That is disturbing.

I am sure that they would especially like the current lyrics to the Russian National Anthem , which describes Russia as being a holy country protected by God

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (Vova is the nickname) represent a right-leaning authoritarianism, based on nationalism, "traditional values," and efforts to make Russia relevant following its 1990s' weakness. In part reminiscent of Louis Napoleon (Napoleon III), he represents a type of corporatism. He comes from the siloviki (members of security-military). These American right wingers do not know anything about the history or culture or who this man is and what he truly epitomizes. He is not really religious but he works with the conservative Orthodox Church to exploit its connections with the many small villages throughout the vast Russian Federation.

I read about that earlier and it made it clear to me that it is their Christian agenda that they are supporting! The Christians have made it their life’s work, ‘to spread the gospel to every corner of the earth!’ However, they simply do not understand the Russian historical and social complexity! THEY...are being used! And, easy targets...THEY are, because on the whole, they are not critical thinkers! They follow rules, and their ‘clan!’ AND, they are willing to ‘die’ for those 2 ideas! The ‘rest,’ of us, be damned!

Nope. When this all goes south (and it will, eventually), 45 is exposed, and
Putin goes wherever Putin goes, the religutards will just give themselves a
"mulligan" and keep on truckin'.
That's what they do.
