Ezekiel 38 war seems to be getting closer, with American and Israel in joint military exercises and Putin rattling the sword of his supersonic ICBM, which he states no one can destroy (video of Mig-31 taking off and missile being deployed).
More on the Iran deal and why Trump's pulling out of the deal would be disastrous for Iran.
The amazing accuracy of Biblical predictions! And more.
But do not be afraid.
Pinging the Amir list.
These are coming more frequently as things seem to be heating up.
I’d actually be rather impressed if someone invented a subsonic ICBM

*sigh* I only clicked post once... never seen a forum with as many double posts as FreeRepublic
The device that is being shown tested is a cruise missile not an ICBM. A subsonic ICBM would have some interesting applications but could never breach the ionosphere and be effective in deploying a payload.
What you are seeing is this or another variant using similar technology:

Behold Israel is my daily read. Thank you!
I’d probably laugh.
I read the NY Times report on Friday, March 8, and what they say is that the missile is hypersonic. I now no longer have the paper but hypersonic is supposed to be 20 times faster than supersonic, so that is why Putin claimed nothing could catch it, I guess.
Amir also seemed just a bit tongue-in-cheek when he was talking about this, possibly a bit mocking? The Times reported speculation that there was a bit of faking going on. A lot of it is campaigning for the election. Cum grano salis, in other words. The audience at the speech seemed bored to death.
March 9, not 8
See for yourself
Putin’s annual address to Federal Assembly
At the 1:15:00 mark Putin describes the state of their military (advanced missiles/weapons), and the crowd loves it...
You don't mock Yom YHVH
A missile would have to be supersonic to get where it’s going that fast.
He probably means hypersonic.
Yes, I noticed the uptick at the dramatic parts.
By the way, the translator at the speech called the missile hypersonic.
the latest from Behold Israel (about 5 hours ago): ·
An invasion of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into the western bank of the Euphrates is imminent.
While Assad’s forces are busy bombing east Ghouta (near Damascus) killing scores of innocents civilians (15 children were killed over the last 12 hours), Syria’s most important oilfield (T-2) guarded by Hezbollah and Syrian special forces was captured by ISIS in a coordinated blast of 4 car bombs leaving 23 soldiers dead.
The United States is mobilizing tanks, armored vehicles rocket launchers and supplies to the region on the eastern flank of the Euphrates where they control three important oil and gas fields (Jafra, Al-Omar and Koniko), however part of the heavy equipment is armored vehicles launched bridges in what seems to be a preparation for an in depth invasion to take ISIS out and gain the control over the oilfield at the same time. Stay tuned!
