I’m assuming that to be the case from what I see and read. For instance, God being on their side might have something to do with their not having a “community organizer(TM)” in charge of the Kremlin...
The article headline isn’t supported by the contents of the article. “In the new war of beliefs, Putin is saying, it is Russia that is on God’s side. The West is Gomorrah.”
It’s my belief that even Putin isn’t so conceited, and foolish, as to say that God chose to be on his side.
Who would want to live so defiantly and dangerously?
