This historian predicts that the USA will invade Iran by ground, will lose that war and retreat, and Israel will completely take over the government of the USA (already controls it to a great extent), and Israel will take over all of the middle east, and will then set its sights on Turkey. I tend to believe this is true, since the Bible indicates that Jerusalem in the end times will rule the world, and that Jerusalem will show itself to be Babylon the Great Prostitute described in Revelation.
