Ruth made a pledge to her mother-in-law Naomi
"Whither thou goest I will go and where thou lodgest I will lodge; thy people shall be my people and thy GOD my GOD." This is the King James version..the one I prefer. Other versions use different words but the meaning is identical.
The don is obviously Naomi and all his peeps are Ruths. They will follow him anywhere he goes including to he**. They will live wherever he lives however hot and intolerable it is. Those he can stand they will embrace. Whomever he worships (Putin for one) they worship as well.
Biblical references rarely come to light today in living color. This is one of the most glaring of them.
