If Kerry wins, Putin loses, and Russia descends into the REAL chaos and mischief some Freepers imagine the Russkies are involved in now.

I know a number of first generation Russian emigres. They respect and like Putin, they HATED the drunkard Yeltsin. They've described the post-Kremilin organized crime dynamic that sent a lot of that ordinance to North Korea, Iraq, Iran etc. Putin is trying to rein that in. One of the toughest jobs in the world.

Take that for what it is worth.

So the Russian Orthodox church believes it's fine to prop up the brutal and demented North Korean dictator, a man who slaughters his own people in the thousands, and to give him missile technology to threaten his neighbors with?

So the Russian Orthodox church believes it's alright to provide nuclear technology to the islamic nation of Iran, a rogue state openly threatening a Christian nation?

So the Russian Orthodox church believes it's alright to violate international agreement and illegal sell advances weapons to a nation under sanctions...that Russia publicly agreed to?

I assume by your respone that either the Russian Orthodox church is very liberal in it's attitude towards arming non-Christian dictators or that devotion is subordinate to the state.
