National Review's Victor Davis Hanson, reporting from Greece --
How that need for friends [of Greece] translates is also strange: a willingness to take a very unEuropean taking to Putin, the fellow Orthodox, who promises gas and oil deals as a price to nodding to his harangues.
So the Russians, although Orthodox, are not European. Who else has he classed this way? Serbs, eastern Ukrainians? It also makes for a very strange notion of Christian history, as played up by the likes of Victor Davis Hanson, in which it was the eastern churches that were on the frontline against Islamic empires.
