Obama's counteroffensive diplomatic and financial sanctions will have tremendous effect upon Putin's Russia, in a year or two. In the mean time, Putin's missile will have immediate devastating effect upon the people of the Ukraine. This is a war between guns and bombs on one side, versus letters of diplomatic protest on the other. Sure, the financial restrictions will eventually force Russia to cave in to the desires of U.S., and European intentions, presuming they are not countered between now and when they have had time to be effective. But a meglo-maniac like Putin could not stand to be punished for his misbehavior, like an errant schoolboy, when he presides over the second most powerful military force in the world, and the most powerful military force is presided over by a do-nothing wimp of a President who simply sends letters of protest and slaps him with financial penalties that won't be painful immediately.
So, the recent sanctions do nothing to stop Putin from taking over the Ukrainian territory that he hasn't already, and it may urge him to move immediately into the Mid-East Invasion that I suspect will tempt him as a counter to the financial sanctions that we and Europe will be only too happy to cancel after he conquers the Saudi Arabian, and other gulf states' oilfields, and turns off the spigots. God has promised to put, "hooks in the jaws" of the leader he refers to as "Gog", and as a horse's bit is often shaped like a pair of hooks, this may be what He intends to use to turn Putin's interests toward the Mid-East. For more of my musings on these possible developments, which seem to be prophecied in Ezekiel 38,& 39, please refer back to my post of April 21st of this year.

Obama Is Trying To Get Impeached
On Thursday, the 20th of February of this year, I posted a sarcastic opinion that Obama is either stupid, which I don't think anyone believes (including myself), or he is trying to force the House of Representatives to impeach him, knowing that the Senate as it now exists would never convict him. My opinion has not changed, except that it is no longer a sarcastic thought that I choose to express. I am now thoroughly convinced that this is the White House's overall strategy to either force the Republicans who control the House to pass his Liberal, Socialist-Agenda bills, or dare to impeach him. Hopefully, the House republicans will not be stupid enough to do either.
Obama has tried hard enough to turn this country into his idea of a "Democratic"-Socialist state, similar to France, and other European governments, and the House republicans are the only ones who have resisted his efforts to do so. If they were to impeach him, a trial in the sympathetic Senate would not only not convict him but it would give him the very public format to preach his propaganda to an audience that would surely be very cleverly manipulated by the Liberal media, until we would have public opinion blaming those republicans for not passing his agenda. And we could expect that we would have at least 4 years of another Clinton presidency, to solidify the imperial Socialist state. All he has to do is guarantee that the sympathetic democrats retain control of the Senate, so his presidency can continue to run amok for the final two years of his term, without realistic fear that any impeachment would lead to his conviction, by a conservative republican Senate. That's why I think he's running around desperately attending party fundraisers, while the world, and the country, seem to be heading to "hell-in-a-hand-basket" on his watch. Hopefully, this strategy will continue to backfire on him, as now even some democrats are beginning to question the wisdom of this policy. Perhaps there may not be enough money in the world to protect him from being both impeached, and convicted if he keeps going this way!
UPDATE: 7/29/'14:
This morning, I was gratified to hear Steve Doocey, one of the Fox Network's Morning show hosts comment that "it's only the Democrats who are talking about impeachment. What's up with that?" My guess is that they're trying to put the thought in the Republicans' minds, desperately hoping that their doing so will cause Democratic voters to rally around Obama, and re-elect a Democratic majority in the Senate, in order to protect him from conviction.
It's somewhat gratifying to note that I'm apparently not alone in thinking that this is the Democrats' desperate strategy!!!

The Invasion Of Israel???
Tensions are increasing in the Gaza strip and Israel, and anyone who thinks this has nothing to do with God's prophecied Gog/Magog invasion of Israel could be in for a big surprise, unless I've sadly missed my guess. In Zechariah, chapter 9 before God prophecies the Palm Sunday entrance of Jesus riding into Jerusalem, "on a colt, the foal of an ass", there is a description of violence destroying the areas around ancient Tyre and Sidon, two cities of southern Lebanon which today are actively supporting the rocket bombardment of Israel even though Israel has signed a peace treaty to avoid an invasion of Gaza, but the Hamas refused to sign it and continued the bombardment.
Don't be confused by the time frame of God's prophecies as if the former must necessarily be fulfilled before the latter can be. Remember, this is God talking, and He is eternal, while we are encumbered by the limitations of Time. For Him to describe one event and then describe another which precedes it by 2000 years probably is very logical in the eternal way of viewing things, though it seems confusing to us while we are stuck in time perspective. The key is, has the prophecy been fulfilled yet? And to my knowledge it has not, though Tyre was famously destroyed by the Greeks, or Romans, or someone who built a land bridge to their Island city so they could conquer it.
Now, after two days of Israel's ground invasion of Gaza we once again see the rest of the world ganging-up on Israel to have Humanitarian compassion on the poor Palestinian residents of the Gaza territory, who just want to live peaceably in their homes, while being allowed to send rockets indiscriminately into the homes of their Israeli neighbors, and send terrorist infiltrators through their border crossing tunnels to create murder-raids, and kidnap innocent Israelis, civilian and soldiers, to hold them hostage to trade for the release of thousands of previously captured terrorists that are presently in Israeli jails. How heartless of the Israeli people to not leave them to their "peaceful" lifestyles!!! This happens in every war between Israel and her Arab neighbors, whenever Israel begins to get the upper hand. It's a one-way form of outrage that's always against Israel, and never equally against her enemies who are allowed to commit atrocities at will without such international outrage on behalf of Israel's right to live in peace with her neighbors. It would be different if Israel's invasion were without provocation, then the world's outrage would have merit, but after months of bombardment from Gaza, it's hard to blame Israel for wanting to protect their citizens.
Now, Americans are debating what to do about the "invasion" of our southern border with Mexico by tens of thousands of children from Central American countries. Can we imagine our distress if that were an actual military invasion from Mexico? Would anyone feel compassion for the invaders if our armed forces were sent to protect our homeland from that kind of invasion? Of course not. So why is it so difficult for some Americans to understand that Israel must defend their country as we would expect our forces to defend ours?
UPDATE: Friday, 7/25/'14--
The previous was written in three stages as the fighting in Gaza progressed. Now as Secretary of State Kerry tries desperately to arrange a cease-fire agreement between the two sides, and Israel has been carrying on a ground offensive, that seems to have accomplished most of their goals, and the unintended killing of some 800 Palestinians, regrettably mostly women and children who were not allowed to evacuate, by their Hamas Terrorists, when Israel dropped leaflets warning them of an impending invasion, it now seems likely that peace is possible. Or at least a temporary cease fire, as Hamas has vowed to continue the Rocket bombardment of Israel until their borders are opened again. But can Israel agree to allow indiscriminate crossings of their mutual borders by Palestinians who may likely be bent on harming their people? I don't think so! So perhaps the fighting may continue. At least until Putin decides to begin his Russian invasion of Israel that's prophecied in Ezekiel 38, &39. That seems unlikely to be long in coming anyway.

Has The Invasion Begun, Again???
I have become convinced that the Russian Invasion of the Middle-East is the next big event prophesied by God in the Bible (in Ezekiel chapters 38, & 39) and that there is significant scriptural evidence that the conclusion of this war will precipitate a Nuclear Missile Attack upon us, by the bitter losers, who will likely blame us for helping Israel defeat them, through our shared technology, though God makes it clear that He is going to take the credit for saving His people, Israel, from the genocidal slaughter that the Muslim allies of Russia intend for them, but actually bring upon themselves. I am not concerned about the possibility of a Nuclear attack because I believe there is even more scriptural evidence that the "rapture" of the Church will occur before the attack begins. Whatever happens after that, well, may God have mercy on them all, 'cause I aient gonna be here!
Last January 30th I wrote that the Invasion of the Middle-East may have already begun, with the developments in the war in Syria, and Russia's haste to come to the aid of their great ally. I speculated that Putin might see this as an opportunity to set up his forces in preparation for invading the "mountains of Israel", along with the Muslim armies of Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Libya, and either Sudan, Somalia, and Muslim volunteers from Ethiopia, or some combination thereof. Their collective hatred of Israel is well known, and Russian promises to protect them from any American, or western European aid for Israel might coerce their acceptance of Russia's desire to conquer the oil fields of Saudi Arabia, and their Persian Gulf neighbors. Then they could blackmail the rest of the world into submission with threats of an oil embargo that will make the Arab embargo of 1973 seem like "kid stuff". I hold to these opinions still, coupled with the recent missile attacks from both Hamas, in the Gaza strip against Israel and those from Lebanon's Hezbollah, Israel's neighbor to the north. This seems to be an escalation of tensions between Israel and her neighboring countries that points to the soon fulfillment of the prophecy of the "Gog/Magog" Invasion of Israel. For details in how that will end, please refer to my posts of April 10th of this year, and June 10th of last year.
The recent Israeli invasion of the Gaza strip territory is probably intended by God to heighten the world's anger towards Israel for their refusal to sit still and allow indiscriminate Hamas rocket bombardments to rain upon their citizens without any reprisals. After all, those poor Muslim civilians who allow Hamas to shield their rocket launcher outposts with their homes, and their children are simply minding their own business, aren't they? So, I guess God wants to ignite such unreasonable hatred for His people that all those who really hate Israel will quickly volunteer when Gog (or Putin) finally makes his move to invade Israel. Then He can bring His judgment upon all of them at the same time. And He will, to the tune of 83% of the entire invasion force. For details, the readers are referred again to

Has Obama Flung The Door Open For Mid-East Invasion?
Todays headlines carry the wonderful news that since Obama has announced that, "no more boots on the ground" will be sent to fight in Iraq, at least not American boots, surprise, surprise... the Russians are just happy to send their fighter jets to provide the air support that the Iraqi's desperately need to help their forces defend their territory against the so-called "I.S.I.S" insurgent forces. It appears that President Obama has succeeded in giving the green light to Russia's President Putin not only for their air support but can the Russian boots be far behind??? I doubt it.
Between the Russian jets, and the Iranian drones, which were most likely developed after the Iranians captured one of our "Predators", the Iraqis should be able to at least stop the unchecked advance of the insurgent forces in Iraq, while giving the pro-Iranian governments of both Iraq and Syria the opportunity to cement relations with Iran, and Putin the opportunity to create an alliance with the new Shiite-Caliphate State, of whatever name they will call it. It's really beginning to look as though God's bringing all the principals together for the Prophecied invasion of Israel, He spoke of in Ezekeiel 38,& 39, and our brilliant President seems to be doing all he can to help Him, while probably intending to help the insurgents, by doing nothing.
Today (Thursday), a "Pentagon official" apparently was so fed up with the "do-nothing" response of the White House that he risked his future career, and cushy pension by condemning the C.I.A., and White House's positions as political, versus the Pentagon's willingness to offer at least limited support for the Iraqi forces. That's tantamount to committing professional suicide in the supposedly "apolitical" Pentagon. He must be really fed-up to do that, but will Obama be impressed by this? Probably not! He'll likely fire the disloyal bureaucrat, or force the resignation of whatever military officer we're talking about so no one else will have the guts to question his decisions in the future. Stand by for that.
