Diplomacy Could Lead To Another Depression

Perhaps this is just another tug on the reins of the "hooks" that God has promised to place in "Gog's" jaws, to turn him towards the Middle-East invasion, that will end up in his forces' nearly complete destruction upon the "mountains of Israel".  

I have written repeatedly that Russia is practically set for an invasion of the Middle-East already.  It seems that all "Gog" (Putin?) needs is an international excuse to begin the invasion, which will probably have as it's goal the conquest of all the Persian Gulf oil fields, of Saudi Arabia, and their neighbors.  Israel will probably be drawn into the conflict, because of their proximity to Saudi Arabia, and because they are the only Middle-Eastern country that can give Russia a strong resistance.   It's basic military strategy that you don't leave a powerful enemy (like Israel) on your flank when you invade another enemy (Saudi Arabia).   (Plus,  Iran, Russia's main ally in the invasion, is "champing at the bit" for an excuse to invade Israel, anyway!  Their motivation is pure, unadulterated anti-Semitism, in it's most virulent form!  The kind that would have caused them to  cheer on Adolph Hitler, if they had been alive in the 1940's, and knew about his "Final Solution" for the Jews of Europe!)  

Perhaps the sanctions that the Trump administration has just placed upon Russia (along with Iran, and North Korea),  primarily dealing with their (mostly Russian) sales of oil, and Natural Gas, could serve as sufficient "provocation" to "force" a Middle-East invasion to conquer the Arab oil fields (so he can punish the rest of the world with an oil embargo, and blame it on Trump's sanctions), 

We know that Russia's economy is hurting, because of the Saudi "dumping" of large quantities of oil upon the market (to drive down the international price of oil, because of America's increased reserves, due to "Fracking" techniques).  Saudi Arabia is trying to bankrupt American oil companies, but they are also "turning the screws" on Russia's oil-sales-dependent economy, giving Putin (or "Gog"???) incentive to invade, to supposedly force Saudi Arabia to stop it's "oil dumping" tactics.  Europe is officially protesting, because they are "caught in the squeeze", because most of their supply of Natural Gas is purchased from Russia, and sanctions will probably limit that availability from Russia.  With winter approaching, Europe is protesting the sanctions, because it will probably hurt them more than it will Russia.  I'm sure that Trump intends to sell liquefied Natural Gas to Europe (since we are now the world's largest supplier of Natural Gas) to fill the short fall, which will anger Putin even more! 

Even if there is no Middle-East invasion, yet (at least),  remember that the "Great Depression" of the nineteen thirties began with international trading of sanctions, from country to country, with endless retaliatory sanctions placed against the countries that brought the first sanctions.  In essence, this was an artificial depression, caused by the mutual intransigence of one country against another, and back again.  Don't think for a minute that it couldn't happen again!  Remember George Santayana's famous quote, "Those who refuse to remember the past, are condemned to relive it."(!!!)

Also, remember that World War II began with America's oil embargo against Japan, for invading "Indo-China", and their oil reserves..  Are we facing the beginning of  World War III???  Only God knows, for sure!!!
