The Syrian armed forces, supported by the Russian military, have liberated from terrorists almost the whole territory of the country, including historic Christian regions,” Putin said on Monday at a meeting with the heads of Orthodox Christian congregations.

Moscow will help restore holy sites not only of Syria’s Christians, but also Muslims and Jews, the Russian leader stated.

"We will help also the members of other faiths, including Muslims, who, as we are well aware of, have also suffered greatly at the hands of bandits, terrorists and radicals,” Putin said. “We will also help Jews, a number of organizations have already reached us with a call for help in restoration of Judaic holy sites.”

Feels really strange having the Russians and Assad looking out for Christians.

Obama sure didn’t.

It will be interesting to see how it all turns to snuff. Everything the Russians touch always does.

If the defeat of ISIS in Iraq and Syria had happened under Obama’s watch we would never have heard the end of it from the media.

Putin, IMO, is Russia’s greatest President/leader since Peter the Great. He has single-handedly rebuilt Russia. And I hear that the women are awesome too.

During the Kenyan (Obunghole) Usurper Regime, Putin did things, foreign policy wise, America used to do. If Syria fell, it would be a game changer.

It really is a shame that the Mooselimb ISIS destroyed all the Christian symbols.

Syria is the place where the Savior visited quite a few times.

We know the Apostles traveled there also.
