hey Dawg, I know your post definitely made me do a double take as that whacked out bunch on the other side of the river concerns me. According to the scriptures Gog and Magog does not come into play until after the 1000 year reign of Christ.
Rev 20:[6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
[7] And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
[8] And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
[9] And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

Russia (Magog) will be the leader of the Arab confederation that attacks Israel for Armegeddon. A Russian base in Syria will be another part of the puzzle. It's no coincidence that Iran has recieved significant support from them for their "peaceful" nuclear program. Time is getting short my friends.
