Where are Russian orthodox allies? Well, they screwed them all up, that’s why Russians are now in such a beautiful islamic company. They must pause the exercise five times a day just to pray to Allah. We can only imagine what would the mutual “victory” of such associates look like. So where are the Armenians, Georgians, Bulgarians, Serbs, Greeks, Romanians….The only allies that are actually missing are the Croatian fascists whom Russia supported throughout the war in the Balkans not only to please the western “partners’ but to bring down and dismember the orthodox Serbs. Drink your bitter potion to the bitter end.
You are right, Putin is a Zionist controlled opposition.
