A silly conclusion, but understandable with wrong data. Here's a secret for you... do you know that there are "ultranationalists" in Russia who are big fans of the Russian Orthodox Church? Maybe not that surprising. Nationalists are like that (but we conservatives are Patriots, FYI, there is a difference.) And did you know that these "ultranationalists" are publicly communists or "National Bolsheviks"? And did you know that these same National Bolsheviks support "Red Orthodoxy"? IOW, Communist Orthodoxy?
And did you also know that these same champions of Communist Orthodoxy also support.... paganism, and the occult in general, like Alexander Dugin?
Ladies and gentlemen, it is not wise to project our own world on the backward and bizarre world of Russian politics.
What I do know is that 80%+ Russians support Putin and Putin is leading their democracy well . Signing on for Flat Tax, banding gay propaganda, cleaning up public lewd language, promotes family, against gay marriage, speaking up for Christians worldwide ...it goes on and on.
On top of all that he has to defend his country against a fascist regime in Kiev that yearly parades and honors WW2 SS storm troopers.
While we have a country, run by Shumers, telling Americans that if you don't pass out abortion pills, you can't do business in the US.
Question, who's on the right track?
