Perhaps I misunderstood yours. I merely point out that some forms of resistance may abet what you oppose. Is Anti-Soviet prejudice-mutating-into-anti-Orthodox-prejudice an example of that?

I believe that it is, given that:

1. Orthodox Christianity is transforming Russia, bringing her back to her Orthodox Christian roots, and that

2. Russia, long before being temporarily hijacked by communism for 8 decades, had been an implacable foe of Islamic expansionism, fighting to keep Islam in line along her lengthy borders for nearly a millenium.

By contrast, Western Europe has proven herself incapable either of preserving traditional Christianity in ANY form, and incapable of dealing with Islam, whether from afar (in the war on terror), or nearby (in their disastrous decision to side with Islam in the Balkans against Orthodox Christian Serbia), or within their own borders (dealing with out-of-control and increasingly aggressive Muslim immigrants.)

I believe that militant secularism and Islamic expansionism are the two biggest threats to the preservation of liberty and sanity here in the US.

Why any right-thinking person would reflexively believe that attempting to remake Ukraine into the image of France is somehow better for America than is allowing her to stay within the Russian general sphere of influence is beyond me.

I have no idea who "really" won the election in the Ukraine. But neither does anyone else on this board. Those who claim to know that the election was fixed are largely speaking out of their anti-Russian prejudices.

George Soros wouldn't have poured millions into the campaign of the opposition if he wasn't reasonably assured that it would further his overall strategy to secularize Eastern Europe into his leftist image.

America needs to stay out of this, just as staying out of the Balkans would have put us miles ahead in the war against Islamic expansionism and aggression.
