The english and french were b***ards to fight against russia in the crimean war — they fought on the side of Moslems against their Christian fellow-men.
They haven’t changed.
It is interesting the Crimean War started over a fist fight between Orthodox and Catholic monks in Bethlehem over who should install a new star on the spot Jesus was born on.
The Turks had to send in troops to break it up.
From what I’ve read, the Orthodox sent a plea to Mother Russia for help, the Catholics sent a plea to France. Britain got involved because she wanted to keep Russia contained in it’s area.
What a mess!
