He’s ex-KGB who uses the Orthodox Church as a prop for keeping control of the state and ensuring his own power. He’s a Commie in spirit.
I disagree that Putin is "a Commie in spirit." He's a nationalist and an opportunist. He supported the Communist Party when it was in power. Now he supports the Orthodox Church because it has more power.
However, his goals are neither Communism or Salvation. His goal is a strong, healthy Russia, with himself as the top strongman.
Luckily, the Russian people benefit from a strong, healthy Russia, even if Putin does skim some money off the top.
By contrast, the people who rule America -- in Government, Media, Big Tech, and Academia -- hate America, hate and fear the American people, regard us as evil, and want to destroy us.
George Bush was CIA, Clinton, Obama, and likely McCain were CIA. The CIA controls the news, the movies, FB, Google and Twitter.
