Based on the past few years, it sure seems that way. They don't cave to the sodomite lobby. Their top guy might be a bit of a tyrant, but he clearly has the best interests of his country at heart, and he doesn't embark on groveling, useless, apology tours. They also seem to espouse some reasonable financial good sense (e.g., debt is not good; reducing taxes is beneficial to economic growth), as opposed to our lunatics in D.C....And for a bunch of former atheists, they seem to support their Orhtodox church fairly strongly....
Damn, the world is upside down...
I’d rather have Putin than Obama.
