The Nuclear War Is Coming (Revelation 15)

THE IRON CURTAIN 2: Russia-Europe nuclear war 'COMING'

A NEW ironclad divide has built up across the world as nuclear war becomes INEVITABLE, it is being warned.

Military and political leaders are predicting 2017 will see the face of the Earth totally transformed as current tensions finally boil over.

Relationships between the world's superpowers are currently in their most precarious state in recent years as humanitarian and diplomatic catastrophes threaten mankind.

But before the first missile has been fired, an Iron Curtain has descended once more across the world.

This was the name given to a divide that developed between the east of Europe and the west of Europe – the former under Soviet Russia's control and the latter allied with the United States.

From 1945 onwards, this boundary existed as relationships between the two sides were on a knife edge with the threat of nuclear war ever-present.

And once again, the looming threat of the use of weapons that would devastate entire continents is back.

Molly K. McKew, a former advisor to the President of Georgia and Moldovan Prime Minister, claimed this month that neither Barack Obama or new US President Donald Trump don't realise is the "West is already at war".

It came after Obama kicked out scores of Russian diplomats from the United States over claims its leader Vladimir Putin had used hacking to influence the US election.

"What both administrations fail to realize is that the West is already at war, whether it wants to be or not," McKew wrote in Politico magazine.

She went on: "So far, [Trump] has chosen to act as if the West no longer matters, seemingly blind to the danger that Putin’s Russia presents to American security and American society.

"The question ahead of us is whether Trump will aid the Kremlin’s goals with his anti-globalist, anti-NATO rhetoric – or whether he’ll clearly see the end of the old order, grasp the nature of the war we are in, and have the vision and the confrontational spirit to win it."

Her comments come as Trump signaled he wanted to have a better relationship with Russia, having previously praised Putin as a "smart guy".

And in a move away from the position of previous US Presidents, Trump has repeatedly threatened to pull funding from NATO – effectively the main Europe defence system consisting of troops from all 28 members states.

Without US support, the NATO defence system would be seriously under threat, leaving all of Europe vulnerable to a Russian invasion.

In the last few weeks alone, thousands of tanks and troops have moved to Russia's border with the aim of protecting Eastern European countries.

Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev also warned this week the world is clearly "preparing for war".

The ex-statesman, who oversaw the breakup of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, said the current militarization of politics and the new arms race is "too dangerous" to go on.

"More troops, tanks and armoured personnel carriers are being brought to Europe. NATO and Russian forces and weapons that used to be deployed at a distance are now placed closer to each other, as if to shoot point-blank," he wrote in a piece for TIME magazine.

He went on: "The nuclear threat once again seems real. Relations between the great powers have been going from bad to worse for several years now.

"It all looks as if the world is preparing for war."
