It’s not necessarily because they are Christian. The woke pervo globalists are anti any traditional religious nation that the globalists can’t control. Eastern Orthodox, Islamic, Bible believing Catholics, etc., the people calling the shots in DC distrust and target all religions they haven’t co opted. In this sense, the globalists ape the communists of last century.

Under Communism, from Stalin to Gorbachev, homosexuality was considered illegal, pornography was not readily available, and narcotics were prohibited. During the first few years of Bolshevism, moral decadence was encouraged, as it is currently in this country, with the purposes of weakening the family and destroying the Russian Orthodox Church. However, the Stalinists, coming to power about a decade after the October Revolution, realized that moral anarchy was undermining the social fabric. So they reinstated the laws restricting sexual license. They were not Christians; the Communists continued to persecute believers harshly until World War II necessitated restoring the Orthodox Church in order to get the Slavic peoples to fight the Nazis.

The post-Soviet Russian government never repealed the Stalin era laws passed by atheists to strengthen the USSR, unlike the Western nations that repealed restrictions imposed by once Christian legislatures. Putin sometimes goes to church. But so do Biden, Pelosi, Obama, etc., yet most on FR would deny the American politicians are Christians.

More significant are the facts that Russia is closely aligned with Red China, the Russians maintain close ties with Communist controlled nations from North Korea to Venezuela, and the relics of Communism, such as the red star over the Kremlin and the prominence of Lenin's tomb in Red Square speak more of Russia's true orientation than a Russian leader publicly making the Sign of the Cross occasionally.

I laugh at the Putin bots who get all worked up about the tranny/homo stuff. Listening to them, one would think there are lines of trannnies standing outside Sunday church trying to recruit new members.

Trannies amount to 0.03% of our population. Thats 3/10 of 1%. The number is so small as to be insignificant. The gay population remains around 10% of the total population.

If you haven’t figured out that the far left is leveraging this whole issue to generate the kinds of reactions from you guys—so they can point at you and show how “unhinged” you are. And it’s working.

Russia is an oppressive dung heap. Demographically, it is old and dying. It is sick and drunk. Their factories are running on fumes. Their currency is less valuable than toilet paper. If they are “more Christian” than the west it is because they are crying out to God for deliverance.

The best way not to overreact to the leftist crap, is not to react at all. Instead, look at it for what it is—a tool to make you look the fool.

And its working.
