“Also, Reddies man Putin is pro-Muslim, not us.”
Well, in a sense, I suppose that’s somewhat accurate in regard to Putin, but quite inaccurate in regards to the U.S. Government under Obama.
Syria is involved in a bloody civil war where, of course, both sides are Muslim.
Putin choose to support the Shiite/Alawite Assad and his Government against the Wahhabi/Salafist, Sunni rebels.
U.S. policy has been to support the Sunni “rebels” with the goal of ousting Assad.
By the way, Assad protects Christians. “Our” rebels don’t.
America’s support for Muslims who murder Christians has been an ongoing problem since Bill Clinton supported then arming of the Muslims of Yugoslavia against the Christians of Yugoslavia(The press ignoring Muslim atrocities while playing up Christian retaliation had a large part in this) . The real kicker was the mass slaughter of Christians in Iraq that the supposedly Christian Neo-Con president GWB ignored and enabled.
Neo-cons like elhombrelibre argue that they and only they have pure intentions while they ignore the slaughter of Christians through their policies. They then question the intentions of guys like Putin who consistently defend Christians while ignoring their track records. I submit to all of you that results, not intentions matter more and this is a biblical concept: Matthew 7:16 - “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?”
Putin has protected Christians left and right whenever possible. Our own government and the neo-cons go out of their way to protect Muslims and enable the murder of Christians at every turn. Ye shall known them by their fruits, indeed.
All this is about to change with Trump which is one of the many reasons the Neo-cons hate him so much and are working so hard to destroy Trump and to prevent a American/Russian alliance against ISIS.

Putin apologists, no doubt, will be along to help everyone understand why Putin's interest trump America's. In time, when Putin's interests come before Trump's interests, we'll see whether the Putinistas stick with Putin or they put America first.
