This new accord with Turkey is something that Vladimir Putin may come to regret. Putin has apparently forgotten that back in 2015, he said he had proof that Turkey had shot down a Russian plane in order to protect ISIS oil supplies. Does he think Erdogan has forgotten that? His backing of Turkey’s neo-caliphate also demonstrates that Putin is unaware of history: the Ottoman Empire and Russia were bitter enemies for centuries. Does Putin think that Erdogan’s neo-caliphate will be different?
“Turkey’s Erdogan says missile deal with Russia is final,” by Suzan Fraser, Associated Press, April 3, 2018 (thanks to Mark):
ANKARA, Turkey — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday that his country’s plan to purchase Russia’s long-range missile defense system is a “done deal,” brushing aside concerns from some NATO allies.
Story continues below advertisementErdogan appeared at a joint news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was in Ankara for his first foreign visit since his March 18 re-election. Both the defense system agreement and Putin’s visit underscore the intensifying ties between Turkey and Russia.
In December, they finalized a deal for Turkey to purchase Russia’s long-range S-400 missile defense system, raising eyebrows among some of Turkey’s fellow NATO members.
“We have made an agreement regarding the S-400s. That subject is closed. It’s a done deal,” Erdogan said.
The warming relations between the two countries stand in contrast to the souring relations between Russia and the West over the poisoning in Britain of a Russian ex-spy. Turkey’s relations with its Western allies also have deteriorated over human rights issues and its military operations against Kurdish militia in Syria.
The Turkish leader spoke of “attempts to poison Turkish-Russian cooperation” and added: “Thank God our relations navigated these difficult tests with success. With every failed provocation, our relationship strengthened, just like steel after iron is quenched with water.”
Putin said Russia will manufacture the S-400 missiles at a quicker pace than initially planned to deliver them more quickly per Ankara’s request.
“We have decided to speed up the delivery of those highly efficient systems,” he added.
Earlier, the two leaders symbolically launched the start of the construction of Turkey’s first nuclear power plant, which will be built by Russia near the Mediterranean coast at Akkuyu.
Putin hailed the project as a symbol of growing cooperation between Russia and Turkey.
“We face the ambitious goal of launching the first reactor in 2023 to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Republic of Turkey,” the Russian leader said. “We agreed with my dear friend, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to do everything necessary to achieve that goal.”
Erdogan said the power plant would meet 10 percent of Turkey’s energy needs after all reactors become operational.
The Akkuyu plant is being built by Russia’s nuclear energy agency, Rosatom. The project is estimated to cost $20 billion….

We live in fascinating times!
Christians – COMMENTS WELCOME!
Christians, what are your thoughts on this?
Daniel 11:40-42
40] And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
[41] He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
[42] He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
Students of Bible prophecy have often wondered about the role of the “king of the South” in the end time. Daniel 11 describes the back-and-forth fighting and intrigue between the Seleucid Empire based in Syria—the king of the North—and the Ptolemaic Empire of Egypt—the king of the South. Obviously, during the time of their conflict, these nations were north and south of Jerusalem, respectively, and their battlegrounds were often in the land of Israel.
Neither of these two empires exists any longer. However, verse 40 speaks of “the time of the end,” meaning the period just before the return of Jesus Christ. Which nations, then, are the kings of the North and the South?
…
We should also note verses 41-42. In them, God directs our attention to the area targeted by the king of the North: “the Glorious Land”—the land of Israel—Edom, Moab, Ammon (all three part of modern Jordan), and Egypt. It is clear that, if this prophecy speaks of our day, the king of the South is represented by the Arab peoples of the Middle East.
Could we be seeing this prophecy beginning to come to pass? Perhaps the waves of predominantly Muslim immigrants into Europe have woken the emerging colossus of the North to some of the troubles the clash of cultures can cause. If these problems should be combined with terrorist attacks on European soil of the magnitude of the September 11 bombings, an armed response would seem to be unavoidable.
However, the leader, the person who is the king of the North, is still lacking. No strong man has stood up in Europe to take the lead in solving some of these problems. The stage, though, is being set for such a ruler to galvanize both the leadership and citizenry of Europe to unite to fight against the enemies of their civilization (see Revelation 17:9-14).
Though it is probably not the catalyst, Europe’s immigration woes could provide some of the fuel for the coming conflagration. This is an area on which Christians should keep a watchful eye (Mark 13:32-37).

I am not one to quote the Bible, as I am far from qualified. Your post, however, substantiates my belief of the Bible’s prophesies. Every generation has predicted ‘The End is Near’ for millennia; hence, many pooh-pooh the Bible’s soothsaying. I, for one, do not, if this forlorn planet has ever neared Armageddon, it is now or in the not too distant future. Israel will be at the crux, as always, and will not fall to the Nihilistic entities, political or faith, bent on her annihilation, followed by the West’s decline or demise. Our existence is codependent with Israel’s; ironically, the anti-Semitic/Israel EU and others cannot discern the true enemies of Western Civilization, Islam and Liberal Progressivism.

Thank you for commenting!!!!
Frankly I get a bit nervous bringing it up because I am a lay person. However I can’t ignore what I am seeing. What I see different here versus other times is the GLOBAL craziness. It’s not isolated like WW1 or WW2. I see the same twisted agenda being pushed by countries and even in education – GLOBALLY.
I agree with you! It’s unfortunate that other generations jumped the gun on prophecy. Today more pieces are in place. After 1948 when Israel became a country is when I see things moving in a prophetic direction. I can’t help but see a “delusion” going on.
2Thes.2:11
[11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
I believe Islam is part of that delusion.

Do you believe that you will live to see the end of the world? You won’t, nor will I, it’s a long way off.
Do we need to make things more complicated for ourselves? We’ll be long dead when the S- hits the fan.
As adults, it’s up to us to make the world a better place while we’re here. It should be a better place when we leave, than what it was when we were born into it. We do this for the future of humanity.
As parents, we make the world a better place for our children. We teach them all that we can, as best as we can, how to take care of themselves, how to deal with the world. We teach them to do as well as we have done, if not better. We teach them timeless values and give them a moral compass. Do you have kids, think of all that you have to do to teach them the aforementioned. Think of all the time and energy it takes to do a good job. With all that such a task requires, how can you let thoughts of the times of the end of the world take you away from what means more to you than anything else, your children?
Am I wrong, naive, an irresponsible child? Isn’t it human nature to make life better for ourselves? Working towards this goal, beyond a certain point becomes consuming. Do you believe this, is this true for you? Are you worried too much about something that is not solely in your hands? If you have kids, wouldn’t you rather love them, teach them, and spend more time with them while you are with them on earth?
I’m Roman Catholic. I believe in God, a higher intelligence than human. I see how we humans are different, I also see how God is everywhere and everything, including us, within us. Some may say this is quantum entanglement. I can also see how, through QE, we humans as a species living all over the world, in different cultures, social setting and political landscapes, still have a lot in common. I’ve put a lot of things into perspective, and I see you with your questions simply doing the same.
Perhaps the one thing that has by far helped the most, is this. I believe all the answers we seek are within us and they are represented by us, by our own existence. We are a solution, a result of a formula we will never solve. As we are not the higher intelligence, God as I believe, I will never be able to answer all the questions we have ever asked ourselves. As my life will someday end, the questions will remain in others and stay with us into the future. I hope others will find the peace that I have.
F- pisslam.

We have peace following God and understanding that it is very possible His second coming may happen in our lifetime. He gave us clues in the Bible to understand when that times comes to not be fearful. It is a comfort! God wants us to understand what we are able to understand.
I am not suggesting you refrain from doing the right thing on this earth or enjoying what you can from living on earth. The Holy Spirit is a comfort too that indwells within all believers. I don;t suggest to just give up and put your feet up in resignation. I also know God is in control. Man will never create a peaceful earth. We are the problem and not the solution because all of us are imperfect. Our world will always be flawed, however today there is GLOBAL madness that we have not seen before.
I have peace in my life on earth now – regardless of what happens! I like other Christians, see heaven and His return as superior to what this earth could ever offer. So for us, we do what is right while on this earth and obey God which includes looking out for signs if they are present for His second coming. We just can’t keep our collective heads in the sand! The temporal doesn’t not blind us to the eternal and shouldn’t for Christians. I see it as living in bittersweet times. Maybe I am wrong about His second coming, who knows! Either way it is a win win for Christians. If we must experience a physical death, heaven awaits us.

Whether we can or should have peace, is very much up to us. God gave us free will to make our own decisions. With or without God, death (or the end of the world) is nothing to fear. When I faced death and accepted my mortality, I was literally able to go into battle with the clearest conscience, sharp focus, composure, confidence and peace like I ever experienced in my life. This came even when God is still, to me, not understood.
God is in control.
God can take control, may eventually do so, but this doesn’t mean that I see it or understand it. This is so true when I see man living and killing as he does.
Man will never create a peaceful earth.
Man has not always been at war, this is true when we were our most primitive. We were more concerned with the day to day survival. (Mating was less than tender and affectionate but we were otherwise “at peace”.)
Prof. Garret Fagan tell us that chimpanzees have been seen killing other chimpanzees for absolutely no appearant reason than for the pleasure of killing. And of course humans fight and go to war. We observe bonobos and see that they do not kill or go to war as humans do. Anthropologist, Dr. Barbara J King says that human beings are often thought to have evolved from apes but this is a common misconception. Apes, including chimps, bonobos, and humans ALL had the same ancestor. For some reason it’s in the nature of chimps and humans to fight while bonobos are lovers, not fighters. Read about it and you’ll see why homosexual human beings, well….
Our human flaw is our human (perhaps genetic) nature. Humans fight and humans are not, by nature, monogomous. Wolves, swans, prairie volves, french angelfish and others will mate with only one specific mate for their entire lives because it’s in their nature. Marriage goes against our own human nature yet we get married anyway. We share (~)98.8% of our DNA (I don’t exactly remember) with bonobos but don’t live in peace as they do. Chimps appear to be flawed as humans but they’re smart enough not to marry.
At this point, I don’t think about Jesus’ coming, nor am I holding my breath for it. I know nothing more than my earthly existence and thus, I’m not holding my breath for heaven either. My heaven is the love I have in those I choose to have close to me.

As a Christian, I could never view any human being as a descendant of an ape or some other animal. The Bible is clear, human beings are not animals! There is no “link” either. I am crafted in God’s image and my God is not an “ape” or a “chimp”.
If you want to believe you are derived from an animal, you can do so! If you reject Christianity, you can do that too! It’s a choice! As for us, we accept Christ and all He states with science backing it up.
God allows all humans to make choices. Being a Christian doesn’t make you a robot. He wants you to willingly follow Him. There is no point in forcing anyone to follow Him. Many cherry pick what they prefer to believe and too influence by atheists and those that are anti-Christian.
Marriage does go against the nature of males who are visual. Females want a monogamous relationship. Even males, if they jump from one female to another get tired of it. They want emotional satisfaction and not just physical satisfaction. It is the emotional aspect that makes it complete, otherwise it becomes an unsatisfying empty experience. Ah and children are a blessing! We love our kids and they have turned out well. Yes, sometime they can challenge you but you have to hang in there as I am sure you know.
The idea that we are related to chimps was debunked years ago! Dr. Poythress explains, chimp and human DNA only appear “99%” identical IF:
* repeated sequences are ignored
* only sections that “align naturally” are compared,
* and the only differences noted are single base-pair substitutions.
Thus, extra sequences of DNA—commonly called “insertions” and “deletions”—are ignored.
When they are included among the differences, the figure becomes “96%.” Note that even these names—insertions and deletions—imply an assumption of evolutionary modifications by which the DNA of a common ancestor was gradually modified over time. But the science cannot look back to the genome of an imagined evolutionary ancestor. And a great deal of DNA, when chimps and humans are compared, simply does not correspond at all and is therefore completely absent from the oft-quoted statistics.
…
Furthermore, though not covered in Poythress’s essay, when the DNA sequences are compared more objectively without pre-selecting sequences and filtering the data, the chimp and human genomes are only about 70% similar.
For more detailed information I refer you to:

Not shocking, this alliance has been in the shadows for some time. Erdogan’s, a tyrannical Islamist, snuggling up to Putin is a shared power-play, tossing you-know into the proverbial fan back into the faces of the West, the EU and NATO. So, will this alliance revise the geopolitical view the West’s leadership? A rhetorical question: No.

Turkey is no longer our ally, thanks to Obama… DEMS have done their best to poison any kind of a working relationship with the U.S. and Russia…. My best guess is that it will polarize the geopolitical view even more.
The EU is anti-Israel and anti-U.S.. The EU is snuggling up to Muslim countries. For example, Germany is making chemical weapons for Iran. The EU is helping Muslim countries bring about their own demise all for a few bucks. It’s like watching a fascinating horror show.

Indeed, Felix, Obama and his Democrat comrades have done much to undermine the US, Russian relationship. Polarization, as mentioned, has widened the geopolitical overview and it is not near its conclusion. The EU will get its comeuppance for its alliances with Islam and others whose bent is the downfall of Israel and the USA. The fetid inner-workings of the duplicitous EU, the UN, its body politic will become a deserved horror show; payback for their treacherous intent is not far away.

That is the best website the fully explains the grotesque corruption going on. Mueller is filthy. Rosenstein back dates memos to CYA. It’s beyond ridiculous what is going on. Comey was Mueller’s protege. Comey goes back to the Arkansas days with the Clintons! They all need to be fired and put in prison.
Sundance has a good handle on ALL the stuff going on.Sometimes I skip going over there because it is so disgusting – the corruption and we as taxpayers fund the DEMS on this witch hunt. SO far we have spent five million on it. It’s a feeding frenzy for liberals. Sickening.

Rosatom is the Russian firm connected to the Clinton foundation uranium sale, So Hillary is kicked back 50% of the profit from the sale of 20% of US uranium to Rosatom. . Estimated to be at 145 million per month. Which also kicks back to the DNC to elect Democrats and RINO’s who will block any investigation into Hillary corruption. So Hillary is illegally selling our Uranium to Russia for payment to bribe everyone not to prosecute, this is probably why Comey, Mueller,McCabe and the entire Obama aparatus remained ignorant of and protected Hillary… millions of retirement funds await them in Switzerland as long as they block any investigation.
Hillary sends Russia the actual uranium to make bombs.. which Russia may give to Syria, Iran, even North Korea. This Uranium could possibly be used against the USA. and Hillary points at Trump and shouts Trump colluded with Russia….

I remember standing in a phone boot talking to a Motorola salesperson, in San Francisco, 1986.
I was heading back to Belgium, and I was intrested in obtaining samples of the 6809 microprocessor, and I was filled with joy that these were available and even free ! But my joy was short lived as the salesman then stated that these were forbidden for export to Belgium, as these parts were considered strategic material, and could absolutely not be exported. Later, that processor showed up in gaming computers everywhere.
I guess my name is not Clinton, I wanted to make doorbells and thermostats with that chip, not cruise missiles.
