Putin has made this invasion in Ukraine all about the US dollar.

It's not too late to make the pre-tribulation rapture like Enoch or Elijah.

If I'm alive when it happens, I'll be one taken up. I know it for sure. I have felt the Raw, Almighty Power of God; a Peace and Love so incredible and intense that if I had felt more, my body would have somehow been changed. I can testify that no flesh can be in the full presence of God and live. My point is, is that if the Pre-Trib takes place, there's no way, after that unbelievable experience, that the Lord would leave me behind.

All of the events described in the Bible; the most unbelievable of events . . . they are all to be believed and Trusted. Our Powerful God is capable of it all . . . I have felt the Source of those events; the Source of Creation itself.

Russia is going to do what is necessary to defend its interests

https://americanmilitarynews.com/20...onse-to-us-after-biden-declared-economic-war/

The Russian government accused the United States of declaring an “economic war” and vowed to respond after President Joe Biden banned the import of Russian oil and gas in the U.S. on Tuesday.

In comments to the press reported by Reuters on Wednesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Biden’s decision to ban Russian oil and gas “demands a rather deep analysis” and said Russia is preparing its response. Peskov then said, “If you are asking me what Russia is going to do – Russia is going to do what is necessary to defend its interests.”

My grandfather used to tell us that we would live to see the day that bicycles and mules would be the only modes of transportation available to us. He said that we'd wish that he were here to help us select our mules. It was funny back then. It doesn't seem as funny today.

Aren't we thankful that Biden shut down the oil pipelines on his first day in office?

Why do the people put up with this?

The part I think that many aren't considering is the amount of arable land required to feed one person for an year (5-6 acres per person) https://permaculturism.com/how-much-land-does-it-take-to-feed-one-person/

If you live in the city there will be roving gangs with guns and no police. It will be Mad Max. If you live in the country it won't be like that, but let's be real, you will not be able to trust anyone. Go to the store -- scary. So being in the country will be even scarier for many people. Now if you live on a big farm with ten sons and everyone is carrying a gun maybe you will be able to harvest the crops, but again let's be real, you will be a target of thieves and bandits.

Take the farmer with ten sons, all with guns. Do you drive to the store altogether and leave your house unprotected? Do you split in half and leave 5 at home, so that you only have 5 or 6 in the truck? One by one your kids will be picked off.

Also even a farmer in a rural area needs to buy fertilizer, gasoline and so many other things. If you don't get the mark of the beast you can't do that. They will track down every single person, not because Satan is powerful but because this is the end of the age and God wants everyone to have a testimony.

I am not making this up, the Bible is very clear, no one will escape and there is no salvation in any name other than the Lord Jesus.

Yep as soon as those in the cities cant turn the water on and the lights go out they'll head to the woods. When they look around themselves and realize that their yard in that city home just isn't large enough to grow enough to feed their families and that the rivers and creeks are polluted and undrinkable. Just as soon as the mobs empty the stores they'll spread out in every direction and eat every squirrel and deer and hog they can figure out how to hunt. Every person who is not skin and bones will be as an sign to follow to find food.

The SWIFT system requires all transactions to be converted to US dollars. The only way for Russia to get out from under this attempt to destroy the Russian economy is to destroy the US dollar.

The US dollar is the "petro dollar". The reason every country must have dollars is because you cannot buy oil from OPEC except in US dollars, that is why we provide security to the Middle East.

So what Biden and the EU are doing by kicking Russia off of SWIFT is the same thing in type that Trudeau did when they seized the assets of anyone who supported the truckers. Do you think Russia will sit by and say yes, we are a vassal state of the US, so sorry for stepping out of line?

No, this will force Russia into attacking the Mid East (which means Israel) and they won't do that without first attacking the US. An EMP a hundred miles above the US will knock out our power and electrical devices. Water pumps, refrigeration, pumps at gas stations, etc. Car engines will be fried, computers will be fried, etc.

The EMP will be a nuclear weapons blast. It would be interesting to see if this was considered an act of war. If I had to decide, I'd say yes. Russia would be foolish to bring the wrath of the world on its head. However, Putin has not shown a great deal of sense or restraint in the war so far.

It is relatively easy to protect electronics against EMP. I know because I sold those products and did a fair bit of training on them. Military equipment is generally hardened to protect it. There will be a lot of disruption to commerce and industry.

So you would sit back and let China invade Taiwan? How about North Korea invade South Korea? While you're at it, throw Israel to the wolves. Let Iran have its nukes. Who are we to say psychos have no right to weapons of mass destruction?

If you are in a hurry to start WW3, you are on the right track. Sanctions have been somewhat effective in the past. If every tin pot dictator thinks he can invade another country for no reason, with no consequences, you can say goodby to modern civilisation.
