It is you and your ilk that bash American Christian ethics and traditions. The status quo is not acceptable for it is a sell out of American interests.

Russia, having experienced the thuggery and immorality of Communism, has turned away from that godlessness and through the support of the Holy Church is attempting reform and return to the traditional Russianess of the nation.

We would do well to ally ourselves with Russia. You otoh can stake out your silliness in Eurabia or wherever else you feel welcome.

It is you and your ilk that bash American Christian ethics and traditions.

The usual tactics of advocates of Serbian ultranationalism and Putinian quasifascism (there is a great overlap between the two) are threefold:

(1) Avoid reasoning over the facts like the plague.

(2) Tell sweeping lies.

(3) Make all arguments personal.

In one sentence you have achieved a perfect combination of the three.

The status quo is not acceptable for it is a sell out of American interests.

So it would be in American interests to allow Putin to pursue his own interests without criticism? That's manifestly ridiculous.

Russia, having experienced the thuggery and immorality of Communism, has turned away from that godlessness and through the support of the Holy Church is attempting reform and return to the traditional Russianess of the nation.

So you claim. Of course, there is scant evidence of this. What there is evidence of is the reemergence of dictatorship in Russia and of Alexius II following his namesake's tradition of collaborating with dictators.

We would do well to ally ourselves with Russia.

Russia would do well to ally itself with the United States. However, Putin has chosen to cast his lot with Iran instead.

You otoh can stake out your silliness in Eurabia or wherever else you feel welcome.

You keep using that phrase: "Eurabia."

Arabs constitute a tiny percentage of the EU's population - so I assume you mean Muslims in Europe, i.e. the Pakistanis and Bangladeshis in the UK, the Turks in Germany, the Berbers and Arabs in France, Spain and the Netherlands, the Persians in Denmark and Sweden, the Albanians and Arabs in Italy.

As it turns out, the UK is 3% Muslim, Germany 4%, France 4.5%, Spain 3%, Holland 2.5%, Sweden 2.5%, Denmark 2%, Italy 1.5%.

And Russia?

10% Muslim.

That's right: 10%.

And native born Russians have lower fertility than any of the aforementioned nations, despite their already abysmally low fertility.

Every problem you associate with Western Europe: growing Muslim population, declining nominal Christian population, very low participation by the nominally Christian population in the life of the Church - is all worse in Russia.
