"Great news": Under pressure from the West, Bulgarian police indicts Dinko Valev - the man who gained some prominence as "refugee" hunter, after singlehandedly capturing dozens of illegal migrants/potential terrorists:
Just dropped my husband off at American Airlines in Texas - glad he's not traveling to Europe.
I do wish people would engage their brains before they engage their keyboards.
It might have been reasonable to say you were glad he wasn't headed to Brussels, or even to Belgium.
But to Europe? Do you realise how silly that makes you sound? That's like me hearing that there are tornado warnings in Georgia, and declaring 'crikey, I'm sure glad I'm not going on holiday to Philadelphia!'
Sadly, this tragic event shows that while most Muslims follow their religion reasonably, the Koran explicitly promotes violence in many parts offering sacred excuses for some people's exactions. For these terrorists Islam serves the purpose of frustration channeling just like "revolutionary" people used and abused Marxism's "proletariat's dictatorship" during most of the 20th century. Nowadays Marxists have removed such violent concepts from the doctrine. The problem with Islam is that the Koran is regarded as the full, direct and definitive revelation of God and therefor the real believer cannot interpret nor edit any of the text. The real Muslim has to accept all of Islam unconditionally. This explains why those saying that terrorist aren't real Muslims, while having good intentions, are wrong. It is going to be very difficult to reform Islam, and our fellow Europeans are paying this theological discussion's price with their lives
So, just to be clear - Russia is propping up Assad on the orders of KSA? If that's what you're saying, then you are quite the analyst!
Well who cares, Russia is interested in oil money from Iran, as well as SA and other Muslim countries.
SA also buy Russian guns. Which is what matters, and not the anonymous dictator Assad.

So, what your analysis dissolves into is 'all elites are interested in money and power' - which is true, but also not much more than a truism...

No.
You're taking my words out of context and exaggerating.
I'm just saying Russia aren't different in this regard. There's no reason to see the US as the bad guys, while Russia as savors of Christendom or whatever.
I also disagree that elites as you call them are all involved into this: I'm not saying anything about Japan, China, Israel or other "elites".
