What do you think of the scenario in post #92?
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
