Hi John and Doves,
A short 5 minute video clip in the link. Full of excellent information about the current "war games" happening in the Black Sea. For the first time, watching this video clip, we are seeing Russia's reaction to the Sea Breeze exercise. This is not just about showing Russia just who is boss. Oh no! There is a massive dispute between Russia and Ukraine about a fresh water crisis. Crimea is suffering drought conditions and desperately needs Ukraine's river to be allowed to flow through to Crimea. In fact - there are a range of issues at stake. Making this current situation almost a guarantee of imminent war.
This is a dangerous chess game we are watching. Russia has started it's own "drills" close to where the Sea Breeze exercise is happening. It seems they have begun playing a lethal game of "Chicken".
Whether any side will back down and let this entire debacle slide, is wishful thinking. Putin is right about this, saying that the onset of a world war won't happen. Both sides knowing that neither can win such a war. But, let's face it - what is happening is a stand-off for control of the Black Sea and Ukraine. I cannot see either the USA/NATO Alliance backing down....just as I cannot see Russia backing down. If this goes further - I can truly see Russia teaming up with China and Iran to plump out her armies. It wasn't that long ago that Russia, China and Iran conducted drills in the Indian Ocean !! Please see 2nd link for a very good article on this.
If the world draws battle lines - along the patterns we are seeing, it stands to reason that Israel will be attacked. Anything Iran is involved with ensures this.
Maranatha, LORD Jesus.
