happen in this time or the future, largely because of the Muslims. But not the orthodox Christians who'd primary problem in Eastern Europe has been Muslims, not protestants.
My grandparents were Orthodox Christians, Orthodox Catholics when they immigrated. The black veil and all black and fully covered clothing..Don't see to much of it anymore..
But the idea as most of his ideas were all quasi intellectual garbage. IMO. Those opinions and many others came or stemmed from Marxist European intellectuals, (the home of Marx) and they as most Marxist writings, are specifically designed to pit group against group. for whatever purpose, but to a European they are the truth. Which is why they cannot and have not been able to get out of their own way for much of the last 150 years. Another example why America is exceptional.
That was a ZIGGY QUOTE, not mine.
I was pointing out that recently when it hit the news, it had historical significance. Ziggy said that, not me.
My point is that the Russians think Ziggy is representative of Americans and our goals in foreign policy.
I am an Orthodox Christian.
