Coronavirus worry sparks searches
for ‘prayer’ to skyrocket: ‘Religious
coping’
(Jeanet Bentzen, an economist at the University
of Copenhagen)
"The rise in prayer intensity supersedes what
the world has seen for years," the report said.
"The COVID-19 is still far from its peak and it
only just reached the developing world.
Furthermore, as more and more people lose
their loved ones, the demand for religion is
likely to rise. It is highly likely that the rise in
prayer intensity will continue."

The Iranian regime now has enough enriched
uranium to refine and build a nuclear bomb

create one nuclear bomb. Moreover, "the

to possible undeclared nuclear material and
nuclear-related activities at three locations in
Iran," according to a recently published second
report by the IAEA.

Russia is historically prone to internal collapse,
as is shown by numerous examples from both
the imperial and Soviet periods. The collapse
usually takes place as Russia rests on the
laurels of recent military victories while
internal economic and social troubles grow.
History teaches that the best way to deal with
Russia is to keep intervention to a minimum
and wait for its internal troubles to bring about
its collapse.
