Has Putin Tipped His Hand???

I have always been perplexed about one thing, in the "Gog/Magog" prophecy, written in Ezekiel 38,  and  39.   Russia, the main object of the prophecy, referred to as "Magog" (the name of the ancient tribe that settled around present-day Moscow) seems ready, willing and able to make the prophecied invasion of the Middle-East (given some 2500 years ago), that will eventually include Israel.   They will be accompanied by several armies of Muslim nations, or voluntary militias of Israel's neighbors, which have long boasted that they wanted to bring a "final solution" kind of genocide upon Israel, or drive the whole country into the Mediterranean sea!  They will not need too much urging to attempt to do just that!

But, now that the I.S.I.S. terrorists are mostly driven  from their Iraqi, and Syrian strongholds, I wondered how American forces would not be involved in the invasion which will rise from virtually the same territory.  The prophecy makes no mention of anyone even loosely resembling America coming to Israel's aid, which we would surely do if we were there, as they have long been our ally. 

After the Obama fiasco, of withdrawing our forces from Iraq, which allowed I.S.I.S. to move in to fill the void we left behind, I doubt if President Trump is anxious to follow his example, now. 

But, today, on  FOX NEWS, it was reported that Putin wants Trump to do just that!  Gee,...I can't imagine why!  And Trump has gone on record as saying that he wants to meet with Putin, to encourage him to help pressure North Korea to stop it's nuclear development program, and it's campaign of belligerent threats against America. 

I have stated before that I felt Putin might have been behind the bellicose threats, simply to keep our forces occupied, when he makes his move into the Middle-East.   Now, I see that he may be using his influence upon North Korea, with Chinese approval, to make a deal with Trump to withdraw our forces.   FOX NEWS made the quip that, "he wants room to run"!  I'll bet I know where he wants to run!!!  But, the prophecy makes clear that most of the invasion force will not be running back, or walking, or even limping, for that matter!!!  God will allow Israel to destroy the invading army, to the tune of 83 and1/3rd%!!!  The prophecy says that God will glorify Himself in the eyes of the "heathen" nations, this way, and let them know that there is still a God in Israel!!!

UPDATE:  11/18/2017--

DUH!!!  I apologize for my humiliating stupidity in not recognizing the obvious for 8 full days, but I guess my mind is not as sharp as it used to be, to say the least!!!

It finally occurred to me (to my utter shame, because it's so obvious) that our troops and weaponry in Iraq, and Syria, while they will probably be withdrawn, will not likely return all the way to America.  They will most likely, simply be transferred to Afghanistan, where we have been fighting our longest war in American history.  

We continue to struggle against a homegrown group of tribal militias, that are every bit as obsessively fanatical as Iraq's I.S.I.S., and Al Quaida ever were.  Their fanaticism includes convincing their own fighters that committing suicide, for "the glory of "Allah" is the greatest good! 

In fact, it may well be presumed that the fighters that were driven out of  Iraq, and Syria, either are already in Afghanistan, or soon will be.   We have been supervising a resistance, to another resistance, for more than a decade (or nearer two)  and that approach has been as successful as the ephemeral "victory" that brought about the conclusion of the Korean war, and led to the disaster that our cowardly Congress (of the day) forced upon us, in Viet Nam, after the equally cowardly campaign of the mainstream media's propaganda created such an anti-war sentiment throughout our society.   If Truman thought; "War is too important to be left up to the Generals!", it is also too complex to be left up to the politicians, and the bureaucrats!!!   And the cowardly influence of the mainstream media to propagandize our society against all wars, simply because they can, is as evil as promoting an unjust war, in the first place.

(In case anyone is wondering, this war will be about as morally just as war can ever be!!!  It will not only be a war to stop an encroaching invasion, but it will be a war that will prevent the genocidal slaughter of the entire Israeli society!!!  Do these people really think God will allow that to happen???)
