JUST IN - U.S. European Command raised its watch level from "possible crisis" to "potential imminent crisis" (the highest level) in response to the buildup of Russian forces on the border with Ukraine (NYT)

This guy is admittedly out there and throws a lot of stuff out to see what sticks and hopes he can say he was right. 98% of the time he's wrong.

But I take it as a piece of the puzzle with grain of salt. He's been posting a lot about russian armor being moved into crimea, donbass and Belarus. Something out of the ordinary is going on.

I don't think Putin is messing around this time. He knows the U.S. is at one of it's weakest points in history with who is not leading the U.S..

It's been said by President Obama and his Secretary of Defense, that the current puppet in charge, knows less then nothing about foreign affairs.

Unless our puppet moves military towards Crimea, Putin will follow through with his plans, because the E.U. won't. Putin has done it before.

by Dave58 Wed Mar 31, 2021 2:15 pm

I don't think Putin is going to slow down any time soon... If Russia and China become team we are going to get screwed..

I think China will keep taunting Taiwan until we get drug into the middle of it and Russia will slide in the back door which I think will be Canada there is far to much attention on the southern border.......

Of course that is just 1 scenario...

Russia takes the UK and China come in thru Canada and Mexico is another....

I have even been hearing grumblings about negative interest rates coming soon.....

Folks better learn how to grow, harvest and preserve their own food...

China and Russia are in it to win it. I posted something of the same under China or Russia last week. But here's another tidbit to read. They mean business and that shouldn't be a surprise. Surprised

The moneymarket.com report says the U.S. is alarmed about the Russian aggression in the Ukraine.

I agree with ya Drink, let the E.U. do their share, because they'll be next. Heck, we can't even keep our own borders (southern) from people coming in. Again, this administration is asleep in their bunkers, with sand on the floor and their heads buried in it.

Not to completely detail this thread but it's perhaps on topic... This is coming from an administration that hides from interacting with the voters, has had 1 weak softball press conference in 4 months and took no critical questions. There is no accountability. Just hiding in bunkers to shield him from criticism because he is inept.

This is exactly what I would expect to happen.

Russia senses weakness and they are seeing to their agenda.

My concern is if china also senses weakness and if russia moves on crimea/ukraine at the same time china moves on taiwan. That could force us into a very precarious position to either look like a paper tiger or risk taking on both russia and china.

I think war with china is almost inevitable and it won't be our choice I think china will be the aggressor and directly threaten our interests but I don't want russia involved in it.

I liked this take on the situation with china

A absolutely MASSIVE amount of Russian Armor (Tanks, APC’s, self-propelled artillery) arrived in Crimea via train today. Video from the Crimea Bridge over the Kerch Strait between Russia and Ukraine shows the train.

Here's my take, once Russia is done with Crimea and Corn Pop Biden does nothing, then China moves in on Taiwan or a big crack down on Hong Kong.

I have no doubts, none all, that there are people from both of these countries that have crossed our southern border, along with ISIS/Taliban terrorists. Awaiting a time to do what it takes to cause some type of disorder. Remember, it only takes one terrorist to poison a reservoir.

by Dave58 Thu Apr 01, 2021 3:47 pm

Honest opinion everybody.....

Do you really think that Biden would get us involved if Russia invades Crimea ??

If China tries to take Taiwan back ????

Or both..

How do you think this will affect the USA ??

I honestly don't have a clear answer because I don't know the motives of bidens handlers/controllers.

I have to think about it.

by rick1 Thu Apr 01, 2021 4:22 pm

Well Dave, just my opinion based on what Corn Pop Biden has said/done.

If Russia attacks Crimea, Corn Pop will bad mouth the Russians but won't do nothing military wise.

Taiwan is a different story, if Corn Pop holds to his words, he will help defend Taiwan. Don't know if that means boots on the ground or not or if that means military equipment. But he said that before Russia and China teamed up against the U.S..

I'm starting to worry more about the southern border here at home, too many coming across and not being caught. We have no idea who these people are or what their intentions are. And I have a deep, deep bad feeling about that.

I'm glad I live where I do, the only illegal around here is if one of the neighbors cows or dogs come over to visit.

by TRex2 Thu Apr 01, 2021 7:32 pm

"Dave58" asked:
Honest opinion everybody.....

Do you really think that Biden would get us involved if Russia invades Crimea ??No. I think he will whine. This, BTW, is part of prophesy, that Russia will come down to the Middle East. Crimea and the sea beyond it are along the path.
I think Russia will also want to take the Odessa and Moldova area too.

If China tries to take Taiwan back ????
He might sent Carrier Battle Groups, and other warships. Rattle the sword. Not sure if he would actually have the cojones to fire the first shot, but might have to fight if China fires first shot. I don't think we are ready for this, and it may result in several carrier battle groups being destroyed, possibly followed by a limited nuclear exchange. This exchange could leave Guam and Philippines, in addition to some of Japan and Korea, in ruin.

Or both..
How do you think this will affect the USA ??
Give me your worse case scenario I can take it (maybe) I know what my wife and I have talked about I'm just trying to see if we are all on the same page.... Are you really sure you can take it?

Prophesy says (Ezekiel 38)that when Russia attacks Israel, "Tarshish and all her young lions" will complain, but it indicates we will be ineffective in defending Israel. Most people in prophesy interpret Tarshish (the lands beyond the Great Sea) to be England, and Her young lions would be all of her former colonies. That includes us.

This means, in the next few years, we will become largely irrelevant, on the world stage. It doesn't mean we will be utterly destroyed, but I suspect it will mean our military has been bloodied and our president cowed.

I wouldn't rule out a limited nuclear exchange, but I don't see anything in prophesy that indicates any kind of massive nuclear destruction, outside of Damascus, which prophesy says (Isaiah 17) will be left in ruins. (My estimate is, destruction of Damascus, due to its size, shape, composition, and geography, would take at least 8 nuclear detonations.)

Of course, with the majority of our Naval fleet destroyed in the Pacific, a few well placed EMP's or even cyber attacks could render us impotent.

Russia always means business. But they are playing chess. If they don't take your bishop when it is open, it is because they either see that it will leave their knight open, or they see a way to take your knight, later.

God, of course, is really in control.
Those who don't believe will play into His hand.

I know I'm late to the party, but I think there is a simple solution to the Ukraine-Russia problem.

Give Ukraine it's nukes back, or the equivalent number and size.

Then they can play with Russia as much as Putin wants. Evil or Very Mad

The First Horseman of the Apocalypse stands at the doorway of Heaven, ready to ride. Will he remain there, will he cast his shadow across the Earth, as the Forth Horseman did a year ago, or will he ride?

Only God knows.

Prophesy indicates that Damascus will be destroyed before, or immediately after the Rapture (Isaiah 17 and Psalm 83), and will precede Russian and Iran attacking Israel (Ezekiel 38).

Either way, prophesy says we will stand by and do nothing but talk. The Bible doesn't say we whether we cannot respond (damaged or destroyed) or won't respond because we don't have the will (Ezekiel 38 is after the Rapture, and the Church will be gone).

US sending two warships to Black Sea as Russia builds up forces in Ukraine

NATO ally Turkey said the two U.S. warships would reach the Black Sea from Wednesday to Thursday after Washington notified Ankara of the move a little over two weeks ago.

"A notice was sent to us 15 days ago via diplomatic channels that two U.S. warships would pass to the Black Sea, in line with the Montreux Convention," a 1936 treaty which gave Ankara control of the seas' straits, according to Turkey's foreign ministry, as reported by Reuters. "The ships will remain in the Black Sea until May 4."

The Russians can sense that we are weak. They know that, starved for funding, and neglected, it will only be a short time before our defenses, cyber and otherwise, will degrade. They have had a couple weak Administrations, in the past, to learn this from. They probably even have a schedule planned, as to when the optimum time to attack will be.

I really hate it, when they say "up to" some number. That means they know it is less, and are using that number to hype the news. It is a weasel tactic, like click bait.

I have always wondered about the little horn that sprang up, uprooting three horns, in the prophesies. Would that be Russia, over running thee other regions? Or Iran, conquering three neighbors? I think we are so near those days, we can feel it.

But, I think, first, Russia will enter Ukraine. I think they want better access to the Black Sea, for both economic (pipelines) and military reasons. They want clear overland route to Crimea, which they took through intimidation, during the Obama years.
