I don't claim that Putin is entirely on our side, but he is opposed to radical Islam. Mostly. I'll happily take him as an ally.
I can see Trump and Putin, down the road, being Allies in the fight against Islam, just like WWII.
As I understand it, Putin has given a green light to Christianity in Russia and it is now flourishing, the Eastern Orthodox Church. From Wikipedia: "Christianity in Russia is by some estimates the largest religion in the country, with nearly 50% of the population identifying as Christian. The largest tradition is the Russian Orthodox Church."
Hopefully, Christianity and church attendance will flourish here the next eight years. . and beyond.
