As the West continues its decline due to wokeness and open borders, Russia is seeking to strengthen its ties with the Muslim world. So is China.
In 2019, Putin stated falsely that Islam and Orthodox Christianity have the same values.
For decades, the red-green axis has worked to dismantle Western democracies from within, and the alliance is now manifesting itself more powerfully on an international level.
“Turning away from the West, Russia seeks to strengthen economic ties with the Muslim world,” France 24, May 16, 2023:
The Russia-Islamic World Forum will begin in Kazan, southwest Russia, on Thursday. The two-day event was first held in 2009 and aims to strengthen economic ties between Russia and Muslim countries. In the wake of a rupture between Russia and the West, these ties are now part of a shifting world order.
The decision to hold the 2023 edition of the Russia-Islamic World forum in Kazan is symbolic: the capital of Tatarstan, located some 800km east of Moscow, is seen by the Russian state as a successful example of multiculturalism and peaceful religious coexistence.
Russia is home to some 15 million Muslim citizens “in the sense that they belong to ethnic groups with cultural foundations linked to Islam. Not all are believers or practising Muslims,” according to a report from the French Institute for International Relations.
As a whole, Muslims make up 10% of the Russian population, with most living in the Caucasas [sic] – the area of land that separates the Caspian and Black Seas – and the Volga-Ural region.
Muslims have lived in Tatarstan, in the Volga district, for centuries and the Tatar population (descended from largely Muslim Turkic ethnic groups) is Russia’s largest ethnic minority group….

This is really no surprise to readers of the Bible Book of Ezekiel. In the 38 and 39 th chapters, the Prophet describes a time when the nations “north” of Israel, gather with their armies, see the good land, and attack to take “much spoil.”
One nation named is, in its modern name, Russia; one named, Persia, is in modern times, Iran. Others to the “north” are also named. Syria would like nothing better than to invade Israel, and Iran has threatened to kill every Jew there.
The Bible is around 6,000 years from its beginning and has been accurate with other prophecies; some similar to this one about war, why, who and which side would win.
And biden and crew have given Russia plenty of reason to avoid doing business with the U.S. No normal person does business with another who wants them dead. biden threatened putin.
All of these nations involved are “beasts.’

The West is currently in a free fall due to what is stated in the article above. The West is susceptible to the aggressiveness of neo-Marxist and Islamic fascism which makes their statements of human rights etc. hollow and non-sensical.
That Russia and China seek alliance with the Muslim world is quite another story. They stand their ground for the better or worse. But neither are intimidated by Islam.

I wouldn’t say that. The Chechen war ended w/ Moscow agreeing to let Chechnya be a sharia state within the federation
Not just that, Russia has alliances now w/ all the top islam leadership countries – Turkey, Saudi Arabia & Iran. Their domestic jihadis have nowhere to look to for inspiration thanks to this brilliant move from the Kremlin

At the end of President Trump’s term, the islamic world was genuinely splintered in a 3-way contest b/w Saudi Arabia, Turkey & Iran. Now, thanks to the way Biden has mismanaged relations w/ both those countries as well as Russia, we now have a consolidated islamic bloc, despite their deep internal differences. And Russia well in the arms of China
On top of that, they’re making moves that make a WWIII inevitable. And given how they’ve been depleting our military, it’s not obvious that we’ll be the winners of such a war
2025 cannot come soon enough

Totalitarian Regimes seeking out friends/allies with other Totalitarian Regimes.

It is a false understanding that Islam and Orthodox Christianity have the same values. But when Vladimir argues from his position of strength, you’re not engaged in the same kind of useless servile dialog which emanates regularly from the USCCB.

I wonder if our American government will stop the flow of American made weapons and foreign aid that we supply these countries?

Especially Turkey, which is actively playing both sides. Sorta like Pakistan did during the war in Afghanistan
