Our relations with Russia were going well until obama got elected.
obama aligned with muslims == CAIR, muslim brotherhood, etc.
obama, hillary, huma, etc. .... yeah, it’s easy to see what happened with our relationship with Russia.
Russia has more Muslim allies than we do. Especially because the former Soviet space includes Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan...but add to them Iran, Syria, Pakistan, Sudan, Libya, etc....
Russia also has more Muslims within their own borders.
Putin has said Russian Orthodoxy as more in common with Islam than with Roman Catholicism or Western Christianity.
