This probably had a lot to do with little Mikey finally doing his job. The Russians have been persecuting, arresting, beating up, and worse the evangelicals in Russia and occupied Ukraine, because they’re not Orthodox. This looks like it ended up being a monstrously stupid thing to do just for this reason, but the RU army is either too ignorant or too undisciplined (or porque no los dos) to actually stop themselves.

Is this really the reason, or just the excuse he’s giving why he changed his mind to his constituents and fellow GOPers? I’m not surprised one bit that Russia is persecuting Evangelicals like they’ve been persecuting members of all “non-traditional” religions (including members of Hare Krishna, etc.).
