I don't doubt that Putin's embrace of Orthodox Christianity is part of a strategy to prevent the Islamification of the Russian Federation. Modern women don't have big families like traditional women do, and if Russia doesn't do something about it, Muslim demographics will be the downfall of the Russia-led federation.
The problem with Muslim domination of the political sphere is that the most motivated, regressive factions of Islam eventually rise to the top. Same with Christian countries, to be honest. I love most of the values in both religions, but I don't want religious zealots running my country. Most Christians and Muslims are gentle folk, who value love, learning, and tolerance. But they always get pushed aside by more fanatical, power-seeking minorities within their ranks.
You're endorsing the Maidan coup in 2014? You're endorsing the expansion of NATO eastward? NATO countries are notorious for regime-change foreign policy. The Russians didn't and won't forget the bombing campaign in Kosovo by Bill Clinton.
Anyway, our foreign-policy brain trust don't need to invade Russia if they can topple its government. They're also encouraging the forward deployment of nuclear missiles, which would scare me, if I were Putin, especially since Trump pulled the USA out of the INF Treaty (Intermediate-range nuclear forces = INF), no doubt on the advice of the neocons in his cabinet that he was fool enough to appoint.
Anyone who looks at the strategic basics know that Russia is not in any shape to attack Europe. Anyone who knows history, knows that Russia's been invaded twice in the past two centuries from the West. Anyone who knows history knows that the USA tried to overthrow the Bolsheviks in the late teens and early twenties of the last century.
Not a fan of Lenin or Mao, but their rise to power was the direct result of incompetence, corruption, and general misrule by the regimes they replaced.
