The nation which retaliates takes the moral high ground because they become the victim.
So, Vladimir Putin, knowing the advantage the US has as to size, will not pull the trigger first. What he will do is prepare many asymmetric options to do to the US what the US did to the British in the American Revolution.
This coming war is being taken very seriously by Vladimir Putin, while the US President and Pentagon are cutting back the US Military while slapping the Bear and the Dragon. What on earth are our people doing? US officials and Military are acting like war is some sort of Sunday School picnic.
It seems that there is a total delusion in America. The assumption is that we are the greatest hegemon in world history, and no one can whip us, even if we disarm.
Well, Putin is making it very clear that Russia will not be whipped by anyone. Napoleon and Hitler both tried, and the Russians fought at great loss of life and property............ and won.
World War III will be short and treacherous. And, when the dust settles, the USA will be finished as a world power. Russia will still be standing. This is clear, in that, the Bible states that Russia fields a large force of its military AND a group of other nations in the Middle East, to attack Israel. Read this in Ezekiel 38-39.
The US Military boasts that they can destroy all of Russia in a first strike. The problem with this claim is that the jerks in the Pentagon are not Bible believers. They are woosie faggots.
So, it is entirely possible that God has sent America strong delusion, as predicted in II Thessalonians 2:11.
2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
The lie is, "We are the greatest." Our President, Congress, and nearly all Americans believe America is great. But, the nation is on the brink of disaster economically, and morally the USA is a hog pen. God sends the delusion so that the leaders and people will go to the extreme making fools of themselves so that God is justified in destroying such a nation.
It matters very little whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton is elected. Both of them will rage on down the road to national mental illness. Both of them will believe that war and killing are the way to make America great again. This is how empires end.
Psalms 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
