The Kosovo bombing may well be marked as the turning point that convinced Russia and China that the U.S.-European move to world government represents a real threat to their respective sovereignties. As DTT detailed in May, 1999 the Kosovo bombing had little to do with stopping ethnic cleansing by Serbia, and everything to do with establishing the right of the international community to intervene in the affairs of sovereign nations. Stratfor Intelligence reported in late October, 1999, that an international investigation lead by the FBI has found fewer than 200 Albanian Kosovar bodies of the 10,000 or more that were allegedly massacred by Serbs.

This massive deception was not lost on either Russia or China. Their backs are against the wall. With a veiled U.S.-European controlled world government likely to be presented at the UN planned Millennium Summit in September 2000, they know they must make their move soon or lose control of their respective destinies. Russia and China have repeatedly warned that they will not permit U.S. "hegemony" or "unipolar" (dominance) of the world.

Russia began to mobilize its 1.2 million man military during the Kosovo bombing. Russian analyst Jeff Nyquist reported evidence in the October 11 WorldNetDaily that Russia has called up its reserves, drafted 200,000 to 300,000 military-aged individuals and conscripted almost anyone having medical experience. Furthermore, noted Nyquist, "last summer Russia curtailed gasoline and diesel fuel exports, as well as exports of fuel oil. Almost a year ago Russia cut her oil exports by more than 25 percent while increasing oil imports from Iraq. But Russia is supposedly broke! She desperately needs cash, and 45 percent of Russia’s $80 billion in exports in 1997 came from fuel exports."

Nyquist and other analysts believe Russia is amassing this huge fuel reserve because it is mobilizing its military forces to record post-Soviet levels. The November, 1990, Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty (CFE) limits Russia from deploying more than 20,000 battle tanks, 30,000 other armored vehicles, 20,000 artillery tubes, 6,800 combat aircraft, and 2,000 attack helicopters west of the Urals, which includes all of Western Russia. The Kremlin admitted last month that they are exceeding this limit, probably by a substantial amount.

Furthermore, the humiliating showing by the Russian military in the 1994-96 Chechnya war was not due to an incompetent military, but by deliberate political constraints placed on the military by the Kremlin, according to a November 9 article in the London Telegraph. That is no longer the case. The Telegraph article provides strong evidence that the Generals and KGB are in direct control of today’s war in Chechnya. The myth that the Russian military has crumbled is a dangerous illusion.

Russia claims this huge mobilization is needed to put down the Muslim revolt in Chechnya. Yet, Nyquist provides strong evidence in November Dispatches magazine that the entire Chechnya war is being staged as a cover for the huge mobilization effort. Chechnya is tiny. Lying between the Black and Caspian Seas, it is only about 76 miles square. The mobilization is overkill by orders of magnitude.

Although Russia is employing a scorched earth policy in Chechnya that would make Slobodan Milosevic blush, there may be a more obvious reason for the huge mobilization. It positions this military hardware about 1200 miles from Israel and the rich oil fields of the Persian Gulf—a very inviting target to a nation that is self-destructing economically.

However, to make a major winter military move around the Caucasus Mountains to the south, Russia must neutralize the U.S. while it is in a state of false complacency and castrated leadership. While Nyquist cites numerous rumors from soldiers and relief groups in Russia that it is planning a nuclear war against the U.S., Russia may not take the U.S. head on. The fact that Russia has been forming military and trade alliances with China and North Korea strongly support this premise. Like Russia, both nations are in economic trouble, both have been undergoing huge military mobilizations and both are severely warning the U.S. to stay out of their business with Taiwan, and South Korea. (See DTT, August, 1999)

If true, the flashpoint may be triggered through the new Russian military agreements with Syria, Iran and Iraq. Joseph de Courcy, editor of the highly respected journal Intelligence Digest reported in September that "Moscow has agreed to back Saddam’s secret plan of revenge. With this all-important Russian backing, Saddam is joining with hated Iran and Syria to launch one final war against Israel. Amazingly, Saddam will allow Iranian troops to cross Iraqi territory to join the attack on Israel. And to keep America from interfering, Moscow has given Osma bin Laden and other terrorists the means to attack American population centers with weapons of mass destruction. The threat is real...and the implications terrifying...."

In a February 7, 1999, interview by NewsMax.com with Col. Stanislav Lunev, the Russian Colonel confirmed that the Russian war manual calls for detonating a series of pre-positioned "suitcase nuclear bombs at strategic locations" in the U.S. Lunev is the highest Russian military officer ever to defect to the U.S. The November 7, 1999, issue of the New York Post cites growing FBI and Congressional concern that Russia has already pre-positioned suitcase nuclear bombs in the U.S.

Should one or more of these bombs be used in the near future, it could be blamed on Osma bin Laden who is reported to have 20 of these nuclear bombs, deflecting blame from Russia. The resulting chaos and confusion in the U.S. could allow China’s and North Korea’s already pre-positioned troops to move against Taiwan and South Korea, respectively. Russia can then move to reclaim its lost territories and launch a southern invasion of Israel and the Persian Gulf, just as described in Ezekiel 38 and 39 (See Gog and Magog Side-bar).

Since President Clinton has gutted our military (See DTT, August, 1999), the U.S. does not have the capability to fight a multi-front war. The only option the U.S. would have is nuclear retaliation. But, Clinton has already said he would never use this option under these conditions. Especially when Russia would threaten to unleash its new state-of-the-art nuclear missiles on the U.S., while being protected itself by a reported 12,000 Anti-Ballistic Missiles and huge city-sized underground nuclear bomb shelters.
