Re: We all know that this has been a sensitive situation
Russia in some ways is far more FREE than America, and I can tell you that with confidence. At least you can't go to jail or lose everything if you flirt with a woman and make a comment about her beauty, and so on ;)
On a more serious note, America does indeed look more and more like the formerly tyrranical regimes of the recent past, like preWWII's Germany, and the U.S.S.R., etc. I agree.
I also agree that when Israel starts being divided up more, or dealt the devils hand, all CHAOS will break lose... I am watching for the time when it's announced that Damascus has been smashed (brought to rubble) and American and Israel are badly hurt... (per my interpretation of God's Word ie. Bible Prophecy).
It saddens me greatly... but reality is reality. It is the worst the to face, and unpleasant at that.
