pray we don’t have to live under the boot of it for the rest of our lives. Soviet Union didn’t last forever, neither will this.

Also, things move at warp speed these days, compared to the 1980s/1990s.
We had a big sat dish during the 2nd Russian Revolution and we could get the unencrypted news feeds as well as the editing booths for the major networks. No sound on the feeds, but it was something we won’t forget: burly guys who looked like union thugs stoically and methodically piling up rubble and lifting those little Russian cars into barricades is one image imprinted on my brain. There was a USSR one day and then...there wasn’t.
Not to denigrate those who have been murdered, but considering the population of the USA, it’s not yet a horrific number. Add a prayer that we won’t see mass casualties in the thousands in the urban centers. So many simply have no idea what is going on and don’t connect the incidents we’ve seen to date. If they did, the panic might be worse than the Cabal attacks.
I was watching Live TV when they took Gorbby away. Saw Yeltsin demanding his release. Watched the tanks moving down the streets-wondering if they were going to attack their own people. Sigh of relief when they didn’t.
At least they told me it was Live feed. It was an amazing time.
IF a city's Christians banded together and in unity fasted and prayed, they might be spared for a time--maybe long enough to disperse. Otherwise, I don't see any hope or exceptions for large metropolitan centers.
Probably not that long after Trump's 8 years. But I hope that's wrong.
