Russia's problem is that it only allies herself with commies and in this includes arms sales, money laundering and drug trafficking, and has a historically bad relationship with other Christians. But they are reasonably wise about keeping their country more or less anchored in the Christian faith. I also think the Russian people are rude to their own people, some in total misery, while oligarchs (most of these Jews) live in luxury, drugs and prostitution. I think Putin is overrated, he couldn't even stop the lockdown.
