There is cooperation between these nations, i.e. Israel won’t sell arms to places like Ukraine and the Republic of Georgia and in return Russia don’t sell arms to Iran. In fact, Russia has bought significant amounts of military hardware from Israel starting 2009, some of it being used in Ukraine today.
What? Russia just sold SU-35 jets to Iran. Iranian junk drones rain death on Ukraine. The cooperation here is between Russia and Death to America Iran. They are two American patriot hating peas in a pod.
I didn’t interpret comments from old yeller as suggesting any hostility between Russia and Israel, he was simply pointing out that the most common interpretation of the Gog-Magog prophecy (Russia, and perhaps its allies which could include Syria and Iran, invading Israel from the north). This leads to the battle of Armageddon and the intervention of Christ (in many overviews of all prophecy). But old yeller was probably going no further than to suggest that none of that has yet happened.
I added the observation that if you take Ukraine as being Gog, or Putin as being Gog of Magog, then you have possible ways of interpreting the Ezekiel prophecy (repeated in condensed form in the Revelation). Thinking about it further I realize that Gog would more logically be Putin than Ukraine because it seems that Gog AND Magog invade (rather than Gog fights Magog).
Anyway, the more general question of who is winning this unfortunate war? Nobody but arms dealers and profiteers, it would seem.
