Also I’d say even in such a suicide scenario for the US, that doesn’t mean it’s a Jihadist victory against White Christians, unless present Russians aren’t largely some variety of White Christian. Orthodox church to be sure, and there seems to be little love lost between them and the Protestant/Catholic axis of most of US Christian faith. That could change though. As is said, no atheists in foxholes.
I think even Putin knows that general America is now not supporting Barack’s tantrums, and would tend to go easy on it. However he will not brook Barack rolling a red carpet for Jihadists up to the Kremlin’s door.
It’s not going to be a matter of whether Christ and His believers win... it will only be a question of how.
I would have to agree with that as a general statement.
I am nowhere near an expert on the degree of Christian representation, or the resolve of that representation, anywhere.
I can make some observations from historical evidence. In background, the Russian Federation does have a higher percentage population of several non Christian minority groups than the US. The Muslim population is about, or slightly over 15%, and exert significantly less influence there than in other nations with a 15% Muslim population, (something to note).
During the about 70 year Communist/Soviet period, the government was adamant in attempting to completely destroy the Orthodox Church, Christianity and religion in the Russias proper. In addition, the Communist learned how to severely control Islam as evidenced by their control of the Balkans (Yugoslavia), while being the rogue of the Soviet proper.
The Russian Orthodox Church survived this period despite being severely limited in activity and property, and much of the Christian legacy infrastructure was preserved. The Church it's self continued with it's traditional teachings.
In the West, the Roman Church slowly but mildly changed toward the liberal with a larger and growing divide between them and other Christians. This, in societies and governments supposedly tolerant of and friendly to Christians and religion.
Currently, the Russian Orthodox Church continues, notably stronger and still very traditional.
My belief is, that in the battle between Communism and the Russian Orthodox Church, the Church won, and in the battle between Communism and Christianity in the hearts of the Russian people, Christianity won.
That is the Christianity that I believe Obama is targeting, he seems to get on fine with the Roman Church and the new Pope, and would support the Pussy Riot sex shows inside the Orthodox Cathedrals by force, if he could.
The Homofascista shills on FR would have you believe that the Russian Orthodox Church survived because they were willingly co-opted by the Communists and they are all KGB plants, but they don't ever talk about the "lack" of Communist influence in the Roman Church in the West. The Homofascista have veracity equal to that of Obama, Clinton, and the Western Main Stream Enemedia.
Comparatively speaking, Communist influence ain't in Russia, anymore.
