Is Russia Destined to Nuke the U.S.?: Examining the Near-term Threat of Nuclear War on Our Nation - Tapa blanda

Europe and the U.S. have imposed economic sanctions on Russia in response to the invasion of Russian military forces into eastern Ukraine and Crimea. The Ukraine is immersed in a civil war between pro– and anti-Russian factions. Heading into its second year, the U.S. and Russia are entangled in a dangerous war of words escalating to include deployment of further American military forces in Eastern Europe. What’s more concerning: Russia has dedicated 2,000 tactical “nukes” to this arena and announced the deployment of 40 new strategic ballistic missiles capable of striking America’s homeland. As its conventional military hardware grows incapacitated from physical decay and technological obsolescence, nuclear armaments become the mainstay of strategic Russian defense. Being Russia's only strategic alternative, their use becomes much more plausible. Plus, with the decline of the Russian Ruble and plunging oil prices during 2015, Russia finds itself in economic turmoil. Adding to this tense situation, Russian leaders grow increasingly paranoid believing that the C.I.A. foments ‘color revolutions’ throughout North Africa, the Middle East, and Eurasia. In short, Russia sees itself under attack from the U.S. on all fronts—and running out of time. Will this appre-hension trigger nuclear war in Europe? Will it cause Russia to launch nuclear missiles targeting the United States ? Could this happen within just a few short years? Or sooner?Bible prophecy scholars have argued for two centuries that Russia is the character known as “Gog from the land of Magog.” Gog comprises a momentous adversary to Israel in the last days when the Jews have been gathered together once more in their ancient homeland.In this concise but crucial study, author S. Douglas Woodward not only demonstrates the proximity of war between Russia and the U.S., he offers a compelling argument that America is the fulfillment of the prophecies of Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Zechariah. America comprises the “the daughter of Babylon.” As such, it stands destined to be at-tacked from a powerful confederation of nations from the “northern quarters.” Does this mean that Russia will “nuke” the U.S.? Will this attack occur when Gog’s armies advance against Jerusalem?
