[Do they all want nuclear war?]
My guess is their arrogance coupled with their pride and ignorance is blinding them from the clear truth of the results of their stupidity and fearful folly.
The balance of powers is what we are viewing....I think this will continue and the conflicts for some time....and even war which will involve Russia, though they will be defeated........but ultimately when things get to the point of no return...the conflict will be clearly seen as satan’s challenge to God....we're just watching the ground work being laid.
