you are correct about everything that Putin has done, and there is more about how Grozny was destroyed... etc
at the same time there were some godly leaders in the old testament who also did terrible things
so, i am not sure what to make of putin, other than i think that people who question his religious commitment are on dangerous ground
Putin is unapologetic about his Christian faith which is more than you can say about many in north america
Putin is also unapologetic about his tyrannical ways.
I’m sure Mafia hit men can be unapologetic about their catholic faith - for whatever that’s worth.
Doesn’t mean I’m going to hold them in esteem for it.
