Now, I am not calling him saint, but then we have to remember that when John McCain denounces someone, that person just may not be worthy of being denounced.
Slyfox, please don’t fall for the classic “enemy of my enemy is my friend” fallacy. If you truly cared about Russia, you’d want them to have even a modicum of the Rule of Law and Freedom present in this country.
This country was NEVER designed to be a utopia by the way, unlike what theirs was supposed to be for a whole century under communism.
Our founding fathers were not delusional Marxists attempting Heaven on Earth. They knew the system they were building was for an imperfect people and an imperfect world.

His demise for them came when he outlawed gays being allowed to adopt Russian children. For me that is a huge plus.
Slyfox, he banned ALL Americans from adopting period. And it’s caused untold amounts of pain from aspiring (heterosexual) parents who were far along in the process.
And the “anti-gay thing” is a diversion tactic used to draw disenchanted conservatives in the west towards their agenda — the way the Soviets used superficial promises of “racial equality” paradise as a tactic to draw disenchanted blacks in the west to their side in decades prior.
It’s sad that conservatives have become so self-loathing as Americans that they actually fall for the lies. America is not perfect, but the Christian fabric underlying the civic institutions and culture in this country is way stronger than it is in Russia —which in a few short eyars will pretty much have to start from scratch all over again once Putin’s system finally caves. His state, is still far more rooted still in Bolshevism than any faith.
Russia has a LOT to overcome. And as I stated in prior post, it currently has the fastest growing and highest HIV rate in Europe. Sure it’s largely due to drug addiction, but they’re the last people I want lecturing me on sexual practice and health.
And one more thing: Russian orphanage conditions are terrible. And its Christians and volunteers from groups like the Salvation Army which have much to care for the children and do a lot of the social work on their behalf.
Just as its Westeners in cooperation with underfunded, overworked Russian medical workers dealing with the massive HIV epidemic the Russian govt has been trying to shove under the rug.
