The result was a doctrine of defense called the Medvedev Doctrine. American use of smart weapons during Desert Storm shocked every capital on the planet including the Kremlin. Prior to 1991 the Russians enjoyed superiority of military units in numbers. They'd believed their numerical superiority would be an advantage on the battlefield. After Desert Storm......not so much. The Medvedev Doctrine provided internal justification for a Kremlin response to any invasion of Russia by armies using smart weapons. The answer was the use of tactical nuclear weapons. The typical yield of a TNW is between .7 and 170 kilotons. The Hiroshima bomb by comparison was 15. The Medvedev Doctrine is based on the belief that the use of TNWs would eliminate troop concentrations and thus "deescalate" conflict. Mr. Putin's remarks of late have been almost verbatim quotations of the Medvedev Doctrine despite the situation being Russian aggression rather defense. In other words, Putin believes he's justified in rattling a nuclear saber at the west. To this someone will certainly respond by saying that all is in God's hands. Such people ignore the horror of WWII in which more than seventy-five MILLION people died, the entire European continent was bombed into ashes and millions of Jews and political dissidents were murdered. Such people seem to like to live with their heads buried in the proverbial sand without the slightest awareness of or consideration to world events. Putin has been listening to a fellow by the name of Alexander Dugin, a Russian political philosopher on the order of Rasputin. Rasputin, by the way, means 'debauched' in Russian. What sort of monstrous language has Dugin been whispering into Putin's ear? The future is uncertain and much of it will be determined by Vladimir Putin whether we like it or not. It's time to repent and seek peace with God. It's time to remind our friends and neighbors of that too. that's me, hollering from the choir loft...
