:::I don't know of a single Christianized country that is authoritarian in the sense of having tyranny and has high church attendance. Jesus was not in favor of tyranny which is why most Christianized countries are not ruled by tyrants (Jesus said things like "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them." - Matthew 20:25). And if you don't have high church attendance in a society, you are going to have things like a high level of divorce, drunkenness, AIDS epidemic which are things that Russia has.

:::Furthermore, Jesus said, "He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword".  Jesus and Christianized countries are not for imperialistic wars which violate [[Just War Theory]]. Russia has paid a high price in both casualties and national treasure as far as the war in Ukraine.

:::And as far as whether or not Ukraine could win the war and gain back all their land, while winning the war to that extent is not likely, it is not impossible either. Russia is having significant economic problems. In addition, as time progresses the war is becoming less popular due to the casualties and slow territorial gains in Ukraine. If you add growing economic problems, Putin could eventually have problems. In the last 100 years, Russia has had 3 revolutions.[https://www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/are-russians-really-long-suffering] Already in this war, the paramilitary group The Wagner Group, was heading for Moscow in terms of a rebellion.
