Whether he is a christian, only God knows, but he has been to Mt Athos and publicly states he is an orthodox christian. I haven't seen that from a US president for years, nor any other supporting measure to back it. They don't allow degenerates to parade in their streets and corrupt the society and youth - very wise and also christian. He is for the sovereignty of his country, he disallowed the selling off of many capital and business functions of the former soviet states to outsiders (harvard boys do russia) which is largely why jews and thus the US don't like him, etc.
He is a great leader, regardless of what you say, and I just gave several reasons why. Think again.
The generally accepted figure is about 5% of Russians are actually religious. A large number say that they are Orthodox, but that us more of a general feeling of historical Russian-ness rather than any actual religious belief. You haven't seen any such claim from a US president because thus far none og them have been Orthodox. Note the capital "O".
Yes, "degenerates" are not allowed to parade in the streets and neither is anyone else that Putin and his cronies don't approve of. Russia is not a democratic state. It's a semi Police State and people only have they rights that their masters choose to allow them. I don't think you can characterize, dishonesty, theft, naked aggression and general oppression as "Christian" traits. Maybe you practice some other kind of Christianity where those are considered virtues. I don't know.
Yes, he did prohibit selling of national assets to foreigners but because he preferred to sell/gift them to his cronies who support him politically and financially; While there are no accurate figures, it's generally believed (by Russians) that Putin is worth several to tens of billions of dollars.
And no, he isn't a "great leader". Look at the conditions of Russians in the years since 2014 which was the last Russian invasion of a neighboring state. GDP growth has stagnated or fallen; average income is down; the ruble has depreciated against other currencies; FDI is very low and really only comes from China which is not a good sign; and corruption is higher. In fact, Ukraine, long a poster child for corruption, is less corrupt that Russia (122 vs 136.)
And your antisemitism is noted.
