WND.com reports: “Russia is on its way once again to becoming a world military power, based on promises by Russian President Vladimir Putin and what he is projecting in the way of defense spending over the next six years, says a report from Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.

Putin wants to ‘reindustrialize Russia’ by rebuilding the defense industry while creating some 25 million new ‘high-tech jobs’ during his six-year term in an effort to transform its military into an ‘iron fist’ against the West.

Deputy Prime Minister for Armaments Dmitry Rogozin, who was Russia’s chief representative to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization headquarters in Brussels until last year and an ardent supporter of Putin, envisions this effort, as promised by Putin in his election campaign last year, to make Russia a world major industrial power once again.

Rogozin said that the West only recognizes what he calls ‘raw military power,’ adding that ‘smart power’ and ‘soft power’ are ‘only nice words.’…” (Russia will not be victorious in the battle of Armageddon — Ezekiel 39:1, 2, 5, 12, and 13. Christ returns to stop the bloodbath – Revelation 14:20; and sets up His glorious kingdom rule of peace for 1,000 years. See Revelation 19:11, 14, 15; and 20:4.)
