WELL, about Putin....
I am NOT at all confortable with him, not supporting him.
But if any of his talk about Christian faith, Russian culture, etc... is at all accurate, it will be a step for the better.... both for Russia and for our long-term relations with Russia.
provided, of course, Obama’s Transformation of Amerika can be stopped and reversed (repatriation of enemies he’s importing en masse, etc.)
otherwise, Russia may return to Christianity at the very time USA is being Transformed into yet another IslamoNazi Krapistan?
just meandering a bit.
it is late and I am going to bed.
I am not arguing anything, just that the olde gray cell tends to meander as the moon rises, is all.
take it or leave it, its ok. No fights from this quarter.
Good night,

It’s something I’ve certainly pondered, if things keep playing out in their current direction... a future where a depraved America has turned decidedly anti-Christian and comes to twistedly view its evil and decadence as a “moral good” to be globally championed... and a Russia going in the opposite direction with a mix of Christianity and nationalism which has quirkily been seeded in the culture by otherwise nefarious and self-serving dictator Putin.
Sounds like the narrative of a dystopian sci-fi novel. But witnessing America grotesquely devolve into such abject moral degeneracy and rot these past few years, scenarios like this no longer seem so far-flung to me.
Russia can’t “return” anywhere. Even before Communism, the Russkies were committing mass murder against folks. Violence and totalitarianism run deep in their veins! They even have fantasies that Joseph Stalin was a late convert to the Russian Orthodox Church, and that he was a hero in his life time who only murdered “5th columnists.” Russia is a degenerate nation, an outright enemy of God, a brutish wildman among more civilized nations.
Case in point, these “Christians” in Russia, and also those invading Ukraine, are actively persecuting Catholics and Protestants because they aren’t Russian Orthodox. In Ukraine, in fact, they have kidnapped, tortured and executed pastors, taken over churches, targeted non-ROC Christian owned businesses and taken them over.
What does Russia return to if it returns to its pre-Communist past?
The answer: Just another form of barbarism which is its historical norm.
