God can use a pagan Babylonian king to advance His purpose in the world, so sure He can still use evil men, in spite of themselves. And Putin can use religion like a good chess player uses his bishop. The end game remains what it has always been. Raw power. I have sometimes thought Obama was not a Muslim mole, but a KGB operation. Geopolitically speaking, this is all working out way too well for Putin to be entirely accidental. Enjoy the moment, but watch your 6.
