    The Syrian National Army has been ordered to prepare for a large-scale offensive. SNA is Turkey's proxy.

    Erdogan, supervised by MI6, enlisted the support of Britain and the United States in Syria, in exchange for the unhindered entry of Sweden and Finland into NATO.

    NATO aggression against Russia will not be limited to the invasion of Ukraine.

    The time for the fulfillment of biblical prophecy (Is.17:1) is near. NATO carrier groups are still in the Mediterranean.

    @Konstantin, The USN has had a presence in the Med since the early 19th Century. So, there is nothing new here.

    The US actually fought the Muslims there in the early 19th century. Not that many Americans know that fact, but Marines, and a few orhers do

    The prophecy of Is.17: 1 was not fulfilled in the middle of the 19th century. It will be fulfilled after a missile strike by the NATO aircraft carrier group on Damascus.

    If Russia had not invaded Ukraine then Russia would not be the world pariah that it has become.

    If we would not have tried to push Ukraine into NATO so our billionaires could make money they wouldn't have needed to invade. We didn't want their missiles in Cuba they don't want our missiles in Ukraine. If they were early warning system that does not give them time to respond

    Looks like they really made a major mistake when they went into Ukraine. Now they have NATO on more of their border. You can think what you like but invading another country is wrong no matter who does it.

    Your reason for justifying the invasion does not hold water but I am sure you will stick with it.

    You going to fight them to the last Ukrainian. I am glad the Russians don't think like that.

    Or… the Ukrainians fight them until Russia gives up, then declares victory anyway, and slinks back to Moscow thoroughly humiliated.

    Someone slips Putin some special kool-aid, and someone else takes charge.

    peace to you

    Doesn't sound like a sound policy. All you had to do was agree that Ukraine was not going to join NATO. Instead you try this idea? I don't know canadyjd. It doesn't sound like a great plan.

    It’s not my policy, or my plan. I have no say in what the US does in foreign policy. I would prefer all US troops come home.

    However, Russia violated an agreement with Ukraine to respect its borders in exchange for giving up its nuclear weapons.: first by interfering in their elections, then invading Crimea when their guy was rejected by the Ukrainian people, then stirring conflict in eastern Ukraine by supporting Russian rebels and now invasion.

    The US and Britain were also part of that agreement, promising aid if Russia violated Ukrainian borders. Good plan or not, it’s what all agreed to.

    Putin does not get to decide who joins NATO. If you really believe he would have left Ukraine alone if NATO denied membership, you haven’t been paying attending to Putin. If he weren’t making all his neighbors nervous by his war mongering, they probably would have been happy like they were.

    Peace to you

    What would you do, roll over like a scared dog and hope to get your belly rubbed? The Ukrainians will fight to protect their homes from the invading Russians. Would you do less to protect your home?

    No. The United States will soon become a world outcast - "as a whale in the seas" (Ezek.32:2) and its satellites.

    "...After the victory “in Carchemish”, in the world there will appear a new pole of power, which will instantly attract to itself the Nations which were a part of it before, as well as countries of the third world. People from Eastern Europe, who used to be free and respected, became keeper-homes, builders and prostitutes in the EU. They will not endure such a relationship to themselves, because they will have a refuge from “a whale in the seas”. And the third world peoples will finally stop to live in fear of misbehavior by the USA, from waving them by a cudgel around the world.

    The world will be divided between two poles of power. It will become bipolar. This time we will pull down the iron curtain. There will be made a worthy informational opposition to the liberal values, the liberal economic model..."

    "...
    So, it is impossible to rid of this dragon quickly, but it is possible to deprive it of opportunity to eat, condemning it to starve death! “Golden billion” will cease to be it, if the rest population of the Earth, six billion, comes out of the dollar zone fully, refuses to use a dollar and its derivatives in calculations. According to the conception of “many people”, a dollar of the FED should be deprived of its status as the world currency, and the USA will be deprived of a control over world trade. So far it is their native element. There will be introduced the World Reserve Currency, which will not be the national currency. This question had already been discussed at the meeting of leaders of the BRICS. The Eurasian Union and the countries of the BRICS will intercept initiative in the economy, politics and finances. And it will be made neither politicians, nor the peoples, but God Himself will do it.

    Word of God says:

    “Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.
    Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee”.
    (Ezek.32:3-4)

    “But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.
    And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven”.
    (Ezek.29:4-5)

    The Lord God will easily pull this “whale” out of the sea, just as a fisherman catches a fish. This time there will be no mercy!..." A “company of many people”

    You don't believe the Bible.

    No. I wouldn't have the war in the first place. Don't allow the "U.S" to put pressure on us to join NATO. Fight the Nazis instead of letting them dictate what your country does. Don't liquidate those that aren't with you. One of Russias goals is to destroy Nazi brigades who have terrorized Russians in the East. It had a friend removed in a bloody overthrow 2016 and a tool of the West was brought in. The agreement to not join NATO was broken and here we are.

    We as Americans should never support Nazis. Anyone can see that's evil.
