"Prepare for the Worst:  NATO/US vs Russia  Part 2"


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
Much has happened since I wrote Part 1.
 
So much news, hard to keep up.  Here are some recent snips:
 
The Kiev International Airport was evacuated over a bomb threat - Jan 15.
 
Three Russian Baltic Fleet Ropucha-class heavy landing ships have departed from Baltiysk, Jan 15.  (These ships were designed for beach landings and can carry a 450 ton cargo.  Not only can equipment be rolled on and off these ships, but they can be loaded using dockside cranes.  These ships can each carry 25 armored personnel carriers.)
 
Three LST Russian landing ships had been previously deployed by Russia - these were the cause of Sweden ordering their military to high alert.  (LST are also landing ships and can carry 4,360 tons.  They can transport 313 troops and 20 tanks.)
 
Sweden has been redeploying troops to the island of Gotland near Russia (in the Baltic Sea).  Tanks are on the streets of Gotland.  (Why is Gotland important?  Wargames for a Russian attack on the West showed the first move by Russia was to seize Gotland.  Controlling Gotland would isolate the Baltic countries from the West.)
 
Multiple Russian naval ships have been spotted off the coast of Gotland. Jan 14/15
 
Sweden and Finland are threatening to join NATO if Russia attacks Ukraine.
 
Multiple videos coming out of Russian railways still moving military equipment - Shturm-S anti-tank missile carriers, logistics vehicles, military helicopters into Crimea along with the testing of unmanned helicopters in Crimea, Iskander SRBMs missile launchers and associated vehicles moving from eastern Russia, etc.    Jan 15
 
Russia is sending  their S-350 Vityza air-defense missile system to Crimea.  Jan 15
 
Satellite images show much of what is coming out in the news.
 
Drones have been spotted flying over Sweden's nuclear plants.  Jan 15
 
NATO has sent a ship to the Baltic Sea.  Jan 15
 
Russia is conducting "snap military drills" in their Far East.  Jan 15
 
To point out how dangerous this situation is:
 
Russia Could Invade Ukraine This Weekend.  "Several likely Russian actions indicate that Russia could invade Ukraine this weekend.  Images from the Institute for the Study of War show Russian deployments are "moving to even more aggressive positions."  "The Financial Times reports 175,000 Russian forces in close deployment to Ukraine."https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2022/01/russia-could-invade-ukraine-this-weekend.html
 
RIA Notosti (Russia's largest state-owned propaganda agency) reported, "Putin has proclaimed war on Europe.  It is still not too late (for Europe) to capitulate."  Jan 15
 
And to add to the already escalating tensions:  A Russian submarine which can carry 16 Bulava ballistic missiles, unexpectedly appeared off the coast of the United States.  Norforlk, Virginia to be exact. Each missile can carry 10 nuclear warheads...so that's 160 nukes.  Jan 14  "A submarine of this class is capable of destroying most of the territory of the United States of America in minutes."  https://english.pravda.ru/news/world/150057-russian_submarine/
 
 
"Russia says talks have failed, no sense in continuing at this time; massive movement of hardware now taking place."  Jan 13  https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/russia-says-talks-have-failed-massive-movement-of-military-hardware-now-taking-place
 
Russia and Venezuela are considering strengthening their cooperation.
 
The USS Harry S Truman aircraft carrier and battle group is in the Adriatic Sea
 
Latest update: Sweden and Finland have no plans to join NATO.  NATO said Finland and Sweden can be quickly admitted to NATO is requested.
 
Sweden and Finland are already "Enhanced Opportunity Partners, EOP) with NATO and participate in NATO exercises on a regular basis.
 
The WH and DOD are claiming that Russia will create a false-flag incident to justify their invasion of Ukraine.
 
"We have information that indicates Russia has already prepositioned a group of operatives to conduct a false flag operation in eastern Ukraine, said top Biden administration spokeswoman Jen Psaki.  "The operatives are trained in urban warfare and in using explosives to carry out acts of sabotage against Russia's own proxy forces."  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/white-house-warns-of-russian-false-flag-operation-in-ukraine
 
https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/u-s-anticipates-russian-use-of-familiar-false-flag-tactic-on-ukraine-130936389503
 
Of course, Russia has countered this as "baseless and unfounded rumors."  "CNN was the first to report the assertion, followed by the Guardian, Washington Post, Reuters, AFP and Bloomberg."  https://www.rt.com/russia/546095-kremlin-false-flag-ukraine/
 
(CNN was the first to report this?  Personally, I find CNN to be propaganda and a mouth-piece for the Biden administration. It's hard to believe anything CNN reports.)
 
Russia is denying any preparation of any kind supporting a false-flag on their part for the invasion of Ukraine - reports are 'unfounded and cannot be confirmed'.
 
What could this 'false-flag' be?
 
Ukraine intelligence is saying that containers of ammonia were delivered to a plant in Horlivka that a leaking a toxic substance into the atmosphere...they believe Ukraine will be blamed.  Jan 14
 
Also "Russian-led militants release toxic ammonia in Donbas, provoking red-flag fears."  "The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine stated that the container of ammonia gas on the site of the former Stirol factory have been depressurized, leading to gas leakage and posing a threat to the environment."  "Chemical pollution could lead to an environmental catastrophe in the east of our country," the statement reads.  
 
"On Jan 14, the U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan warned that Russia was preparing a pretest for invading Ukraine.  The statement was made following a week of diplomatic talks between Russia and the West that resulted in no resolution and ominous threats from Moscow."  
 
So who knows what/who will actually be blamed on kicking off this war.
 
As for China/NK:
 
The USS Carl Vinson carrier group is in the South China Sea.
 
"North Korea tested a railway-borne missile in its firing drills on Friday, state media KCNA said on Saturday, amid a U.S. push for fresh sanctions against the isolated state following its recent series of weapons tests."  Jan 15  https://www.nbcnews.com/news/north-korea/north-korea-tests-railway-borne-missile-latest-launch-amid-rising-n1287561
 
"The Federal Aviation Authority confirmed Tuesday that it temporarily grounded flights across parts of the West Coast after North Korea test-fired a ballistic missile." "It appeared to be even more advanced than a "hypersonic" one the north launched less than a week ago, sparking international condemnation and a closed-door meeting of the United Nations Security Council.  News of the launch immediately sparked FAA orders for a ground stop at airports across the West Coast, which is closest to North Korea."  https://nypost.com/2022/01/11/faa-halted-us-flights-after-latest-north-korea-missile-launch/ 
 
In NK's latest missile tests, they tested a railway-borne missile...this rail-based system "was designed as a potential counter-strike to any threatening forces."  "Since New Year's Day, North Korea has launched three ballistic missiles in an unusually fast sequence of weapons tests."  
 
China, NK, are preparing for battle.  Many believe China will move on Taiwan, when Russia attacks Ukraine.  And China has told us for years now that Taiwan is just a decoy, their real target is the U.S.
 
"World War 3 fears are mounting across Europe with the continent closer to conflict than it has been any time in the last 30 years....there has been a risk of major military escalation in Eastern Europe for several weeks.  Tensions continue in Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, and Moldova, all countries with active or frozen conflicts."  A dire warning was given to the 57 members of OSCE - Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.  https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/world-war-3-fears-rise-25934588
 
By refusing security to Russia - which Russia is requesting in writing from NATO/US - "Washington has opened the door to war."   The US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said "the threat of a Russian invasion is "high"".  "Russia has repeatedly denied that it is planning to invade Ukraine and insists that it military movements in the regions is in response to increased US and NATO activity.  During the talks this week, the US and NATO rejected Russia's demands for NATO to halt its eastward expansion."  https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/sullivan-chances-russia-invades-ukraine-high
 
In this rising threat, there are those that see NATO/US as the aggressors and those that see Russia as the aggressor.  It's very hard, knowing the propaganda on both sides, what is really going on.  But whatever it is, it's not good.
 
It's highly possible we will see an escalation in the Russian troop buildup next to Ukraine from some 100,000 (already being reported as 125,000) up to 300,000.
 
With various players around the world (China, North Korea, Iran, etc) war in Eastern Europe could easily precipitate into conflicts around the world.  Countries taking advantage of 'the situation'.  This could even provide 'the hook' for Gog to invade Israel.
 
This situation is fluid and dangerous.
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
 
Maranatha!
