This

 


is such a good point.


War has become normalized.

And here before to much longer?

They are all going to start overlapping.


Matthew 24:6-13

6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.


India’s Pakistan strikes 

show how warfare has been 

normalised again


"...shifting of goalposts amid Gaza and Ukraine conflicts suggests Kashmir crisis could escalate."

"India’s string of attacks on Pakistan overnight – a response, Delhi says, to the killing of 26 in a terror attack in Kashmir last month – comes at a time when 

warfare has become 

increasingly normalised internationally 

and the restraints 

of the global diplomatic system weakened.


 (Thessalonians 2:7 

7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but 

the one who now holds it back 

will continue to do so 

till he is taken out of the way.


Consider it done.)


"Though flare-ups between the two south Asian powers are nothing new, India’s Operation Sindoor is already notably more aggressive than recent military actions launched by Delhi against its neighbour in 2016 and 2019, raising the stakes for Pakistan’s promised response to what it says was “an act of war”.


"Nine locations were targeted in the operation, India said, and its military released video of what it said were “terrorist camps” being bombed in Pakistan. Four of the targets were in Pakistan’s populous Punjab region, which had not been attacked by India since the two countries fought a full-scale war in 1971."


"It is an uncomfortable moment, not least because India and Pakistan possess considerable stocks of nuclear weapons, each with about 170 warheads. Their armies and air forces are sizeable: India has 1.23 million troops and more than 500 combat jets, against 560,000 for Pakistan and more than 400 combat jets."


"Though nobody seriously expects all-out fighting, changes to the global context suggest that violence between the two nuclear powers could escalate. Shelling has already been taking place across both sides of the line of control in Kashmir,"


“Over the past three years, the idea that countries do not go to war has disappeared."

(Post-Covid BTW)


"It’s a daily reality and one that has expanded the realms of the imagination for hawkish planners in hotspots around the world,” said Samir Puri, from the Chatham House thinktank."


"Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022 and continues with daily missile and drone attacks amid unconvincing US mediation efforts. Israel is now planning to seize Gaza in its renewed offensive against Hamas, as Donald Trump appears to have lost interest in trying to end a war in which more than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed."


"Countries thousands of miles apart have attacked each other. Iran twice launched complex long-range attacks on Israel in 2024 –

“we are in a world 

where rivals and enemies 

are increasingly willing 

to lob missiles at each other,” 

said Puri. North Korea has sent troops to fight along side Russia in Ukraine, though western powers will not send troops to help Kyiv."


"Military responses are less carefully calibrated. A rocket fired by Yemen’s Houthi rebels that injured four when it landed near Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport on Sunday morning led to an Israeli counterattack that caused $500m (£375m) in damage to Sana’a airport, levelled terminal buildings and destroyed six planes. The Houthis vowed to carry on attacking Israel."


"Concepts of proportionality, designed to limit civilian casualties, have been strained to the point of obsolescence..."


"As the conflicts have flared up, the US, the world’s dominant power, appears unwilling or unable to effectively restrain them.


(Thessalonians 2:7 

7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but 

the one who now holds it back 

will continue to do so 

till he is taken out of the way.

I just don't think its very complicated TBH.)


"Pakistan, once considered a US ally in the “war on terror”, has largely been dropped by Washington after its withdrawal from Afghanistan. India, Puri says, may believe that “criticism of its actions from the US president isn’t coming, or if it is coming, it’s not particularly heartfelt”, giving it licence to be more aggressive than it otherwise would be."


"...such is the breakdown in norms in state behaviour that not only is war no longer considered taboo, 

it could be argued 

that a new age of global conflict 

has begun."


How long till they start overlapping?


AND

The key question

as always

is:


DO YOU KNOW


AND UNDERSTAND


WHY ALL OF THIS


IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?


Aint but one way out.




Promise.
