That's because Putin is the sugar daddy of an actual Mohammedan terror state - Iran.
Putin is willing to support those Christians and so far as I can see, all Christians.
As much as I think you're right about Bush, I think you're short-sighted when it comes to Putin. Once KGB, always KGB.
“I think you’re short-sighted when it comes to Putin. Once KGB, always KGB.”
Well, I didn’t say I trusted or liked him. Putin is a Russian nationalist; he is no promoter of democracy and his political theories owe more to Nicholas II than Edmund Burke. Putin is, however, a man who is willing to do what is necessary to advance the interests of Mother Russia which he identifies with the Russian Orthodox Church. Bush isn’t willing to do what is necessary to advance the interests of the United States and certainly isn’t interested in advancing the interests of Christianity or Judaism, though he has shown a great tenderness for Mohammedanism.
Oh, and those Iranians; bad bunch...but unlike Bush’s pals in the Iraqi and Kosovo governments, they aren’t killing off their native Christians.
