If Russian troops are asked to intervene in the case of Muslim uprising in Western Europe, the plea for assistance could conceivably come from two countries with strong rightist movements: France and the Netherlands, as well as the Flanders region of Belgium. Voter frustration with establishment politics is high in these areas, and it is not inconceivable that Marine Le Pen, Geert Wilders, and Frank Vanhecke could acceed to leadership roles in a Western European wave similar to Donald Trump in our country. France, the Netherlands, and Belgium have huge, unassimilated Muslim minorities that could erupt into an intifada type situation.

This is where Putin's outward embrace of nationalism and Christian religion may pay off. Throughout the conservative (including FR), libertarian, and white separatist blogospheres, there are numerous defenders of Putin, seeing him as the sole remaining enemy to the Western political, cultural, and financial establishment and its secularist and multicultural goals. I can see the French, Dutch, and Belgians, faced with internal war and lacking the numbers of brave, physically fit young men to fight the Muslim hordes, asking for Russian military assistance..

The Russians, in both the Soviet era and now, have supported secular Arab nationalists, such as the Assads. They may do so again, in the name of traditionalist French and Dutch governments
