What was our policy under Obama?
Obama cared only about Muslims who were killing Christians at the time.
Fascinating that the old commie is defending Christianity. Since when did he start caring?
“What was our policy under Obama?”
Or under McCain and Hillary as they worked to destroy Syria?
Putin is positioning himself to be the new Byzantine Emperor.
Not that I object.
Now we know where the Putin hate started.
There is rumor GW brought him to Christ.
The world has turned upside down. A former Godless Commie as the protector of oppressed and endangered Christians. Kanye becomes an evangelist.
Makes you wonder...
History will record that if not for Russia’s intervention against ISIS, there would be no Christians left in Syria and Iraq. Obama witnessed a genocidal slaughter and did nothing.
At the time of the speech, Nixon asked Kissinger what it meant.
"It is a very conservative statement," answered Henry.
"More conservative than Barry Goldwater?" asked Nixon, naming his lodestar for conservatism.
"More conservative than the czars," said Kissinger.
Putin was part of a Russian nationalist movement within the KGB that took Solzhenitsyn to heart. Since achieving power, he made Solzhenitsyn required reading for high school students. He took a Russian Orthodox seminary than had been turned into government buildings by Stalin and returned it to the church. He took a basilica that Stalin had turned into a public swimming pool and rebuilt it to its original specifications at government expense.
Putin understands that Russian Orthodoxy is the only hope for holding ethnic Russia together because if it doesn't, he will be presiding over a majority Muslim nation in the not too distant future.
Vlad the Protector.
“Now we know where the Putin hate started.”
Bingo
Nice way to make the old bandit come up smelling like a rose. He’s well aware of the deeply mystical Russian culture. He’s no dummy.
I’ve always felt that Liberia should be turned into a homeland for African, Middle-Eastern, and Asian Christians.
GW is as Christian as his old man was.
They follow the modern Whore of Babylon, globalism.
Eastern Orthodox Christianity went its own direction after the Great Schism of 1054. While Western Christianity had to cope with political and social upheaval, Eastern Christianity grew in a reasonably stable environment in Constantinople, and thus it had time to develop the mystical side of religion. All branches of Eastern Orthodoxy are heavily mystical.
Meanwhile the liberals in the west only care about Muslims. They LOVE that religion.
That is a very astute observation.
He sounds genuine in his commitment.
Syria was never anti-Christian, nor was Iraq under Saddam. Even Egypt was fairly tolerant.
