Do you believe in the prophecies of St. Paisios? One of his important prophecies: Russia will take Istanbul and give it to the Greeks?

Russia will take Istanbul and give it to the Greeks. And its name will be Constantinople again. One-third of the Turks will die, one-third will be exiled, one-third will become Christians. What do you think?

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If Russia attacks a NATO member, all of NATO goes to war with Russia. Even in the most extreme situations, where other NATO members are somehow destroyed, there wouldn't be much left of Istanbul to give to Greece.

Of course, that's assuming this isn't in the far-off future, when NATO has ceased to exist, but then it's hard to draw assumptions about what the Turks would be doing, religion-wise.

Hilarious, like all these silly conspiracy theories. But at least one I haven't heard before. The question for me is, was this one started by Greeks or by Turks?
