“Buchanan argues that Putin is a Christian and Russia is now a Christian nation. “
No, he doesn’t. I’m not a Buchanan fan, but reading his original piece, it’s clear that he’s saying that Putin is USING Christianity and portraying himself & Russia as strong believers in Christianity.
btw - this ia all 3 1/2 months old.
I see nothing in the original article that suggests Buchanan sees Putin as a cynical "user" of Christianity, but, on the opposite, of actually being its champion, as he says so directly. Can you please provide why you think otherwise?
