There’s a piece in that puzzle we hadn’t heard before. The Kurds. If Russia gives the Kurds the help the DC gov has refused to, the picture because clearer and weirder. The US will be in the Axis of Evil....SaudiArabia, Turkey, US, and ISIS while Russia, Iran, Syria, and the Kurds become the saviors of Christians and other minorities. Yikes.

See?

Since we can’t have Putin, let’s settle for Trump/Cruz.

....here’s a new piece of the global puzzle....If Russia gives Kurds the help official Washington refuses, the picture because clearer..... The US will be in the Axis of Evil....Saudi Arabia, Turkey, US, and ISIS..

... Russia, Iran, Syria, and the Kurds become the saviors of Christians and other minorities.

===========================================

Hard to believe---but Putin is a devout Christian. It has been reported Putin always carries a cross given to him by his mother. Putin eagerly proclaimed his Christianity in a NYT Op-Ed awhile back.

Putin also decried Christian slaughter by Muzzies in Egypt and defended Egyptian President al-Sisi in his efforts to drive the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics. Putin was there for al-Sisi when al Sisi vowed to rebuild the 63 churches torched by Muzzies who rampaged over Christian homes and businesses.

Putin’s impressive debut on the NYT op-ed page announced his personally-held beliefs thusly: "......when we ask for the Lord's blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal."

.....something every Christian believes---an article of faith for Christians.....and, not incidentally, the bedrock of our constitutional republic........

==============================================

We, the people, know we will never hear Muslim Obama say anything even remotely pro-Christianity.

===========================================

When Putin professes Jesus as the Son of God and kneels confessing Him as Lord of his life and Messiah of Israel, I believe some of what he says.

Christ admonishes us not to judge others lest we be judged. No one knows what's in a person's heart.

Besides, we don't know that Putin hasn't professed Jesus as the Son of God and kneels to Him as his Lord.....he doesn't have to do this publicly.

That’s the real barometer for me. The kurds are the only actor in that region that I can trust to any degree. They have seemingly always been straight shooters just looking to build their society.

Except you have to apply Iran to your argument with its advancing nuclear arsenal that Russia is supporting.
