All those “innocents” that those “tyrants” were slaughtering... in hind site now look like Muslim extremists and the heinous acts.. those tyrants are accused of committing against their own people ... now seem in retrospect to have been simply the actions needed to be taken by anyone to fight the satanic scourge which is Islam.
If you look at maps of Russia, it contains about 30% land mass that is Islamic. Much of Russian architecture comes from Islamic influence. Russia knows the dangers of islam.
It seems to me in hind site that the Russians were the only ones who saw Islam for the threat is was and have been the only ones (along with supposed tyrants across the middle east) willing to do what was necessary to keep them in check.
Putin hoping in the sack with Death to America Islamic theocracy Iran is a funny way of showing you understand the “threat of Islam”. Putin is just fine with a Russia friendly Shia caliphate in the ME. Buy a clue, FRiend.
