Donald Trump took a step towards peace. Of course, not everyone likes this. As can be seen, Donald Trump has many enemies, even among Republicans. What is better: peace with Russia, or a global nuclear war?

The Book of Revelation warns: "And another horse, fiery red, came out, and the one who rode it was granted permission to take peace from the earth, so that people would butcher one another, and he was given a huge sword." (6:4) "The great sword" - what does it mean?

Jesus gave many important details: "Terrors [φοβητρα] both [τε] and [και] unusual phenomena [σημεια - unusual occurrences, transcending the common course of nature] from [απ] sky [ουρανου] powerful [μεγαλα] will be [εσται]." (Luke 21:11)

Some ancient manuscripts contain the words "and frosts" [και χειμωνες] (we call this today "nuclear winter"), and in Mark 13:8 "and disorders" [και ταραχαι] (in the sense of confusion and chaos). There will be also significant tremors, food shortages and epidemics along the length and breadth of the regions as a result of using this weapon.

This weapon will also cause climate change, catastrophic drought and global famine. (cf. Revelation 6:5, 6)

So here we have a complete picture of the consequences of the global nuclear war. Is there any sense in speeding up this war?

Trump call the World his "foes" - EU allies are his economic foes, China is his foes, Russia is his brofoes and everyone else - the whole World is his foes that take advantages of US.

Is that what Trump call "make peace"?

Really what are the values of Trump that attracts you and Trump fellow supporters.

To the eyes of majority of the World - Trump has many negative values that consider trash to Humanity.

I am doing a research on why Trump supporters are attracted to Trump - despite the fact that any religions, any moral schools, any upright institutions - will have graded Trump as an undesirable personality, character with many flaws - that humans should not learn and follow.

But Trump followers are "heel over toes" - expressing public support and admiration over Trump - and even cheer Trump's on those things he says and do - that harm his Country, his people as well as other Countries and other people.


And what Trump is doing is very dangeous - causing a massive dislocation to the World trade - that will have a massive impact to USA and the World - not only in the near term but the medium and long term.
Yet Trump supporters are cheering Trump on - oblivious to the danger and consequences that Trump is triggering.

Some of the facts surface :-
(1) Majority of Trump supporters are "non-college graduates" whites - who detest other races, who feel that other races have taken over their jobs and who are less mobile, unable to get themselves retrained to take on new fields, new jobs.
(2) Trump supporters are mainly displaced by disruptive tech - that have disrupted the industries they are in and have displaced their jobs, affected by globalisation --- and are basically nationalists.

Trump's radical approach of forcing old industries, old jobs (such as coal, steel, aluminium, cars etc)
 to come back to USA - resonate with them - despite the many negative, undesirable personalities and values displayed by Trump. They are willing to overlook and forgive Trump.

They are even willing to go as far as - supporting Trump's wrong values, speechs and actions as "Right" - as long as Trump support their interests - ie. their jobs, their income.

This is despite the fact that Trump actions - will actually cause US and the World - succumb with big Economic problems - by distorting market efficiency, dislocate the World Global Supply Chain and causing many other Economic distortion - that will be translated to business loss, job loss, high consumer prices and economic miseries in which this Trump supporters are trying to avoid.

So how to resolve Trump's global dislocation acts?

It will have to be - Trump losing his mid-term Nov election and his 2020 election.

To lose his election, his support base need to forsake him.

To do so, unless Trump's trade war - take a real and heavy toll on US economy.
But this is unlikely to happen in the short term - but may kick in the medium term and long term.
When this happen, the Global Economy will also be hit - maybe badly or could escape with only slight impact (depending whether the Global Economies are able to successfully build a successful "Trade Firewall" of many multi-lateral trade deals to cushion and mitigate the fallout with Trump-led US).

For Trump support base to forsake Trump - and make Trump lose his election - it will not happen so soon.

So the World may still have to tolerate Trump's nonsense for sometimes to come.

Donald Trump is better than John McCain and other like him. What is worse: a trade war or a global nuclear war? There is hope for improvement in Russian-American relations. The world will be safer, at least for a moment.

Ryszard Ewiak - Trump is reckless, totally irresponsible, radical, and he is unpredictable.
Assuming that he will not do anything rash or assuming he is not ignorant that may trigger some catastrophic events - is putting everything into luck.

If lucks run out, the World will suddenly find itself in danger.

It is better not have such a dangerous person holding such a vital post - that has the propensity to end the World.

Ryszard Ewiak - and you are assuming other than Trump, other candidates are likely to adopt confrontational stance with Russia.

I think it may not be - because both US and Russia have powerful militaries and nuclear.

Any military fricition will end both US and Russia as well as the World.

But in fact a more open and transparent policies based on dialogue, communication with emphasis on trade, business and investment - can be a "Peace maker".

Trump is completely a "Foe" on "Trade with the World".

With no trade, business and investment - that interlock US and Russia together - no matter how "brofoemance" that Trump try playing with Russia will be futile.

You have to bear in mind that US and China are still peaceful and there are still meaningful engagement in political and economic field - due to the massive economic, financial and trade that interlock both US and China Economy ---- that promote mutual benefits and mutual prosperity during Obama Administration time.

But now this Trump is trying to unravel this "Peace maker" initiative - that preserve Peace - by starting a massive trade war with China.

Isn't he crazy enough and ignorant enough - to cause massive catastrophe down the road?

No American president will be a guarantor of peace. Let me remind here a fragment of an ancient vision: "And [the king of the north] will go back (to) his land with great wealth [1945. This detail indicated that Hitler will attack also the Soviet Union and will fight to the bitter end]; and his heart (will be) against the holy covenant [Soviet Union introduced state atheism and believers were repressed]; and will act [it means activity in the international arena]; and go back to his own land [1991-1993. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. Russian troops returned to their country]. At the appointed time [he] will return back [it also means the breakup of the European Union and NATO. Many countries of the former Eastern block will return to a military alliance with Russia], and will enter into the south [this can be Georgia], but it will not be as the former [2008 - Georgia] or as the latter [Ukraine], for the dwellers of coastlands of Kittim [USA, in the beginning without Britain] will come against him, and he will be dejected, and will go back." (Daniel 11:28-30a)

This war will start with an ethnic conflict. Jesus said: "For nation will rise against nation", as in 2008 in Georgia. Then Russia will again move to help allies, but this time Americans will attack unexpectedly. Nobody can stop that.

In 1882 British troops occupied Egypt. Great Britain then took the role of "the king of the south". Around the same time, Russia expanded its influence in the region, which previously belonged to Seleucus I Nicator, and took the role of "the king of the north". (Daniel 11:27) All the details of this vision are being fulfilled from the time of ancient Persia, in chronological order.

Ryszard Ewiak - If you are worried that a US President will start a war with Russia ---- the chances are highly unlikely.

The odd of mutual destruction is too great.

Any sensible US President will not go for this option.

As for Trump - I got no clue - as he is highly unpredictable, totally irresponsible and highly reckless.


Look at how fast he flip-flop after Russia visit.
Look at how much he praise China President and then he flip-flop to start a massive trade war on China.

Look at how he nearly start a nuclear war with N Korea, then flip-flop to talk peace, and then flip-flop to almost cancel it and then flip-flop to talk.

And so many other flip-flop ---- that can the World really trust Trump?

He is what we would liberally call a "Double Agent". When he is in Russia he will heap praises on Putin and say how great Russia is; and when he is back in the US, he will rail against Putin. The truth, however, is he prefers Putin than America. Hence, on the recent incident, there he was in Russia cozying up to Putin, and condemning the US Intelligence; but when he is back in the US, he, lacking total sincerity, apologises for being an idiot when he was over there.

Trump is not in the Presidency to save America, or make it great again, whatever that means. He is in there for ONE reason only - to make himself great, by spreading his business empire across the globe, and becoming the leading billionaire on Earth. For certain, Trump's business empire will mushroom in Russia, Indonesia, and other places, fairly soon. It will not surprise me, one bit, if he opens businesses also in North Korea! His businesses will employ relatively cheap labour, so that his business profits will soar to the sky, and beyond. America's Presidency is the springboard he needed badly, to get himself out of the rut he was in.

Back to the "double agent" theory, he leans more to Russia than the US, and, the way I see it, the US is going to be hurt very badly by his vicious, malicious and crooked ways.

He is a person who always want to win. He is about himself and not the world or USA. What to do when citizen vote for him and think that 1 person can make USA great. See the world trading is in a mess. Anyway he will say that he is great and if he gets no support, he Roti Prata it. See all the twist and turn. Do American still support him for the next term?
