Russia Friend or Foe? - Revisited - Part IX
"For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." I Thessalonians 5:3

This post shows that Russia is not our friend but an enemy to the United States of America and is planning a future attack on this nation.

4. Russia Friend or Foe?
We have shown through the three sections in this article that Russia is not our friend but is the enemy of the United States and is planning to attack our nation. In Ezekiel 33:2-5 it says "2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: 3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; 4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul." We have been telling people about Russia in America since the late 1980's. We preached a message in 1994 and sent it all over the nation warning the leaders in the church about this attack coming on our nation. Here are more articles confirming that Russia is an enemy of America.

a) The article titled "Russia Still a Threat, Says Defense Intelligence Agency"(Note 2 says

"The Pentagon's official line portrays America's Cold War enemy as just another friendly nation. However, its own intelligence agency says Russia remains a nuclear threat. President Bush's administration is endeavoring to sell Russian leaders, European allies, members of Congress and the American people on replacing the half-century-old strategy of mutual assured destruction with an anti-missile defensive shield......While that is taking place in the spotlight of the world stage, back at home the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency is looking down the road 20 years and seeing something considerably different - and menacing.......The bad news is - because of that same good news, from where the Pentagon sits - Russia is clinging doggedly to, and betting its long-term military strategy upon, its still-enormous arsenal of nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles. There is only one conceivable target for those thousands of holocaust weapons of mass destruction -- the cities of America."

b) The article titled "CIA Warns of Russia, China, Iran"(Note 21) says

"Even the unclassified and sanitized version of the latest report from the director of Central Intelligence to Congress paints a grim picture of a cash-strapped Russia selling dual-use technology to an increasingly dangerous Iran, China's threat, and a growing danger of terrorists using chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials.....Some of the strongest language in the report was reserved for Russia, the only 'entity' earning a specific recommendation: President Vladimir Putin in May 2000 amended the presidential decree on nuclear exports to allow Russia to export nuclear materials, technology, and equipment to countries that do not have full-scope IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) safeguards. Russian entities during the reporting period continued to supply a variety of ballistic missile-related goods and technical know-how to countries such as Iran, India, and China."

3. America's Enemies, Russia's Friends

h) An article titled “China, Russia Tout Space Partnership to Counter U.S.” (Note 18) says

“Russia declared its intention to avoid cooperation with NASA while it courts Beijing as a potential partner in space exploration, Ars Technica reported Monday. ‘Frankly speaking, we are not interested,’ Dmitry Rogozin, chief of Russia’s state-owned space corporation, said of a possible joint venture to the moon with the U.S. space agency. Comparing American moon exploration to invading Afghanistan and Iraq, Rogozin said American officials ‘see their program not as international but as similar to NATO.’ Meanwhile, Moscow announced plans for future space ventures with Beijing. ‘We respect their results,’ Rogozin said of the PRC. In space, China ‘is definitely our partner’ moving forward, he added. Other Russian officials have touted cooperation with China in recent years as the two nations collaborate on energy pipelines and transport corridors in the Arctic. ‘Today, China is our strategic partner,’ Russian president Vladimir Putin said in 2015. China has long worked to counter American interests in space. As early as 2007, the PRC tested anti-satellite missiles capable of disrupting internet and communications systems. If such an attack were successful, the United States ‘could be propelled back into the nineteenth century,’ said Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy professor and former Air Force adviser William C. Martel.”

i) In another article titled “‘Long Live Syria! Down with Assad!’ Russia’s
Syrian Proxy Shouts”(Note 19) says

“Moscow used its South Syrian proxy, the Fifth Corps, to send a message to Bashar Assad in Damascus. This telling slogan was shouted on Aug. 1 in the presence of Russian officers at a passing-out parade of 1,000 Russian- trained recruits of the Fifth Corps. This militia was established earlier this year to nail down Moscow’s role as the boss of southern Syria. It rules three regions, Daraa, Quneitra and Jebel Druze. Most of the volunteers joining up are former rebels, some of them southern Syrian fighters against the Assad regime who were in Israel’s pay during the civil war. Installed as their commander is Ahmed al- Awdah, a colorful former rebel, reputed to hold a degree in English literature who is known to have changed sides more than once. Today, he answers directly to a Russian general. The Fifth Corps, most of whose recruits are Sunni Muslims, acts as a living barrier against Iranian, pro-Iranian or Hizballah intrusion or any attempts to to challenge Russian control of southern Syria. And so the slogan, 'Long Live Syria! Down with Assad!' coming from the throats of a thousand new Russian-trained Syrian recruits, at a parade attended by a Russian colonel and other officers, would have resounded jarringly in the ears of Bashar Assad and his regime. Vladimir Putin was telling him from Awdah’s Bosra headquarters in the South where the power, that guaranteed his survival by military intervention, stands today and what is planned in the Kremlin for his country and regime. If there was any doubt about those intentions, Russian officers have also been making their way to the eastern province of Der Ezzour to raise local talent for pushing the Iranian Guards out of this Syrian-Iraqi border region. Steps are therefore in motion for asserting Russian domination in the Eastern Euphrates into the bargain.”

Russia Friend or Foe? - Revisited - Part VII

"For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." I Thessalonians 5:3

This post shows that Russia is not our friend but an enemy to the United States of America and is planning a future attack on this nation.

3. America's Enemies, Russia's Friends
While the United States continues to fight the war on terrorism, Russia is supplying many of these enemies with weapons of mass destruction. To prove that Russia is supplying many of the enemies of the United States, I will quote articles from news sources around the world.

d) An article titled "Russia Denies Building Nuclear Reactor In Syria"(Note 14) says

"A senior advisor to the Russian Minister of Atomic Energy dismissed as mistaken Wednesday the Russian foreign ministry announcement that Moscow was building a nuclear reactor in Syria......The Russian foreign ministry announcement, which appeared on its official Web site, said that the two nations had reached "basic agreement" on the construction of a reactor, adding that the cooperative effort was aimed at "peaceful needs"....... The Russian Tass news agency reported that Moscow and Damascus had already reached agreement on building the reactor, and that the subject was to be on the agenda for the vice president's Wednesday talks with Russian officials."

e) An article titled "Russia Sells Missiles To Sudan, Syria, Libya Among 7 Nations Designated By U.S. As State Sponsor of Terrorism"(Note 15) says

"The United States has determined that Russia continues to sell missiles and rocket-propelled grenades to such countries as Libya, Sudan and Syria. The State Department has identified a series of state-owned Russian companies as selling the weapons to the three Arab countries over the last two years. U.S. official said the Moscow government ignored repeated warnings to halt the sales of the conventional weapons.....Libya, Sudan and Syria are among the seven countries that the United States has designated as state sponsors of terrorism. The others on the State Department list are Cuba, Iran, Iraq and North Korea."

Notice all these 7 countries are friends with Russia today.

f) An article titled "Missiles Smuggled Into U.S."(Note 16) says

"The U.S. government has alerted airlines and law enforcement agencies that new intelligence indicates that Islamic terrorists have smuggled shoulder- fired anti-aircraft missiles into the United States. Classified intelligence reports circulated among top Bush administration policymakers during the past two weeks identified the missiles as Russian-made SA-7 surface-to-air missiles or U.S. -made Stinger anti-aircraft missiles obtained covertly in Afghanistan, said intelligence officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity."

g) An article titled “Iran, Russia, China to Hold Joint Wargames in
‘Message to the World’”(Note 17) says

“Iran, China, and Russia will hold in the coming weeks their first-ever joint war drills, which leaders say are meant to send a ‘message to the world’ about increased military cooperation between the rogue countries. The commander of Iran's navy, Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi, said Wednesday that the Islamic Republic will team up with Moscow and Beijing within the next month to hold the mass war drills. ’When we talk about joint wargames, we are talking about two or more countries with a high level of relations in various political, economic and social fields, which culminate in cooperation in the military sector, with wargames usually being the highest level of such cooperation,’ Khanzadi was quoted as saying in remarks to Iran's state-controlled press. ’A joint wargame between several countries, whether on land, at sea, or in the air, indicates a remarkable expansion of cooperation among them,’ the military leader said. The joint war drills will be aimed at sending a message to the world, particularly Western nations, like the United States, that have sought to constrain Iran's expanding military ambitions.”

While the United States continues to fight the war on terrorism, Russia is supplying many of these enemies with weapons of mass destruction. To prove that Russia is supplying many of the enemies of the United States, I will quote articles from news sources around the world.

a) The article titled "Russia Rips CIA Report On Technology" (Note 11) says

"Russia angrily denounced a CIA report that questions the Kremlin's willingness and ability to prevent the spread of dangerous technology, a sign of renewed tension following a sharp improvement in relations in the wake of the Sept. 11 terror attacks......This is the first time in recent years that an official American document makes an attempt to question the devotion, willingness and ability of the Russian government to prevent the leakage of sensitive products and technology abroad, The Foreign Ministry said. Russia strictly meets its international obligations to control the export of sensitive trade and technology. CIA Director George Tenet told Congress on Wednesday that Russia is one of the leading suppliers of nuclear technology and missiles to countries hostile to the United States and remains the first choice of nations seeking nuclear technology and training.....President Vladimir Putin has lent strong support for the U.S.- led campaign in Afghanistan, saying Russia long ago recognized the worldwide threat of terrorism. But President Bush's denunciation of Iraq, Iran and North Korea as part of an 'axis of evil' that must stop pursuing weapons of mass destruction or face consequences presented a challenge to Russia, which has friendly ties with all three."

b) An article titled "Russia, Iran Agree On Nuclear Reactor"(Note 12) states

"Russia brushed aside strong U.S. criticism on Wednesday and said it had agreed with Tehran to speed up building of a $800 million nuclear reactor in Iran and to consider constructing another. The United States, which has branded Iran part of an 'axis of evil' for allegedly developing weapons of mass destruction, fiercely opposes the Islamic Republic's nuclear program."

c) In an article titled "Iraq Buys GPS Scramblers From Russia" (Note 13) it says

"Iraq has obtained global positioning satellite scrambling devices that could play havoc with U.S. smart bombs, the Pentagon says, according to a Fox News Channel report. According to the report, the GPS scramblers - about the size of a clock radio - have been positioned around the borders of Iraq in an effort to throw satellite-guided bombs away from targets."

2. Treaty Signer, Treaty Breaker
In an article titled "NF Nuclear Treaty: US Pulls Out Of Cold War-Era Pact With Russia" (Note 9) it states
"The US has formally withdrawn from a key nuclear treaty with Russia, raising fears of a new arms race. The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) was signed by US President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1987. It banned missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 km (310-3,400 miles). But earlier this year the US and Nato accused Russia of violating the pact by deploying a new type of cruise missile, which Moscow has denied. The Americans said they had evidence that Russia had deployed a number of 9M729 missiles - known to Nato as SSC-8. This accusation was then put to Washington's Nato allies, which all backed the US claim. 'Russia is solely responsible for the treaty's demise,' Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement on Friday. 'With the full support of our Nato allies, the United States has determined Russia to be in material breach of the treaty, and has subsequently suspended our obligations under the treaty,' he added."
In another article titled "Large-Scale Russian Treaty Violations Revealed On Eve Of New Talks" (Note 10 ) it states
"The Trump administration revealed on the eve of new arms talks with Russia nine major arms control agreement compliance failures by Moscow. Special U.S. arms control envoy Marshall Billingslea said the sole positive finding in the forthcoming State Department annual report on arms compliance is Moscow’s adherence to the terms of the 2010 New START. However, Mr. Billingslea said extending the treaty, set to expire in February, remains uncertain. 'This year’s arms control report documents Russia’s abysmal track record in complying with its promises,' Mr. Billingslea told The Washington Times. 'These aren’t trivial arms control violations,' he said. 'These are invasions of countries, assassination attempts and blowing up a 30-year-plus treaty through its violations.' . . . . The report also addresses U.S. 'concerns with Russia’s activities related to its commitments under the Biological Weapons Convention,' a senior State Department official said. Violations of the Vienna Document, part of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, include Russian stationing forces in Georgia’s Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the report says. Moscow is violating the 1975 Helsinki Final Act by arming and training anti- government forces fighting in Eastern Ukraine, the report notes. The Conventional Forces in Europe agreement is being violated by Russia’s stationing of military forces in Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine without those nations’ consent."
We see from these articles that Russia is using deception by signing treaties it doesn't intend to keep.
