khamenei and Putin are meeting most certainely to find more ways to suppress the Syrian people who are all against Bashar Al Assad dictator, but it is too late and now the world is for change in Syria and Iran.

this is a shame for Russian shaking with Mullahs who were condemned by the United Nations for sixty seconds times for human rights violations just 2 days ago. this is a scorn to the UN and Human values.

I think the main thing which the Western elites hold against Putin and Russia is the refusal to get into the globalist hot tub. They won’t sign on to a One World government, they won’t sign on to queer agendas, they won’t allow their culture to be dissolved into secular, Rousseau fantasy mush, and they embrace and promote Orthodox Christianity. That is such an affront to the globalists in the West that they are enemy #1.


Russia has the second highest per capita abortion rate in the world. Surprisingly, in your homily to Putinism you left that out.

The fact is one party state fascist Russia has nothing of value to give the world other than natural resources. Throughout history Russia have been a malignant force. Where Russia goes misery follows.

That the biggest country in the world has an economy the size of Italy is all you need to know about what a failed, kleptocratic state Russia is.

That the biggest country in the world must use bombs and missiles to bully its much smaller neighbors is all you need to know about it’s redeeming qualities. It has none and must impose its political will at the point of the gun.

But go ahead and continue worshiping that mass murdering KGB filth if you wish, FRiend.

Great point.

If I might add, another point to consider is they love Putin because he uses the state to persecute all Christian churches other than their Russian Orthodox church.

I believe Assad, Putin, Khameini, AND Obama are working together to create a Persian hegemony in the Middle East.

“But go ahead and continue worshiping that mass murdering KGB filth if you wish, FRiend.”

As a preliminary we aren’t friends, but that is of no real consequence as I am sure you would agree if you were honest.

As for your characterization of “worshiping” Putin, that is an absurd and ultimately deceitful overstatement. There are some areas where I do indeed admire Putin and envy the Russians in having an effective and patriotic executive, and have enumerated them before. I shall do so again here. These are things I like about Putin:

1. The foundation of national sovereignty is non-negotiable. Putin will not barter away Russia’s autonomy for One World bullsquirt, or surrender decisions on Russian interests to the globalist fantasies of outsiders.

2. Orthodox Christianity is a part of the national and cultural bedrock of Russia and will be recognized and encouraged.

3. For Russia to have a future, Russians must have more children and families are encouraged. Sterile perversions and abortion, while tolerated, are NOT encouraged. Hipsters everywhere are apoplectic about this.

4. Objective, existential threats to the nation will be countered, no matter the source of the threat. They will not be ignored or irrationally minimized. This is the primary purpose of any legitimate government.

5. A socialist command economy and redistribution have been tried and have failed. Those errors will not be repeated.

6. Jihad will not be tolerated and its practitioners shall be physically destroyed. Aggressors will not be forgiven or “dialogued” with nor will there be efforts to “understand” them. They will be identified, pursued, and killed.

Every world leader should have comparable objectives in his own governance. There is not one Western leader up to this. Hopefully that will change for us in 2017.

Yep. I see Russia banned Scientology today. The KGB infiltration of the ROC has been well documented.

No patriot would rob his people of billion as Putin has. No pious man would wantonly murder civilians by the tens of thousands as Putin has in Russia and Ukraine.

There is nothing of merit about Putin or Putinism. It’s the latest mutation of the malignancy, Russian chauvinism, that killed upwards of 20 million in the last century and kept several hundred million people in chains.

It’s beyond ironic that those living in freedom worship at the feet of such KGB filth.

[I have to admit that for Russia to have working relations simultaneously with Israel and Iran while hammering jihadists is quite intriguing.]

There’s a ‘hook in the jaw’ coming. What that will be, exactly, no one can say.

Ezekiel 38 is different than Armageddon of Revelation chapters 16 and 19. Armageddon is all nations against Israel. Ezekiel 38 is not.

Ezekiel 38 comes first. Then there are at least several years of events prior to Armageddon. At least 3.5 to 7 years. It’s possible even a few more.

Amen. Luke 21:34-36 is one of my favorites.

Au contraire. Your response is the standard Putinist dissembling when cornered.

You have to be a true believer in Putinism to ignore Putin’s personal theft of the Russian peoples wealth and his wanton mass murder.

There is nothing “patriotic” about stealing $40+ billion from your people as Putin has done. There is nothing “effective” about robbing an economy blind resulting in the average Russian making $500 a month while 100 people control 35% of the nation’s wealth.

Putin is a KGB bred thief and a mass murderer. Full stop. Nothing redeeming at all about him or his one party state fascist kleptocracy.

You know, Ay, I still get all tingly when I remember how we eliminated that "problem" back on November 22, 1963. The Americans even bought our cover story . . . gullible peasants.

While Putin is seeking these leaders out for substantive deal making, Obama is on a pointless money wasting world tour, visiting foreign capitals and whining about Republicans at home. Big difference.

It’s true that Western Elites resent Putin won’t jump on their Globalist Agenda/NWO ...neither would Mubarak, nor Gaddafi...nor Assad.....and we see what happened in their nations for refusing.....In fact Gaddafi spoke out clearly he would not be a part of their “Mediterranean group” which France was attempting to mold at that time. It wasn’t by chance France led the coalition against Gaddafi....Sarkosy wanted pay back in a big way.

Not so sure Europes nationalist parties will actually do more than our Republicans in Congress.......once in office they ‘melt’ into the system to get along and reap the inside information that affords them wealth advantages, dishing out just enough to “show” they’re fighting but not actually making a difference in the status quo.

Additionally Obama’s been using a great deal of “strong-arming” to get Europes leaders to bend to his will..despite the fact most thought otherwise and do now. The power plays happening regarding Syria is also in play.....despite the fact European leaders do not want to play in Obama’s park.

I don’t know how much longer Obama can continue his plays because Europe’s had with him......he’s all about saving whatever little face he has left and they know it.

Putin began doing that when Obama first made the threat of sanctions against Russia.....he’s been on a role ever since. Putin knows that Obama is what has curtailed the relationships with Europes Leaders...and further he knows he can restore that once Obama’s out of office.

More than anything else Putins’s a businessman. ....he likes to make deals and was doing well in raising his country out of the ditch they were in. While of course lining his own pockets in the process as every leader seems to do.

That’s also why Trump knows he can get along with Putin.....and it’s why Bush got along with Putin. In Bushes first trip to Russia there were well over 40 business contracts he and Putin signed. Both Trump and Bush knew the way to handle Putin was do business with him....he’s a soft touch for that.
