I get the impression that +W is trying to emphasize how Russia's patriotism (and to a lesser extent perhaps, religion) has caused them to help both Europe and Russia. Even communism did not destroy their love of their country. I think that we have patriots here too, but it seems more ingrained in Russian culture than here, for some reason.
Exactly. We Americans have trouble understanding cultures that are 700+ years old because our country is so young, and is a melting pot of many cultures/ideas. American does not have any unified religious culture, because we've never been a strictly catholic country. At best, we are a pro-natural law, God-fearing nation.
But Europe and Russia's cultural history is so intertwined with Catholicism that they cannot be separated. To kill Catholicism, you must wipe Europe/Russia off the face of the earth, which is what the globalists have tried to do. They've tried multiple world wars, fascism, socialism, communism, mass immigration, etc, etc. But God won't allow it.
So that leaves only one conclusion...Europe/Russia will survive and so will Catholicism in those countries. The Russians have already reached "rock bottom" (similarly to Poland/Hungary), which is why these countries are seeing an increase in pro-family, pro-country, nationalist attitudes. And anything pro-Poland, or pro-Hungary, or pro-Russia will (eventually) lead to pro-Catholicism, because in re-building the culture, you will necessarily re-build the foundation, which is the Faith.
Europe, as many prophecies say, won't hit "rock bottom" until cινιℓ ωαrs break out and many people die. Just like during the French Revolution, it will take blood in the streets to get europeans to hit their knees and convert. But when they do repent, it will be powerful.
