    So? About every modern president we've had has shaken hands with the Pope. Doesn't make them Catholic. Much less observant Catholics

    Popes and Patriarchs go wherever they want, cloistered monastics don't. The Elder Ephraim was Vladimir Putin's spiritual father at Vatopedi and he was invited to come to Russia with a relic for the faithful - which he did.


    When Vladimir Putin visited Mount Athos 2 years ago, he was given the Byzantine Emperor's throne to the chagrin of the Greek president. I don't think it's given to laymen which means they see him as more than just a leader of a nation.

    It would be difficult not to be aware of the facts.

    A-ha. I get it. He's trolling.

    By the way. I read what you wrote earlier about yourself, what you think, and why. We've had the same experience and have come to the same conclusions for the same reasons. The only difference is that I was Army and my war was a long time ago now. It's tough to live the facts and realize it for yourself, particularly when others call you anti-American. Why shoot .... you're a much better American than all of them put together. You can tell them that from me, brother!

    I got two - Germany and Japan for starters. The wicked Americans totally wrecked their political systems.

    The Left states that the UN declared the US invasion of Iraq "illegal"
    but it isn't so noisy about Iraq's "illegal" invasion of Kuwait
    or its "illegal" invasion of Iran
    or its "illegal" weapons of mass destruction programs (chemo, bio and nuclear)
    or even, for that matter, Russia's Crimea, George or Ukraine, or China's claim
    to the Sth China Sea, or Arab rejection of UN partition of Palestine.

    If you are going to quote UN resolutions then be fair and quote them all.

    I'm not changing the subject....Lithuania is not a "backwater"....if it was it wouldn't be in NATO/EU? Ukraine is working towards EU/NATO membership....some of Ukraine's military units already meet NATO standards.

    Go ahead....post a pic of yourself Vyacheslav, not just "Don't tread on me"....you trolls have no imagination, stealing others ideas'....post a pic, I won't laugh?:))

    Your answer was vague and made no sense. It's obvious that you're concealing the real reason for your radical flip-flop. If I had to speculate, it's related to your financial situation somehow. Most people who parrot US propaganda are financially connected to the US empire in some way. Either they work for the government or with the government in some way. You probably got a job in the government or with a company that does business with the government. There is some financial nexus in your life to government spending and that is why you went from being a reasonable and consistent libertarian to sounding like John McCain Jr. virtually overnight.
