That first civilian Russian plane being shot down was a hint, then the murder of the Russian ambassador in turkey and now this. This is no coincidence. They're mad coz' Russia is interfering with their plans to knock down Assad in Syria. Let me tell you this, quit wasting your time. God has abandoned you and is getting ready to rake the coals with you! Your destruction is at hand! So do yourselves a favor and cease now! You can't and won't win! God is your enemy and you literally don't have a prayer! You've committed too much evil and condemned yourselves! So your day is over! That's what this is all about! Russia, don't be discouraged for God is with you not the evil white establishment of the west and God is getting ready to totally destroy them. So keep your chin up, and know that God will deliver a stunning victory in your favor!

The Alexandrov, which also includes an orchestra and dancers, also known as the Red Army Choir, created in 1928.
It takes its name from its first director, Alexander Vasilyevich Alexandrov, who wrote the music to the national anthem of the Soviet Union.
Responding to news of the disaster in an interview, celebrated Russian actor Vasili Lanovoy could barely control his emotions as he explained the ensemble's significance:
"When I was a kid, during the [Nazi] occupation in 1941, I heard their 'Stand up, great country' for the first time, on the third day of the war.
"And when I heard yesterday, I was stunned. I think it is a great ensemble and it needs to be revived. It should not disappear."
She was on the flight to deliver medication to a university hospital in Latakia.
In the Russian capital, she is mostly remembered for feeding, clothing and providing medical care to the homeless people who sleep in train stations.
"Liza Glinka helped the people that everyone turned away," human rights activist and opposition journalist Zoya Svetova, who knew her, told AFP news agency.
She was also known for evacuating sick and injured children from the war-torn separatist regions of east Ukraine, for treatment in Moscow.
Her actions in Ukraine brought her the enmity of some on the Ukrainian government side, who went so far as to accuse her of "abducting" children, while she was also criticised in Russia herself for her political views.
But tributes were paid to her right across the political spectrum in Russia.
Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the former oil tycoon jailed under President Vladimir Putin, said: "She was ready to lay down her life for what she thought right. And she did so. Our disagreements are in the past. May she be eternally remembered."
Margarita Simonyan, head of Russian state broadcaster RT, wrote: "Dr Liza was a person who attracted nothing but admiration. Not for herself, it was never about her, only about the sick."
Just a few weeks before the crash, Dr Glinka was quoted (in Russian) as saying: "We are never sure we'll come back alive because war is hell on earth."
Their deaths became the subject of a furious row on Russian social media after socialite Bozhena Rynska suggested on Facebook (in Russian) that some of them had been killed as divine retribution for past misreporting by pro-Kremlin media.
Her comments are now being investigated by Russian prosecutors, an official told Russia's Ria news agency.
