Major War Brewing With Russia?

We know that Russia is going to be a big player in the very Last Days.

So it shouldn't surprise us that they are taking center stage as we watch all the signs transpire that Jesus told us to watch for.

It also shouldn't surprise us that all the headline surrounding Russia involve WARS AND RUMORS OF WAR.

Global Anti-Russia Campaign Is Taking Us Dangerously Close To Disaster

The expulsion of 60 Russian diplomats from the US, along with dozens of others from various other countries, should be a sobering moment for all of mankind. It’s a sign of how close to the brink of a major war the world is coming.

To start with, this current episode is not comparable to the 55 Soviets expelled by Ronald Reagan in 1986 or the 50 or so thrown out by George W. Bush in 2001. Those actions were directly related to spying activities – which all governments engage in, directed against their friends as well as enemies. The Russians do it, the Americans do it, everybody does it. There’s nothing remarkable about cutting the numbers down now and then, particularly after a major embarrassment like the 2001 Robert Hanssen scandal.

But these latest expulsions have nothing to do with how many of the Russians might be actual spies. Nor with the nonsensical accusations of Russian election interference to “sow discord” and “discredit democracy.”

In fact, they have almost nothing to do with the US State Department’s unsupported claim that “Russia used a military-grade nerve agent to attempt to murder a British citizen and his daughter in Salisbury.”  The absence of evidence that the Russians were behind the attack is no more relevant than repeated, equally evidence-free accusations of chemical weapons use by the Syrian government. Whatever happened to the Skripals and whoever is behind it, Salisbury is a mere pretext.

No, the real purpose is much simpler. Decrying the American action, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov stated that he had told his US interlocutors that “the United States took a very bad step by cutting what very little still remains in terms of Russian-American relations.”

But severing the last vestiges of that relationship is what the expulsions are designed to do. Disrupting US-Russia ties isn’t a means to an end – it is the end.

For several years, many commentators and analysts have pondered whether the US and Russia are already in a new Cold War, and if so when things will get better. The crystal-ball gazing can now stop. The answers are all too clear.

Yes, we are in a new Cold War and have been for some time. Indeed, it is foolish to think that on the US side the first Cold War ever really stopped. As long as we had a puppet government in Moscow under Boris Yeltsin in the 1990s, we could do as we pleased. Plunder Russia’s resources with the assistance of corrupt oligarchs installed by Western “experts.” Expand NATO to the east after promising we wouldn’t. Bomb Serbia. Invade Iraq. Expand NATO some more. Stage regime change operations in the name of “democracy.” Declare that Ukraine and Georgia will be members of NATO.

As for the second question – no, things will not get better. Perhaps never.

What about President Donald J. Trump, the man who is supposed to be the Leader of the (anachronistically named) Free World? Hasn’t he repeatedly said he wants better relations with Russia?

The answer is supplied by the former State Department spokesman under the Obama administration, Admiral John Kirby, who said the expulsions were “… embraced by our European allies because they’ve been worried that with some of the things they’ve heard or haven't heard from this president about Russian President Vladimir Putin means he might be soft on Moscow. But this tells them that the national security professionals they’ve been talking to behind closed doors really have held sway and the US policy is following what they have always promised, which is to crack down.”

Perhaps Kirby overstates how much some of our European satellites really want more confrontation with Moscow, but he’s absolutely right about the role of the “national security professionals” operating “behind closed doors.” Make no mistake, of all of Trump’s 2016 heresies against the bipartisan establishment, none was of more concern than what seems to be his sincere wish for a new détente with Moscow.

Those behind this global campaign think we can treat Russia as though it were a minor power of the magnitude of Serbia, Iraq, Libya, or Syria, or even Iran. They think if we just keep pushing, pushing, pushing, either the Russians will collapse or back down. They can see no other acceptable outcome than removing Putin and returning Russia to the condition of a Yeltsin-era vassal state – a term Putin used in his interview with Oliver Stone – or, better yet, its territorial breakup along the lines suggested by the late Zbigniew Brzezinski.


Things are going to get worse. Maybe a lot worse.

I have written about a "Black swan" event in previous posts.  A "black swan" event is something that literally comes out of the blue and no one saw it coming.  Like 9/11.  We all sat with out mouths agape and said, "Wow!  Who knew that angry Muslims were capable of such things?"

Just imagine what would happen if we woke up tomorrow and read that Russia decided to retaliate against "Western aggression" by taking over some islands off the coast of Alaska?  Maybe the only thing on the islands are a few Eskimo hunters and a hunting shack.  That would be a "black swan" event that would instantly send the financial markets tumbling.

And then how would the FEDERAL RESERVE act to stop us from falling into recession?

They might have to slash interest rates to keep the borrowing machine operating.  And where do they go when interest rates are already at or near 0%?

They have no choice but to go NEGATIVE INTEREST. (NIRP)

And then this would lead to a further war on cash as people flood to banks to pull out their money and the FED has to come up with ways to punish those who try.

Can you now see how $100 bills may be declared as NOT LEGAL TENDER to make it hard for people to hold/horde cash?

Can you now see how the FED may follow through with the suggestion to put magnetic strips in all $20 bills so that they can even charge you negative interest when you HOLD cash?

Can you now see how it's very possible that the world is on the edge of a CASHLESS SOCIETY exactly as the Bible said it would in the very Last Days?

Pretty darn exciting time to be alive!  Just imagine if WE are the generation that never sees death but goes right from this flesh costume and exchanges it for glory in the twinkling of an eye!! 

What a day that would be!!
