War in Ukraine (CW102)

   World War 3 is at Hand (Update)

US Ballistic Missiles struck deep inside Russia soil
   Ukraine's military used American-made ballistic missiles this week to strike into Russia for the first time, according to senior U.S. and Ukrainian officials. US President Biden on November 18 had given permission to do so in a major shift of American policy.

Will Putin keep his earlier warnings to NATO that Russian nuclear missiles will nuke their cities if any of their arsenals are used to attack Russian soil?

Formation of USSR
   The Soviet Union had its roots in the October Revolution of 1917, when the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, overthrew the Russian Provisional Government. Founded in 1922 as a confederation of Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Transcaucasia (comprised of Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia), the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) eventually grew to 15 republics—and a world-wide superpower with 130 ethnic groups

Breakup of USSR
1991 AD -  Economic weakness, political stubbornness, and the growth of nationalism were the causes for the disintegration of the Soviet Union into 15 Republics.

Ukraine SSR
December 1, 1991  Ukraine the second-largest country in Europe by land-mass and a sizable population of ethnic Russians became a sovereign state.

April 3, 2008  Russia objected to Ukrainian NATO Membership.

Start of Ukraine War
2014 AD   Following Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity, Russia occupied and annexed Crimea from Ukraine and supported pro-Russian separatists fighting the Ukrainian military in the Donbas war.

Russia Invasion of Ukraine
   In 2021, President Zelensky cracked down on pro-Russian Ukrainian oligarchs, including Viktor Medvedchuk, a close friend of Putin. Subsequently, Putin deploys increasing numbers of troops near the Ukrainian border and publishes an article claiming that Russians and Ukrainians are "one people."  
   One of Putin's demands was that Ukraine never be admitted to NATO – a request rejected by the Biden administration resulting in Russia launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24. 2022.

2024  Since 2022, NATO led by US had already poured hundreds of billion to support Ukraine. At the latest NATO summit, it will send more financial support, fighter jets, missiles, drones and arsenals along with experts to train the Ukrainians.  At the same time, US will station ICBM missiles in Germany to deter (or attack) Russia.  Russia rebuked NATO's decisions.
Note   In 1990 NATO had only 16 members. Today it has expanded to 32 members with the increase mainly from the former USSR.

What will be the outcome of the present War in Ukraine?

Mat 24:6a  And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled
   Our Lord prophesied that there will be wars (and rumours of wars), that may lead to great destruction and possibly the annihilation of all mankind.
   However, He comforted us not to fear nor worry (not troubled) even if they developed into World War 3. (see that you are not troubled)

Note  This Ukraine war is frightening for it can be extensive and deadly for both sides (NATO and Russia) are extremely strong and also armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons.

Mat 24:6b  for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
   Our Lord also prophesied that these fearful and frightening wars will escalate to become the destructive and horrific nuclear World War 3 _(must come to pass)_ that it is like the end of the world.
    He also comforted us that the destructive World War 3 will not lead to the end of the World (the end is not yet).
Thank God that our Lord  Jesus will always protect and  nourish His faithful servants.

This Ukraine War will end up to be part of World War 3
