“Much of the conflict between the West and Russia is about the Roman Catholic contempt for Eastern and Russian Orthodoxy.”

BINGO!!

And Western 'Christians' are ignorant of their own religion. They're 'doing it' all WRONG'!

Just as just about everything else, on this planet, 'Christianity' had been USURPED, after the split from Eastern Orthodoxy.

'Western Christians' are actually SATAN WORSHIPERS, and they have no clue!

Don- Your posts are excellent, however I take issue with the following: "Apart from doing nothing to prevent the increasing atrophy and collapse of the SAA, Assad did nothing to rein in Israel, which has been bombing Syria non-stop for years" Maybe nothing at the end, but for the many years prior, it did not have the full assistance of Russia to stop the bombing for the years prior to several weeks ago.

Russia, for all of its assistance to save Syria in 2015- and it did save the country- never used its S-400's to shoot down Israeli F-35s or its missiles that were attacking Syria or the Iranian troops in Syria, and Iranian generals were complaining. Admittedly, that was at a time when Iran and Russia were not close as they are now. Still, they could have been used even to shoot down the planes after they had crossed the border to Lebanon to continue attacks against Hezbollah, or after they crossed the border back to Israel. They would have had a right under international law to do so- and that would have made a difference. However, Russia was still trying to retain a relationship with Israel, that only changed this past year after Israel's blatant genocide of the Palestinians to seize Gaza and its offshore gas reserves, the value of which is currently estimated at over a trillion dollars, and would alone have sustained a Palestinian State.

It seems that the S-400's were deployed to protect the Russian naval base and other Russian assets in Syria, and not Syria during the years that they were deployed there.
