Russia threatens the entire EU, bloc’s chief tells AFP

March 20, 2025 — SpaceWar.com reports: “Russia represents a threat for all European nations — regardless of how far they lie from Moscow, EU chief Antonio Costa told AFP ahead of a leaders’ summit on Thursday.

‘Naturally, Russia’s neighbours are most concerned by Russia — that goes without saying,’ Costa said in an interview. ‘But what is essential is for everyone to understand that this is a collective threat.’

As head of the Council representing the EU’s member states, the 63-year-old Costa is tasked with forging unity — be it on European rearmament or transatlantic relations — between 27 countries with often divergent histories and goals.

In Brussels this week, leaders’ talks will once again be dominated by how to support Ukraine and bolster Europe’s defences.

With US President Donald Trump forging ahead with Russia’s Vladimir Putin on negotiating a ceasefire in Ukraine, Costa voiced confidence Europe would have a role to play in any discussions on the country’s future.

‘Under the leadership of France and the United Kingdom, we are preparing to take part in eventual security measures to maintain peace — if and when it comes,’ he said…”  (Russia in Bible prophecy is the main instigator of death and suffering during Armageddon – Revelation 16:16.  Ezekiel chapters 38 & 39, which Dr. Van Impe proclaimed for sixty years, aided by Oriental and Islamic nations, bring total chaos and atomic devastation upon the world.  Worse yet, it’s just ahead of us.  Every nation he included in World War III is forming exactly as he taught about this global blood bath six decades ago.  The only good news is that the Rapture precedes Armageddon – Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth – Revelation 3:10.  Then our deliverance as believers – Revelation 4:1 and our joy because of missing Armageddon.)

EU: Russia, China hitting West with ‘massive digital arsenals’

March 18, 2025 — SpaceWar.com reports: “The European Union on Tuesday said Russia and China were using ‘massive digital arsenals’ to interfere in Western democracies, while their messaging around the war in Ukraine had become increasingly aligned.

‘Foreign information manipulation and interference is a major security threat to the EU,’ foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said in a report.

‘We must not underestimate the power that this has over us, or the intentions of those behind it.’

In its latest annual report on the subject Brussels said that last year it tracked disinformation attacks against over 80 countries and more than 200 organisations.

The war in Ukraine remains a major target for Russia — but events such as the Olympics in Paris, elections in Moldova and farmers’ protests in Germany were also in the crosshairs.

‘The aim is to destabilise our societies, damage our democracies, drive wedges between us and our partners and undermine the EU’s global standing,’ Kallas said…”  (China will become a basic partner with Russia for the rapidly approaching battle of Armageddon – Revelation 16:16. Russia will lead invasion number one – Ezekiel 38 & 39. China will lead invasion number two – Revelation 16:12; Revelation 9:14 – 16. Then all nations will come against Jerusalem for the final invasion at which point Jesus will return to stop the bloodshed and set up his eternal kingdom upon earth – [He gathers] all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken… Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south – Zechariah 14:2 – 4. Then Psalm 2:6 occurs as God the Father says: …I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion [Jerusalem].  See the next report.)

March 3, 2025 — SpaceWar.com reports: “Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday met top Russian security official Sergei Shoigu in Beijing, Chinese state media said.

Shoigu’s trip comes days after Xi spoke with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, with the Chinese leader hailing Moscow’s ‘positive efforts to defuse’ the Ukraine crisis.

Speaking to Shoigu at Beijing’s Great Hall of the People, Xi called China and Russia ‘friendly neighbours’ and said the two sides would ‘maintain close communication at all levels’, according to Xinhua.

Xi added that the countries would this year implement a ‘series of important agendas’ for China-Russia ties.

China’s foreign minister Wang Yi also attended the talks.

Moscow and Beijing have strengthened military and trade ties since Russia sent troops into Ukraine, though China has sought to depict itself as a neutral party amid the three-year conflict…”

China says to host Russia, Iran for nuclear talks this week

March 12, 2025 — SpaceWar.com reports: “China will host Russia and Iran for trilateral talks on Tehran’s nuclear programme on Friday, Beijing’s foreign ministry said.

‘The three parties will exchange views on the Iranian nuclear issue and other issues of mutual interest,’ a foreign ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday.

The meeting will be attended by China’s Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov and Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi.

The United States withdrew from a landmark deal that had imposed curbs on Iran’s nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief during President Donald Trump’s first term, which ended in 2021.

Tehran adhered to the 2015 deal for a year after Washington’s withdrawal but then began rolling back its commitments.

Efforts to revive the pact have since faltered…”  (Ezekiel 38:5 predicts that Russia, the Orient, and Persia [which changed its name to Iran in 1932] will see millions destroyed through atomic warfare in the Latter Years and Latter Days – Ezekiel 38:8, 16. This battle is described in Revelation 9:14 – 18: Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.  See the next two reports.)

China, Russia back Iran as Trump presses Tehran for nuclear talks

March 14, 2025 — The Jerusalem Post reports: “China and Russia stood by Iran on Friday after the United States demanded nuclear talks with Tehran, with senior Chinese and Russian diplomats saying dialog should only resume based on ‘mutual respect’ and all sanctions ought to be lifted.

In a joint statement issued after talks with Iran in Beijing, China and Russia also said they welcomed Iran’s reiteration that its nuclear program was exclusively for peaceful purposes, and that Tehran’s right to peaceful uses of nuclear energy should be ‘fully’ respected…”

Iran, Russia and China to hold joint naval exercises this week

March 10, 2025 — The Times of Israel reports: “The navies of Iran, Russia and China will hold military drills off the coast of Iran this week in a bid to boost cooperation, Iranian media reported on Sunday.

The three countries, which share a common desire to counter what they characterize as US hegemony, have held similar exercises in the region in recent years.

The drills ‘will begin on Tuesday in the port of Chabahar,’ located in southeast Iran on the Gulf of Oman, the Tasnim news agency said, without specifying their duration.

‘Warships and combat and support vessels of the Chinese and Russian naval forces, as well as the warships of Iran’s naval forces of the army and the Revolutionary Guards’ are expected to participate, according to Tasnim.

The exercises will take place ‘in the northern Indian Ocean’ and aim to ‘strengthen security in the region and expand multilateral cooperation between participating countries,’ Tasnim said…”

Taiwan’s annual war games to simulate 2027 China attack

March 21, 2025 — SpaceWar.com reports: “Taiwanese troops will simulate possible scenarios for a Chinese invasion in 2027 during the island’s annual war games, the defence ministry said Wednesday, as Beijing maintains military pressure on Taipei.

China insists self-ruled Taiwan is part of its territory and has threatened to seize the island by force.

Officials in the United States — Taipei’s main backer and biggest arms supplier — have previously cited 2027 as a possible timeline for a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.

Taiwan’s ‘Han Kuang’ exercises, which the ministry said would be held from July 9-18, are conducted every year across Taiwan to simulate defending the island against Chinese attacks.

In a report submitted to parliament on Wednesday, the ministry said this year’s scenarios would be based on China’s ‘grey-zone’ intrusions and ‘possible actions of the Chinese Communist military’s invasion of Taiwan in 2027’.

‘Commanders at all operational and tactical levels will plan scenarios and situations from a practical perspective based on the possible actions of the enemy,’ the report said.

The aim was to ‘verify the ability of troops at all levels to execute plans, thereby building a military force that can respond quickly and maintain ‘high combat readiness’,’ the report said…”  (China is prophesied to be a top contender and bloody warrior during the battle of Armageddon – Revelation 16:16. Revelation 16:12 pictures Kings coming to the Middle East, primarily China, to slay a third-part of mankind in atomic warfare.

North Korea rejects G7 call for denuclearization, vows to ‘strengthen’ nuclear forces

March 17, 2025 — SpaceWar.com reports: “North Korea on Monday vowed to ‘steadily update and strengthen’ its nuclear arsenal, rejecting a joint statement by the Group of Seven Foreign Ministers calling for Pyongyang to give up its nuclear ambitions.

The North’s Foreign Ministry said its position as a nuclear weapons state has been ‘fixed permanently by the supreme law of its state.’

‘The DPRK’s nuclear armed forces will exist forever as a powerful means of justice which defends the sovereignty of the state, territorial integrity and fundamental interests, prevents a war in the Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia and guarantees a strategic stability of the world,’ the ministry said in a statement carried by state-run Korean Central News Agency.

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is the official name of North Korea.

‘The DPRK will steadily update and strengthen its nuclear armed forces both in quality and quantity in response to the nuclear threat from outside,’ it added.

In September 2022, the North passed a law declaring itself a nuclear weapons state and giving it the right to conduct a preemptive nuclear strike to protect itself. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called the decision ‘irreversible’ and later amended the country’s constitution to enshrine the permanent growth of Pyongyang’s nuclear arsenal…”  (Kim Jong-un, his sister, and recently his daughter, Ju-ae, who appeared with him twice recently raising speculation about possible succession, are following in the footsteps of Kim Jong-il and Kim il-sung in seeking nuclear weapons.  In 1993, President Bill Clinton spoke in South Korea and stated that if North Korea gained and used a nuclear weapon, the U.S. would quickly and overwhelming retaliate, and it would mean the end of their country as they know it.  President George W. Bush named North Korea as one of the three-part ‘axis of evil’ along with Iran and Iraq in 2002.  In 2014, President Barack Obama warned North Korea that the U.S. would not hesitate to use military might to defend our allies against this ‘pariah state’.  And in August 2017, President Donald Trump stated: “North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States.  They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.”  It is believed that North Korea developed nuclear weapons in 2004.  See the next two reports.) 

North Korea’s Kim inspects ‘nuclear-powered submarine’ project

March 11, 2025 — SpaceWar.com reports: “North Korean leader Kim Jong Un inspected a project to build a nuclear-powered submarine, state media reported Saturday, saying that ‘radically’ boosting the navy was a key part of Pyongyang’s defensive strategy.

Kim visited shipyards focused on building warships, the Korean Central News Agency reported, without giving details of the exact date or location of the inspection.

Kim ‘learned about the building of a nuclear-powered strategic guided missile submarine,’ the report said, which was one of Kim’s key military goals on a laundry list of high tech weaponry unveiled at a previous party congress.

The report is likely referring to a nuclear-powered submarine capable of launching ballistic missiles, Yonhap news agency reported, adding this was the first time the nuclear-armed North had revealed construction of a ballistic missile submarine.

Kim said the country’s ‘sea defence capability… will be fully displayed in any necessary waters without limitation,’ KCNA said.

‘The development of the naval force into an elite and nuclear-armed force constitutes an important content in the strategy for the development of the national defence,’ it added…”

Kim Jong Un’s sister warns of provocative response to U.S. aircraft carrier deployment

March 5, 2025 — SpaceWar.com reports: “North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s influential sister said Tuesday that the deployment of a U.S. aircraft carrier to South Korea would compel Pyongyang to bolster its nuclear arsenal and ramp up military provocations.

The Nimitz-class nuclear-powered USS Carl Vinson and its strike group docked at a naval base in the southeastern city of Busan on Sunday, the first carrier visit under the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.

‘As soon as its new administration appeared this year, the U.S. has stepped up the political and military provocations against the DPRK, ‘carrying forward’ the former administration’s hostile policy,’ Kim Yo Jong said, using the official acronym for North Korea.

In a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency, Kim said the United States has been deploying strategic assets to the Korean Peninsula at a ‘constant’ level and denounced the carrier’s visit as ‘hostile and confrontational.’

‘The action-accompanied hostile policy toward the DPRK pursued by the U.S. at present is offering sufficient justification for the DPRK to indefinitely bolster up its nuclear war deterrent,’ Kim said…”
