Menendez: ‘Putin Will Not Stop with Ukraine’: Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that if Russian President Vladimir Putin were allowed to invade Ukraine, he would not stop there. Menendez told CNN anchor Dana Bash, “Listen, this is beyond Ukraine, although certainly we dramatically support Ukraine. We cannot have a Munich moment again. Putin will not stop with Ukraine if he believes that the West will not respond. We saw what he did in 2008 in Georgia. We saw what he did in 2014 and pursued Crimea. He will not stop. So at the end of the day, this is about defending Ukraine, but also about sending a message, you can’t by force change the boundaries of a country, you can’t by force tell them they cannot look westward.” Senator James Risch (R-ID), also a guest on the program, backed Menendez’s statement. https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2022/01/30/menendez-putin-will-not-stop-with-ukraine/ The military industrial complex in the USA is itching for a war. True, true, Arthur. They are drunk with power and their lust for money. They simply can not allow Russia to regain superpower. :groan Don't get me wrong here. I don't think Putin is the good guy in this situation. However, the warhawks in the USA are no better. The USA has their Monroe doctrine. The Monroe Doctrine was the declaration by President James Monroe, in December 1823, that the United States would not tolerate a European nation colonizing an independent nation in North or South America. The United States warned it would consider any such intervention in the Western Hemisphere to be a hostile act. In other words, don't interfere with countries in my backyard. Never mind the fact that they are sovereign nations. One just has to look at what the USA has done historically in countries like Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama, etc. Oiii! Now, when Russia does the same thing, the USA is literally up in arms. :wacko: Both Russia with their desire to control neighbouring nations and the USA with their Monroe doctrine are wrong. Canada is even worse. We wag our finger at other countries and the USA, from time to time and yet almost totally rely on the USA for our protection. We get to have our cake and eat it too. To sum it up, we aren't going to get good government until Jesus comes back. Maranatha! :prayer-hands: Turkey seems to be backing the Ukraine. Interesting... ? https://www.israel365news.com/265748/turkey-appears-to-be-siding-with-ukraine-in-russia-standoff/ Lines are being drawn both here and in Heaven! Whatever the landscape, our best view is into the heavens! TR Hal Lindsey had some interesting observations on this, tying it to Ezekiel 38: https://www.hallindsey.com/ww-1-30-2022/ More pieces being put in place and stage being set? Hi Greg :bye: Welcome to Rita! Thanks for sharing this very informative info! :yes: So Gog is not a nation, but a national leader. Gog means “high” “top guy” or “supreme”. The first century Jewish historian, Josephus, wrote that “Magog is called the Scythians by the Greeks”. The Greeks used the word “Scythia” to refer to the region north and east of the Black Sea. Today, that includes not just Russia but also Ukraine. :whistle: The Scythians also ruled the area east of the Caspian Sea that is today occupied by Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. Each of this nations were once part of the Soviet Union. Putin seems intent on bringing them back into Russian control … - Fair Use - —————- Hmmm … I wonder if the beginning stages of “the hook in the jaw” is already in motion with Putin’s desire to grab these nations? And then later God drags his armies down to the Golan Heights feeling soooo over confident he can win against Israel? B-) :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn I'm wondering the same Geri. It seems that Russia has something else in mind when the Bible says that God 'turns them around' and puts hooks..... just wondering and wondering if we are seeing the beginnings of Gog/Magog 😉 Welcome to RITAN, Greg. :good: Hal Lindsey was the author of the first Bible Prophecy book I ever read. (The Late Great Planet Earth) I still value his insights after all these years.
“There’s no question about that. If it wasn’t for NATO, the Baltic countries would be gone already, and there would be worse problems on the other side. Bob is absolutely right in that. This isn’t a place where there’s going to be just some action, and it’s going to quit. At some point in time, there’s got to be a line.”
