As Berlin Freepsr pointed out:

Russia has more than twice the Muslims of any European country.

Plus nukes.

And ethnic Russia’s demographic crisis and low birthrate is no secret.

Among other problems, like having the highest HIV rates in Europe and 3rd fastest growing epidemic in the world.

But unlike many, I don’t think Russia is on permanent decline. After Putin it will recover and be on the upswing.

But at the heels of America and the West.

Aina Gamzatova: The Muslim woman challenging Putin
Gamzatova heads Russia's largest Muslim media holding - Islam.ru - comprising television, radio and print outlets, writes books on Islam, and runs a charity.

Her husband, Akhmad Abdulaev, is the Mufti of Dagestan, Russia's troubled province where a confrontation between fighters, clans and federal forces has killed thousands.

While I don’t know the details of the Russian media, I will say that if they’re even HALF AS CORRUPT as our own media (attempting to force the outcome of an election, and then, after failing at that, attempting to depose the duly elected president), I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with Putin shutting them down.

In fact, I would have NO PROBLEM, with Trump shutting down our media (most of it, that is), if the accusations of collusion with the Democrats to rig our election and their attempt to depose Trump are true...which they, of course, are.

The First Amendment was NOT for the purposes of enabling the control of elections, or for overthrowing the duly elected president.
