[Amen. While I anticipate being safely with Christ during the horrific judgment on earth, I know it will be a terrible time.]

That’s why I believe as well. People better hope pre-trib is correct because they ain’t seen nothin’ yet (with apologies to Bachman-Turner Overdrive)

I believe Jesus was telling the truth when He said it will be the worst time on Earth ever seen nor never will be again.

A mini-preview was just performed on 10/7 and that’s so horrific in description I’m afraid to look for the video if it’s even out there. I imagine it would be pretty difficult to unsee.

Putin and his party/state see Europe on the hi-way to a EU Caliphate, A Caliphate that in the future will have nucler weapons.

“When these idiots get their war they’ll take the rest of us down with them.”

More likely is Russia will fold like a cheap suit. They’re akin to the schoolyard bully who preys on those smaller and weaker than he is but who runs away to momma when someone’s big brother shows up and beats him down like he deserves.

“Nothing provides a good distraction like a World War.
Idiots.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Kremlinists started this war in 2014 already, as they stole Crimea from Urkaine. The world let it happen, nothing was said...
Thus, here we are today, with an enlarged war, and the potentiality of WWIII if we continue trying to sleepwalk our way out of this...

I didn’t forget what I never knew.

Regarding Ukraine, the targeting of civilians is a war crime. One on top of many. Before you criticize the speck in your neighbor’s eye, you should concern yourself with the beam in your own.

Be interesting to see how their 12,000 or so troops do against Russia’s 1.5 million.

More curious to see how high a kill ratio their fleet of 38 F-35s can pull.

It is well known the the Ukrainians, like the koranimals, hide their military assets behind civilian infrastructure like malls, apartment buildings, and schools so stfu.

Notice the big scramble of countries trying to get into BRICS++++++. Several are being officially admitted on Jan. 1. They’ve shown which side they’re on. Of course, they still have their hands out for US aid $$$$.

Does anyone know the need for WWIII?

I say this as one friend to another. Russia will not fold like a cheap suit.

Russia has, indeed, folded in the past. Think of the near revolution following Russia’s defeat in the Russia-Japan War of 1904, the revolution following Russia’s defeat by Germany in WWI, and the revolution in 1991 following Russia’s defeat in Afghanistan. So, your thinking is not entirely wrong.

But, these were long and hard fought wars. Those wars exhausted a limited economy, and the defeat of Russia could not be denied to the people of Russia.

Today, Russia has its people thinking it is winning a war against all of NATO in Ukraine. For example, before we delivered one M1 Abrams tank, the Russians were told they had destroyed hundreds of them. Ditto Patriot missile batteries and F-16 fighter jets. The Russians were told they had destroyed many times more than the number we delivered, before we had delivered any. Yes, the Russian people know they are taking huge casualties, but to them it is in a great patriotic war.

A big part of the aggression of Russia is that we have a feckless president. In the face of American weakness, aggressors are emboldened all around the world. It is like the Iranian hostage situation of 1979. The hostages were released by Iran only after Reagan was elected, as Iran had no idea what Reagan would do. The world needs an American president who has a policy of “peace through strength.”

It’d take longer to roll those tanks into the Netherlands than it would to push a button to send a nuke halfway around the world. Two minutes later, all those border countries will fall to their knees begging Russia to take them peacefully.

WWIII is long overdue. The history of mankind is one of war. But since the end of WWII, the number and extent of wars has been limited. This time of relatively few wars is mostly due to a U.S. policy of peace through strength. From time to time, under presidents like Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden, the U.S. has acted with weakness. These have been times of war and aggression.

If you want WWIII, you want a weak U.S. A weak U.S. will precipitate aggressors advancing until they must be resisted.

"If Putin conquored all of Europe and threw out the middle easterners and re established Christianity what would history think of that?"

Obama said - "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

And he also said, "The Future Must Not Belong To Those Who Slander the Prophet of Islam."

So, I guess we can assume it would deffinetly PO the "Magic Negro" to no end...

WW3 will fail to teach Americans anything then.

This will be a very local war. It won’t be fought by armies facing armies…or even by nuclear exchanges. It will be fought locally in the West with the enemy forces being the massive 5th column that has been embedded throughout Western nations by its own greedy and corrupt governments. It will be a war of large- and small-scale terrorist actions - reminiscent of the Oct. 7 attack in Israel - that will collapse a weak and fragile West.

All of the action will be quite local.

The Neocons need to get their lies straight.

Russia is weak and on the brink of collapse—and Putin is dead or will die any day now.

Oh wait—Russia is gaining in strength and will crush Ukraine and attack Western Europe any day now.

Lol.

I like the older more honest version of that saying; “Peace through superior firepower”

Yesterday’s violation of NATO airspace by a Russian missile requires a response. But it’ll be ignored and the Russians will do it again.
