Donald Trump 'recruited by KGB in 80s and even has codename', claims former Soviet spy
A former Soviet intelligence officer has claimed Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” The bombshell allegation was made by Alnur Mussayev, a former Kazakh intelligence chief, in a Facebook post. The 71-year-old, who previously headed Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, said he had served in the 6th Directorate of the KGB in Moscow, which was responsible for counter-intelligence support within the economy.
This is one explanation why President Trump shows deference to Vladmir Putin, repeats Russian propaganda, and is pursuing the normalization of relations with Russia from which the United States stands to gain nothing but Russia stands to gain a great deal. Trump's most recent actions appear to serve Russia's interests more than they do those of the United States.God’s Answer is “Yes” Even When It’s “No”
...there is always, always, always a reason to pray. No wonder the Bible tells us to pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17). But even though we have every reason to pray, all of us have prayed for something to happen - someone to get well, some provision to be made, some circumstance to change - and nothing happens. In fact, sometimes the situation we are praying about seems to get worse. So even though we are in great need of something, and even though we are convinced God loves and provides for us, and even though we bring that need to God in prayer, it seems like His answer is, “No.”
