[Balthazar]

Iraq needs absolute, roman-style monarchy. Any republican form of government won't be sustainable there without creation of totalitarian system.

The Christians turn to Putin while Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev turn to Hussein and the USA for Snaps, Grants, Gifts, and Asylum......
Throughout the history, Christians of the mid. east have always relied on Russians and they have always helped the Christians. USA never ever has.

[Leina]

As old saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

[Rigon]

That's because Putin dares to defend Christianity in a post-Christian Western Civilization. Obama is a cold fish who must be wrapped in newsprint and sent to perdition.

[Marlo Stanfield]

I think they are going to be disappointed.

I highly doubt that Putin is going to sweep into Iraq and save them from ISIS.

Putin has quite a bit on his plate at the moment.

[zolace]

Democrats are responsible in great part for the mess in Iraq for their continued treasonous lack of support of the war on terror, allying themselves with the godless, hate-filled, leftist media while constantly undermining the need to destroy Islamic terror!
So when Christians are slaughtered in Iraq, the Democrats made that happen, starting with their hatred of George Bush, followed by their hatred of doing what is right!

[noviapriani]

The Russian Orthodox (Christian) Church is very powerful and does not flaunt like the Pope. If Putin gets involved allot of Christians will be saved throughout the M.E., and Obama's true anti-Christ colors will then shine for the globe to see.

[Balthazar]

Assyrians, copts and other christian minorities are orthodox christians too. Orthodoxy is an oldest branch of christianity nowadays. Unfortunately, they were persecuted by papists and muslims for ages. That's why christian majority became a minority in the middle-east.

The Iraqis have more faith in Putin than Obama. Putin is open about his Christianity while Obama seems to be ashamed of it while propping up the need for more muslims in America, at NASA, saying he will side with muslims when the political winds change, etc.

Really? Is this a new development?

The ethnic cleansing of various Othodox groups have been going on for many decades, ever since the NATO (which is essentially an alliance of the Catholics with the Muslims) was formed. It is evident from the conflicts in Kosovo and Iraq.

You really think NATO has a religious agenda? That's the first time I've heard that.

  No, of course.

I mean that some branches have became extinct.

I wouldn't say that NATO itself is a religious organization. But some of their money sources are directly affiliated with religious organizations.

Ohhh...oldest. Yeah. I don't know what I was thinking but I thought you meant it was the largest.
