America is fighting Iran, Ukraine is setting Russia’s war machine on fire, Putin is being pushed higher up the escalation ladder, and the Patriot missiles standing between Europe and Russian ballistic weapons are disappearing faster than America can replace them. That is not merely a weapons shortage. That is a geopolitical chain reaction — and every link in the chain is getting hotter.
“For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, America is fighting Iran and burning through the sophisticated interceptors that were supposed to protect U.S. forces and NATO from other adversaries. At the same moment, Ukraine has carried its war deep inside Russia, repeatedly hammering refineries, fuel facilities, ports, weapons plants and other infrastructure that Moscow depends upon to finance and sustain its campaign. Those strikes are now causing measurable pain: Russian refining capacity has been disrupted, fuel restrictions have expanded, and Moscow has been forced to seek additional supplies and processing arrangements abroad. Meanwhile diplomacy has stalled and Russian rhetoric is becoming increasingly belligerent. AP reports that American Patriot interceptor inventories in Europe have fallen to what one U.S. defense official called “beyond critical,” largely because weapons have been diverted and expended during Trump’s war with Iran. These are precisely the interceptors NATO depends upon to destroy the high-speed Russian ballistic missiles that become increasingly important if Moscow climbs the escalation ladder. Washington therefore finds itself caught in a nightmare equation: Iran is forcing America to expend its missile defenses, Ukraine is forcing Russia deeper into a corner, Russia is contemplating greater military escalation, and America’s ability to defend Europe against that escalation is simultaneously being depleted. And while Washington debates whether Putin will escalate, Russia is already firing waves of ballistic missiles and drones into Ukraine, Ukraine has just set a monthly record for attacks on Russian refineries, Moscow is threatening Western military targets, and Trump says he isn’t worried about Russia attacking NATO — even as America’s premier defense against Russian ballistic missiles remains “beyond critical.” Today we find ourselves at the 6 month anniversary of Trump’s “6 Week War”, with no end or resolution in sight. Welcome to The Golden Age that never was.
