In the new war of beliefs, Putin is saying, it is Russia that is on God’s side. The West is Gomorrah.

nope. next question.
you think b/c putin isn’t for gays, this one issue suddenly makes God be for Putin?
tells you the lack of depth of the secular media.
God would be unrighteous to judge America for sins already judged on the body of his son. Jesus said, "It is finished." Contrary to the traditions of man in popular Christian culture, God isn't mad at anyone. He wants to being America back to himself, and may yet do so. God himself brought America into existence for a specific purpose and will not let her go until that purpose is fulfilled. I'm not sure America has fulfilled her purpose yet.
America has a role to play against the likes of tyrants and bullies like Putin.
Around the world today, America is a far bigger bully than Russia, and we have no assurance of our national role in the future. I am far more concerned about God's righteous judgment of our collective rebellion against God than I am about Russia or its border disputes. Jesus' death and resurrection paid for the eternal consequence of our sin to those who believe, but it did not remove sin's temporal consequences. That we have rejected God is cause for alarm.
“America has a role to play against the likes of tyrants and bullies like Putin.”
As in Libya? Kosovo? Waco?
Then there's this:

DING DING DING!! We have the winner!
God punished Israel with bad kings why would He treat us any different? How else could an incompetent unknown community agitator become president?
God's words are His teachings and His teachings are the Truth.
What's going on is an outright assault on and vilification of truth. Beast.gov has become so all-powerful that it has placed itself above God, inventing its own lying definitions of marriage, family, justice, tolerance and so forth, and it now demands compliance and validation because it can.
Woe to those who refuse to believe and accept the lies. They are the ones whom the government targets regardless of religious affiliation. The left is at war with the truth, which by extention is war with God Himself.
In these days it is not difficult to envision an America thoroughly "at one" with the dark side, such that only those who embrace the lies will be able to work, engage in commerce, put food on the table, and be left alone to live ostensibly at peace with the beast. Everyone else has a target painted on his back, subject to all manner of demonization and abuse. Oh wait, we are already there.
Taking on the character and beliefs (i.e. mark) of the beast system just to get along and avoid becoming a target of destruction is a fairly seductive option in these last days.
Here is the patience and the faith of the saints (saints = those who love the truth and steadfastly remain separate from the lies, filth, and corruption).
Amen.
And, OF COURSE, their media Pravda ("truth") will certainly let us know when that happens and we will ALL believe what Pravda puts out.
“Do you think that the Russians have shut down their notorious “gulags”? I don’t think so. When they do, let me know.”
Are you overlooking our FEMA camps?
“And, OF COURSE, their media Pravda (”truth”) will certainly let us know when that happens and we will ALL believe what Pravda puts out.
And of course our media is much more honest? Right?
So Gods on the side of a former KGB, murdering, NeoSoviet who bemoans the collapse of the Soviet Union? Not my God.
I don't buy the Leftist/Ron Paul/Pat Buchanan blame America approach in general or regarding Putin's aggression in particular. Buchanan has already expressed a kind of sympathy for Putin's deep regret for the breakup of the USSR. But the USSR was, as Reagan sad, an evil empire, that slaughtered tens of millions of its own people and was a constant threat to the rest of the world. America's shortcoming and failures do not justify Putin's aggression against free and sovereign countries. Apparently he is about to begin military exercises in our hemisphere in cold-war fashion. China and North Korea and Iran are looking on with great interest.
Enough already with Buchanan's shortsighted isolationism and blaming America first. The American People need to do what it takes to right this ship, build a strong military defense, get back to the free market wealth, while continuing to stand to help free and sovreign countries against aggressors like Putin.
As in WWII, the Cold War, and against the likes of Osama bin Laden and the Taliban.
Pat Buchanan has been an isolationist since back in the Iraq War days. Strange thing is that I’m starting to think he was right and I was wrong.
This is what we are:

Until that changes here, all we are doing is contract jobs on weaker peoples and nations.
Liberty, like charity, begins in the home. We are no longer free.
How odd that you assume I haven’t read the Bible.
No, God doesn’t break his covenant. The Savior is not a break of the Covenant; it’s the Fulfillment: Abraham rejoiced to see His day. Our Lord could not have been more clear that all who hear the Gospel — Jews and gentile alike — are faced with the decision of acceptance or rejection. Many Jews did accept the Gospel and were baptized, becoming a new creation in Christ. Many others — like the elder brother of the prodigal son — did not, refusing to “enter the house”. John warned them of the disaster that would overtake them. So did Jesus, repeatedly. The Jews who rejected the Gospel were cut off; they were driven from the master’s vineyard and receive no portion of the inheritance. God loves the Hebrew people and has not forgotten them, but the role they play in the plan of salvation is more hidden and mysterious than you suspect. At the end, Esau must accept the gifts offered by Jacob. That is his only hope for reconciliation.
Many have bought into the Socialist lie of "perfectionism." Socialists point to what's wrong and say, "See its all wrong." But of course that' a lie. America isn't perfect and has its flaws. But it is the best thing going on the planet. Freedom and the free market isn't perfect, but it does way more good than harm and is far ahead of whatever's in second place.
You're stuck negativity that keeps you in a straightjacket of inaction. Buchanan is shortsighted. There's no vision there. Be part of the solution, no part of the problem. There are forces for good at work in the country to turn it around. Join them. As I said, God still has a role for America in the world becasue I don't believe the end is quite yet. But when America does go, the world plunge into apocalyptic darkness.
