The Russians have never not been a friend of America. They have always supported regimes which fought against the United States. Have you seen any changes? The only change I saw is that the Russian began to allow themselves to interfere in the internal Affairs of America. Before, I don't remember.

Russians have supported secular regimes instead of Islamic fiefdoms. Look at Syria. Bashar al Assad is the last remaining secular ruler in the entire Middle East. Russia is right in supporting him.

Yeah and Assad let's Christians live in Syria in peace... He even protects them... Can you say that about the militants/ rebels?

The rebels are mostly hardline Islamist factions. Previously, they have even committed genocide against fellow Muslim minorities such as Alawites, Ismailis and Kurds. You can imagine what will happen to the Christians if these people come to power.

Nothing good will. I do not understand how for so many centuries, the Christian community could live in Syria. Or the early Muslims were more peaceful? In any case, it will be hard to live because peace in the middle East will not be a very long time.

I feel as though the sectarian violence has always been a feature of the region; this occurs whenever there are multiple religions /ehtnic groups (for all practical purposes) cohabitating closely. What is new, is the level of violence that can be achieved with modern technologies, and the level of media dissemination each attack can achieve given the state of communications today. This always happens, essentially. It's just escalating, like everything else does over time.

Also, the radicalization efforts would be localized, social media makes the threat of remote radicalization much more severe.
