If Russians assist Taliban with arms and training as Americans assisted Mujahidin’s during the USSR administration of Afghanistan, the Americans would have been defeated long time ago. Not only the Russians are not assisting the Taliban but they allow Americans to use Russian territory for deployed troops supply and yet Americans are losing the War. By the way, no one can compare themselves with Alexander the Great as he was the only one in our history to pacify this part of the World even without heavy Rothschild’s funding and legal opium trafficking.

Having no vision is always dressed in “following some great past” or some biblical derivative crusade junk. The fact is that western political management – whoever being its leader - oversells “the path of death” and when encounters mercy – gets wild. But mercy is the last human encounter. It is the real wellspring of hope and the reason why all “paths of death” stream into Russian spiritual estuary. Russia is the only evident mystery of the political structure of the world. She is emanating the inspiration of her politicians drinking from the own wellspring. Fascism never resurrected, remained the matter of murdering. Russian communism – unlike East European irresponsible trash – has been transfigured into the new hope. No one ever expected that, even Russians. There was no formula, no project, no vision – but happened amid the historical heartbeat of Russian tragedy. This is Russian credit for bailing out our thirsty souls.
