ujm > That was excellent. Halevei we had that maaila today.
That seems was the position of Chabad Alter Rebbe who supported the czar against most other Rebbeim who welcomed Napoleon (that and RealPolitik that the czar is not going anywhere). Similarly, R Schach writes that we should thank Hashem for making Arabs antagonistic to early Zionists – otherwise, there will be widespread assimilation in Palestine (aside: seems like R Schach cared about those Zionists more than some here).
Of course, however great is to piggyback on czar’s army to ensure compliance with yiddishkeit, I have a feeling that is not the Torah ideal. We have mitzvos to establish our own free society, not ask Pharaoh to ensure we eat kosher.
