If we consider Western Civilization as it is today its moral relativistic, post-Christian form, Eastern Orthodoxy would be more than a small step up.
I’d have to agree, though I doubt Putin is Orthodox-anything.

That cannot be discounted as a motive for those in the West who are trying their best to foment a crisis.
Amen!
