When Did The "Cold War" End?

Ronald Reagan is credited with ending the "Cold War" with Russia by forcing their economy into a severe depression through building a strong military system in America, which had to be countered in Russia's building a military they couldn't afford. Now we have Putin blustering about the need to re-build the Soviet System, and his efforts to re-annex the Ukraine is just the first step in his plan. I said earlier that I felt the American and European sanctions might drive him into the Middle-East invasion predicted by God in Ezekiel 38, & 39, and a piece on today's "700 Club" T.V. show confirmed my suspicions that the Saudi Arabian, and other O.P.E.C. oil nations seem to be willing to let the price of oil continue to decline, with the hopes that some American corporations can not produce profits at these rates, even with the new "Fracking" technology. The piece explained that some American companies might go bankrupt, but that others would not. It further explained that Russia was being hurt far worse than we are. So, if Saudi Arabia is refusing to close the spigots, to drive the price higher, Putin might just decide to seize their oil fields, and close them himself. Of course, Israel would certainly defend the Saudi's and the Emirates, but an alliance with Israel's Muslim enemies would counter that well enough, at least he might think so. But don't count out God, which I'm sure Putin can't bring himself to consider. This is the perfect set-up plan to tempt someone like Putin into committing such a fatal mistake, as He said He would do, in Ezekiel 38, when He said He would put "hooks in [Putin's] jaws", drawing up the image of a horse with a "bit", shaped like hooks, being turned in a different direction by it's rider (God, in this case). Is the current drop in oil prices, along with Saudi Arabia's stubborn policy, combined with our sanctions the "hooks" that God will use to bring "Gog" (or Putin) into the Middle East invasion that will end in God's causing 83% of the invasion force to be destroyed? Who but God knows, but I have to wonder!

It looks like the "Cold War" might just be about to start heating up real soon!!!
