I have to not agree with you, even those who mock, like it or not, often the Lord speaks to us.
I wonder if it was the Lord speaking through Putin when he also offered Russia as an example of a defender of traditional values. Putin is engaging in subversive techniques and inactive measures by first, criticizing us, then offering his nation as an example and alternative to the “evil” of America. I wonder what the souls of the 20-50 million Russians murdered by Putin’s Russia would agree.
