The CIA - a charity organizationReader comment on item: Thoughts on the Syrian Downing of a Turkish Warplane Submitted by Ianus (Poland), Jul 24, 2012 at 23:34 M. Tovey wrote : > At first, I thought that these cycles of debates in which you are trying to hammer home some conspiracists' theories of a United States State Department sponsored state terrorist strategy would lead to little in the way of constructive conclusion; but after thinking about it, yeah, I still think so.< You consider Bosnia and Kosovo as well as the US-Saudi alliance to be "some conspiracists' theories" , don't you ? Fine ! By the same token I will consider the CIA to be a charity organization. > Do not misunderstand; the United States does bear some significant culpability in the world scheme of things, but they are not alone and they do not represent the worst of what is about to happen, yet. Still, you have summarily dismissed many of the circumstances I have observed, so we'll leave it at that.< That might sound fine were it not for a tiny circumstance that the US has some 800 known military bases worldwide while Russia has just a single one left. As to what is the worst, then maybe as a Christian you have enjoyed the destruction of churches and monasteries by your government's jihadist allies ? For me with all my skepticism about Christianity this is by far the worst I have ever seen. Well, support your government and you will see more burning churches. In Egypt after the 'Arab Spring' farce it is Coptic churches that are burning now. In Syria there are also enough churches to level to the ground or change them into mosques or latrines as in Kosovo. > But, when the Russians lead a coalition into the Middle East to retrieve their goals and objectives, then this conversation might take on a little different color; so I'll wait for that. You needn't worry; it'll not be long to see how my version of the scenario will work out…..< The difference between the Russians and the Americans is that that former don't destroy kafiri lands to create new Moslem states while the latter do exactly this.
