France's Macron pushes for 'true European army' - 6 November 2018
French President Emmanuel Macron has warned that Europeans cannot be protected without a "true, European army", as he marks the centenary of the World War One Armistice.

On a visit to the former Western Front in Verdun, he said Russia had shown it could be a threat and Europe had to be able "to defend itself better alone".

President Macron has already warned that Europeans can no longer rely on the US to defend them, and he revived the theme on Tuesday, in response to President Donald Trump's decision to pull out of a 1987 nuclear treaty with Russia, banning medium-range ground-launched missiles.

Proposals for an EU army re-emerge after Afghan pullout – but many remain ‘hard to convince’ - 02/09/2021 - 22:28
European dismay over President Joe Biden’s precipitous withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan has renewed calls for an EU military force. But while proponents of “strategic autonomy” say the fall of Kabul should serve as a wake-up call, others do not see an existential threat and are content to remain as junior partners to US military might.

Emmanuel Macron steps up EU army plan to deter Russian threat - 3 March 2022

The French president says the bloc cannot rely on Nato or the US for protection following the invasion of Ukraine

There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 5 The name written on her forehead was a mystery:

Babylon the great
the mother of prostitutes
and of the abominations of the earth.

12 “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. 13 [b]They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast.[/b]

“The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages. 16 The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17 For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to hand over to the beast their royal authority, until God’s words are fulfilled. 18 The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”

After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. 2 With a mighty voice he shouted:

“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’[a]
She has become a dwelling for demons
and a haunt for every impure spirit,
a haunt for every unclean bird,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.
3
For all the nations have drunk
the maddening wine of her adulteries.
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,
and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”

1 “The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore— 12 cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; 13 cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings sold as slaves.

Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. 18 When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, ‘Was there ever a city like this great city?’ 19 They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out:

“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city,
where all who had ships on the sea
became rich through her wealth!
In one hour she has been brought to ruin!’

20
“Rejoice over her, you heavens!
Rejoice, you people of God!
Rejoice, apostles and prophets!
For God has judged her
with the judgment she imposed on you.”

America will continue to be numero uno

NigeriaZoo:
As a student of the bible and history, I am 100% certain that there will be no world war this year 2022 or even next year, but things will continue to go from bad to worse on the global stage. This war with Ukraine will end with some agreement between Russia and Ukraine, with Russia occupying half of the country.

My prediction is that the next world war is going to be between an alliance of nations (either a European army that had previously pledged allegiance to the USA or an alliance of nations including other nations such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE and even Russia ) and the USA.

At some point, the world will get tired of America's hypocrisy, unjustifiable dominance and promotion of global violence and tyranny to maintain its position as the only superpower in a uni-polar world.

Now, why do I think Europe will form its own army? Because of their recent experience with the Donald Trump administration that was on track to dismantle and weaken NATO, and because of the current threat from Russia. Europe has finally come to realise that they may not be able to depend on the USA for their security in the future. And with the belligerence of Russia, they must come up with a quick solution to safeguard their political and economic interests in the short and long term.

Recall that the French president has been calling for a European army for quite a few years now, even though his appeal fell on deaf ears. Here is an excerpt from one of such requests




The second time a request for a European army was made was after the chaotic and ill-informed US pull out from Afghanistan. The US did not inform their allies of their abrupt decision to withdraw. This sent shock waves across European countries who began to wonder if the USA saw them as equal partners. This is another excerpt from an article in which a request for made for a European army.



Lastly, a request for a European army was made a few weeks ago after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Details below.



So here is what I think will happen in the next decade or beyond, but not very far into the future. This is based on three scenarios;

Scenario 1. Russia is weakened as a major power. A European army is formed with the second largest budget on defence. This army is nuclear armed, they have about 1 million soldiers and are equipped with latest and next generation military weaponry and infrastructure. They respond to internal and global threats that pose a risk to the European continent. They still have a loose alliance with NATO.

Scenario 2. Russia joins the European army which makes it more formidable and perhaps a serious threat to the rise of China. They become the new dominant global force gradually replacing America as the sole superpower.

Scenario 3 - Europe does not form a separate army, instead they enhance their own militaries and contribute more GDP to ensure that NATO is more formidable and powerful. This force will retain its potency and might around the world, deterring China and Russia from further aggression.

In all 3 scenarios, I predict that this group of nations will turn on and destroy the USA because of its historical and current belligerence, global bullying and economic supremacy - to the detriment of the rest of the world.

Now, these are the scriptures that underpin my prediction. I am not a prophet, and I may be wrong in terms of the military alliances that may be formed, but one thing is clear - these nations will be supporters of the USA who then turn against her at some point in the future.

The premise of my prediction is based mainly on Revelations 17 & 18. See excerpts below and let me know what you think. Corrections and different analyses are most welcome.

Before we delve into Revelations, let me describe the USA in this prophecy as a WOMAN. The WOMAN or prostitute. Remember, a prostitute will sleep with multitudes of men for money. The USA and her UK ally will make a deal with anyone for money even if it means death, famine and destruction. They support any regime worldwide, no matter how despicable, for their economic gain and lust for money.

This woman enslaved Africans, colonised Africans, controls the world economy, continues to support despots, arms tyrants against their citizens and oppresses their own citizens. Yemen is destitute with famine because of them, Palestine is soaked in blood because of them, Iraqis lost over 1 million because of them, 2 million Biafrans were wiped out because of them, millions of Syrians and Muslims in Libya were wiped out because of them. They support and arm terrorists and no work is too dirty for their hands. Usually, they go under the banner of gentle Jesus to deceive the recipients of their evil works.

The beast in my opinion is the worldly system and the ten kings are the Europeans kings who have pledged allegiance to the USA but then made a U turn and destroy her. Now, I may be wrong about Europe, the ten kings could be representatives of other nations across the world - but the end game is the same - destruction of the woman.

This woman is said to be "...the great city that rules over the kings of the earth." . This can only be the USA in my opinion.



To further reinforce my prediction that this scripture refers to the USA, in chaper 18, we read the following ;

Reasonably intelligent topic but you've got a very stupid-sounding moniker.

Get rid of it if you wish to be taken seriously.
