Thanks for this info!!!

“Nineveh was an ancient Assyrian city of Upper Mesopotamia, located on the outskirts of Mosul in modern-day northern Iraq. (NOTE verse 8)

NAHUM 1:1-8

1
This message concerning Nineveh came as a vision to Nahum, who lived in Elkosh.

The Lord’s Anger against Nineveh
2
The Lord is a jealous God,
filled with vengeance and rage.
He takes revenge on all who oppose him
and continues to rage against his enemies!
3
The Lord is slow to get angry, but his power is great,
and he never lets the guilty go unpunished.
He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm.
The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet.
4
At his command the oceans dry up,
and the rivers disappear.
The lush pastures of Bashan and Carmel fade,
and the green forests of Lebanon wither.
5
In his presence the mountains quake,
and the hills melt away;
the earth trembles,
and its people are destroyed.
6
Who can stand before his fierce anger?
Who can survive his burning fury?
His rage blazes forth like fire,
and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence.

7
The Lord is good,
a strong refuge when trouble comes.
He is close to those who trust in him.
8
But He will sweep away his enemies
in an overwhelming flood.
He will pursue his foes
into the darkness of night.”

[[Engineers from an Italian company have been tasked with fixing the Mosul Dam’s foundations ]]

Oh they are so screwed .
I can see it now , they are reinforcing it with pasta and cheese.

The lake behind it needs to be drains and they are not going to it . It will blow one day.

[[Has it not occurred to anyone to open wide the floodgates NOW and start draining the reservoir?]]

That’s the advice real engineers gave them but they don’t hear it.

As there are over 1.5 billion Muslims in this world who believe their God demands that they kill me and my family, I find it hard to mourn the loss of 1.5 million Muslims.

Keep an eye on that dam and the city of Mosul (ancient Nineveh )The dam is built on the wrong type soil for a dam.
They have refused the advice of real engineers to drain the lake behind it .There used to be many Christians in Mosul , they were forced to flee or be killed . The scripture star & stripes forever quoted is dead on.

Noah is in Heaven, but he left his boat on Mt Aratat if someone needs it.

If ISIS were to kill 1.5 million people with this plan, you have to go nuclear on their asses.

Where do you propose we nuke?

How did they ever think it a good idea to build a dam upstream of all the country’s population? Read detailed article on New Yorker, I think it was, earlier today, that paints a rather dire picture of the situation. Idiots built dam on gypson, which is now washing away. Might kill a million people when it collapses, which seems quite possible. Hope there are no US troops downstream when this happens.

I’ve heard all gates and valves are broken and frozen shut. Otherwise that’s exactly what would have been done by now. Also, Baghdad (and the US Embassy on the river) will be flooded with mud, sewage, bodies, etc. That just *might* finally close the place.

Riyadh, Saudia Arabia for starters, then move onto Raqqa. That should get their attention and hopefully prevent them from attempting mass killings.
