Could a nuclear bomb be involved this time?
Perhaps, it would seem so.
Russia has alredy tested NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) — either by accident or on purpose — when Russian’s pilots fired missiles on NATO’s doorsteps, about 15 miles near Poland border.
So, the probabilty is real.
Vladimir Putin had no qualms about killing thousands of innocent people. He’s a deranged madman! It’s possible he’ll absolutely press the nuclear button.
When exactly?
We’ll talk about that soon. But first…
Today’s Day 25 of the invasion of Ukraine. Three million people, mostly women and children, already fled the war-torn country. Putin has not only intercepted and killed fleeing civilians in humanitarian corridors, but has also shelled apartment buildings, schools, a refugee center, markets, and a hospital with a woman about to give birth.
Analysts say Putin is absolutely amoral. He is Adolf Hitler in the 21st Century, just itching to detonate a nuclear bomb against US-led NATO and its allies.
Now, the understatement of the century is that Putin underestimated Ukraine– big time!
He may win the battle, but already he hast lost the war: no major cities of Ukraine taken, carnage and destruction have bolster the resolve of the Ukrainians, not dampened it. Putin’s resorting to bombing civilians indiscriminately.
Additionally, he has used advanced hyper-supersonic missile — the first of its kind in warfare — to take out a fuel depot in Ukraine. Dubbed kinzhal or ‘dagger’ missile, it’s 10-times the speed of sound — cannot be stopped or intercepted.
Analysts also say these are actions of a complete psychopath, bent on inflicting total destruction of an unprovoked country.
Meanwhile, international sanctions squeezed hard the Russians economy. Most, importantly, Putin’s circle of billionaires friends, the oligarchs.
This is just in: Putin has ordered a nuclear evacuation drill, moved his family to Siberia.
Okay. So, I realize that this is a world away from Chuuk and Guam. But why am I obssessing with it?
Well, not only is it about humanity, but the end of humanity as well. Already, Putin is getting ready for a nuclear drill, what’s that saying to you?
Yes, even in the Marshalls. Ukraine maybe farther away. But the effects are just the same. It’ll be affecting you and me in many different ways, but three in particular:
1. Gas prices – The most immediate is on gas price. The war, you must admit, is already playing tricks on your wallet at the gas pump. Last two weeks in Guam, it went up to 5.85 per gallon. Chuuk is breathing at 4.95. And this is just Week-4 in the war.
2. Humanitarian – I cannot help but be affected by images of women and homeless children without parents fleeing. There is horrendous war crimes involved. It’s terrible. And Putin shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
3. Nuclear – NATO and it’s allies don’t want any escallation. They’re doing everything humanly possible to contain this one.
Putin, on the other hand, has shown telltale signs of his state of mind. He’s one without reason. The whole world is done talking.
First, there was India, a ‘friend’… did nothing. Then, it’s China, another ‘friend’. Still Putin fought. And now this… hyper-supersonic missile incident, and nuclear drill.
It’s super dangerous for Ukraine and the world. But the plane that carries the ‘dagger’ missiles, carry nuclear bombs too.
Let Putin feel cornered — in any shape, fashion or form — and it might just be… doomsday!
Now, if you trusts in Good Book there is a promise: “We which are alive shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air; (1 Thes 4:17, KJV) and he shall destroy them which destroy the earth!” (Rev 11:18, KJV).
So, in the final analysis, it will be scary. But rest assure, there’s hope indeed. “Look up, your redemption draweth nigh” (Lk 21:28).
