Disagree, it is the enemy. Russia is only one country, Islam has extended it's tentacles into every country.
Yep. Irrational. Who has any real power? The Muslims are dangerous, yet practically defeat themselves. And there are reasons they get spanked in the modern world, every time it really counts. Tiny Israel is only truly threatened by OUR bumbling and inaction. Putin knows exactly what he is doing, and has a mostly successful path and mindset over the last few centuries to go by.
An interesting alternate history would be one in which Russia had not been derailed by Communism. Heh.
