Russia the Prime Target of Largest NATO Exercises in Poland

A headline screams, "Huge NATO Exercise Is a Rehearsal for a Russian Invasion". Largely unrecognized by North Americans, Russian aggression is now seen as the major threat facing the world. Anakonda is the largest joint NATO exercises since the end of the Cold War going on right now in Poland. President Obama is currently there being briefed on the latest developments. 

While Ruissia has been invited to attend and monitor the exercises, there is no doubt who the message is meant for: President Putin.  31 thousand troops are taking part from 24 NATO countries. These exercises are a response to Russian military exercises in March that were clearly targeted at NATO.

The importance of NATO's recent exercises is to affirm its continuing strength partly because of the recent departure of the UK from the EU. Observers are concerned that the unity of NATO may well be threatened by the brush off the Brexit has caused among France, Germany and the other EU-NATO allies. Russia is hoping that the Brexit will weaken the NATO alliance and allow it to pursue its expansionist aims.

It is an interesting footnote to the current times that, while Western powers are facing disunity and increasing political polarization, Russia is rising above it and pushing at the seams to accomplish its imperial aims and capture more territory in an effort to restore its old Soviet borders and satellite influence. The crisis the West is facing currently is a crisis within: Overcoming the decay of the social fabric of its societies and dealing with immigration, tolerance and assimilation issues. British voters were recently interviewed by BBC recently and many declared that their country was no longer theirs as they knew it any longer. Ironically, Scotland is now realizing this fear with the very real threat of a new independence referendum. America is facing a hot day in July at the moment and the perpetural problem of poisonous race relations; so much so, that a law enforcement officai and former policeman from Minnesota thinks America may be revisiting the race wars of the 60's and 70's. The political cultures of both English-speaking powers are dramatically degenerating into factions and bitter infighting.

Make no mistake about it. Russia is the end-time king of the north predicted in Daniel 11. Putin is its leader and has already emerged as the strongest leader in the world's eyes recently. Russia will rise as never before and succeed in uniting Eurasia in a resurrected Holy Roman Empire. It will also make further forays into the Middle East. As the end-time beast superpower the book of Revelation speaks of, it is important to know that, on account of its refusal to relent in the last days coming soon upon us, the Seven Last Plagues will be unfurled upon it by the omniscient, ominipotent God. These Seven Last Plagues (Rev. 16) come at the end of THIS AGE. The sixth one sees the Euphrates River dried up to make way for the kings of the east. These kings, most certainly the Islamic countries, would certainly benefit from unfettered land access to the Middle East. A final battle in the Middle East is coming soon. So the West will continue to dissemble and divide while Russia will continues to rise and annex adjoining territories. 

Don't be distracted by the short-term trends. The long-term picture foresees a time of trouble this world has never known before in its history. Pray you and your loved ones will escape these remarkable times that lie ahead.
