“Anyone else scared as to what may happen this summer and fall during the last months of the moron in the White House?”
I don’t like to think about it. Hussein is going to go scorched earth. Maybe literally.

I know that....it is why zCheis Stevens and the SEALS died. So the DiC and Mrs. BJ could run a fast and furious to Syria
Interesting thread. Possibly, before long, many of the same zombies will be cheering for the same invaders from the north and east to try to occupy Jerusalem.

> Russia, fighting for ISIS yet again.
Is this some kind of joke?
“As long as it’s Russian Orthodox. And even it operates with his permission only. So believing that Russia will become “the last bastion of traditional Christianty left on Earth” is more than “cynical.” It’s stupid.”
Educate yourself. The Orthodox Church is ancient and one of the “genuine “ forms of Christianity.
Evangelical churches, on the other hand, are a fairly new invention and have different practices and beliefs from the Original Christians. So why the bigotry against the Orthodox Church?
Yes, I know the Soviet Union persecuted the Orthodox and used the Church for their own ends. Fortunately, the true Orthodox Church is making a comeback in Russia.
The Russian Orthodox Church isn’t the only Orthodox Church. There is Greek Orthodox, Serbian Orthodox, Ukrainian Orthodox, etc. There are also the Oriental Orthodox Churches.
No, Russia is not the last bastion of Christianity. But neither is the U.S. In fact, many Protestants and Evangelicals are incredibly ignorant and bigoted about Eastern Christianity. In fact, I think that bigotry is why U.S. Christians aren’t too concerned about the Christians in Syria and Iraq. They don’t regard them as “real Christians”
I’m tired of that ignorance.
From stupid to insane... nailed...
Well, then. If someone was making the argument that the U.S. is, you'd have a point. And I have nothing against Orthodox Christianity, either. Just those who don't understand that the Russian version operates at the permission of the state.
The “Armageddon Scenario” as laid out in the Good Book has been interpreted many ways.
The Communist Russians were clearly bad guys in the Soviet Era as good Russians like Aleksandr Solzehenitsyn pointed out to us folk in the Western nations.
But what of the ones today?
Perhaps when the Good Book speaks of the “End Times” we see all of humanity including the Western nations, Russia, China etc. waging war against each other raging in its drunkenness and debauchery, its sin with no ‘good guys’ or ‘bad guys’ to be talked about in the picture.
Educate yourself moron. First, it’s truly weapons grade stupid to trust Wiki on a current US government sponsored operation like Syria, Al Nusra, the FSA, etc.
Second, here are your boys in the FSA. Cutting the heart out of a man and eating it. Real Madison and Jefferson stuff there. I am happy that the FSA barracks was bombed. And its fantastic that they waited a few minutes and hit again to wipe out the first responders.

I cant stop looking at a post that says “educate yourself” and provides a link to Wikipedia. I think you meant that seriously.
If we were discussing the origin of the potato, the tallest waterfall in South America, or the spread of the bark beetle. then ok. But never about politics involving current events in the middle east.
Why don’t you just direct us to the State department public affairs page.
Lay an egg on Damascus?
Meanwhile, a teenage Serbian patriot shot and killed the Crown Prince of Austria, Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
