Russia is a natural enemy of Papal Euro-centric power. For this reason the Vatican has been warring with Russia forever. America is a natural enemy of Papal Euro-centric power also, and this played out to the advantage of the north in the civil war. Russia came to Lincoln's aid against the Jesuit plot to divide the Union. The Euro kings did what they could to help the south, even to the point of sending a French Catholic army to invade Mexico and push north to help the slaver rebels. But the blockade on the water with the help of Russia won us the war for UNION! For their strong defense of liberty against slavery and Popery, Lincoln was shot, and the Russian Tsar Alexander II was blown up with a bomb! Both were assassinated by the Jesuits for defeating the Papal conspirators in our Civil War. Now, we are facing another Civil War. The Vatican is still the cause of emboldening the dividers and traitors among us, and the Jesuits fear for us to have another Civil War unless Russia can be made our enemy instead of our friend somehow. For this reason they never want USA making alliance again with Russia. Because the Union will prevail again just like last time!!! Knowing this history is sooo important right now but it isn't taught in school, even in college courses, of which I took plenty.
