I think that this is basically right. I would add that it is a nationalism which 1) aims to cultivate a rise in the standard of living, 2) promotes sound financial and development policy, 3) recognizes that borders and sovereignty equate in terms of jurisdictional integrity, and 4) that no society can thrive in chaos.

The biggest thing Putin accomplished was a shift from Soviet ideology to re-instituting the Russian Orthodox Church as a basic point of moral reference. The one thing we in the West should understand that One World Woke Globalism hates, demonical hates Christian religion. Why? Because Wokies cannot and will not tolerate any religion which is an obstacle competitor to its presuppositional world view. That is, in the Wokie universe, separation of church and state really means marginalization of Christianity ahead of outright elimination.

Exactly right.

The problem is in Russia the church is run by the state. It’s a dead religion. They preach their own woke gospel. The chief executive is so wealthy he makes Zelensky look like a plebe.

The chief of the Russian Orthodox Church said dying in Ukraine will cleanse you of your sins.

Where in the Bible is that?
