Now that Russia is taking a dominant role in Syria, is it possible that they would expand their territory and head towards Israel? While this is only a question, there seems to be a biblical reference in the Book of Ezekiel chapter 38.

September 22 - US Growing More Wary of Russia’s Syria Strategy

Russia’s ability to leverage its intervention in Syria into any sort of ongoing advantage on the world stage may be starting to wane with the current cease-fire deal still in shambles. Cracks in Moscow’s strategy, some U.S. officials suggested, began showing Wednesday during a high-level meeting of the United Nations Security Council, when U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry blasted Russia for repeatedly changing its explanation about an attack on an aid convoy that killed 20 people.

“This is not a joke,” Kerry said at the U.N. meeting, calling for “the acceptance of responsibility.” Russian officials, who previously suggested the aid convoy spontaneously combusted, said later the convoy may have been targeted by a U.S. Predator drone, a charge the Pentagon strongly denied. U.S. officials said watching how Moscow “struggled with the truth” only underscored the deeper problems facing Russia’s Syrian strategy.
