The Crisis in Ukraine - Let Me  Explain

I'm into the study of "End Time Bible Prophecy."       
Russia will play the leading role in the End Time.    
When I explain the evidence for that idea,    
People bring up the Ukraine crisis.    
What is going on, they ask me.    
   
If we start off with a certain presupposition,    
This puts a new slant on things.       
My presupposition is this:    
Russia is going to bomb America in the near future.    
For the Bible says a dictator("the Beast")    
Will "make war on [the Christian nations] and overcome them."    
In short, he will conquer the whole world(Revelation 13.7).    
Since world conquest requires world war, ie nuclear war,    
Only the leader of a nuclear SUPER POWER can be this "Beast."
Of the 3 main superpowers:America, Russia, China,    
Only Russia fits the requirements given in Bible Prophecy.    
So Russia definitely is the nation that will conquer the world.    
So we have to see the Ukraine crisis in that context.    
Thru that "lens".    
   
Secondly, we should figure that the time is short.    
Now that we have gone on a reckless disarmament binge.        
We disarmed in response to the Kremlin's fiendish plot:        
Gorbachev craftily ended the Cold War,making "peace" -        
In order to trick us into disarming,        
giving up most of our Retaliatory arsenal!        
We went from 39 "Boomer" submarines down to just 12!        
(Actually we have 14, but 2 aren't being used.)        
Why did we build a big retaliatory arsenal?      
To strike fear into the heart of the Kremlin.      
We told them, "If you hit us, we'll hit back hard      
With a devastating retaliatory strike!"      
But now that we are disarming beyond all reason,      
The Kremlin has lost all fear of the USA.        
Our threat to retaliate has become hollow.      
       
The final straw:      
Because of today's SEQUESTRATION (budget cuts)    
our 8 "boomer"submarines at sea      
may be cut to just 6 subs (I believe in 2015).      
At that point the number of nuclear warheads        
that we can send over to Russia      
Will be equal to the number        
that Russia's ABM system can intercept.      
(ABMs are anti-missile missiles that can shoot down      
the warheads released from our ballistic missiles.)        
       
Up until recently, if Russia were to bomb our cities        
The common man in Russia would be totally disgusted:        
"Our government did it with no good reason!"        
"I'm so ashamed to be Russian,"       
The average Russian would exclaim.        
Naturally the Kremlin doesn't want THAT response.        
So Putin, working for Gorbachev        
(who never really gave up power),        
Is arranging for bad things to happen in Ukraine,        
Bad things that Putin then blames on America!        
The Kremlin is training the Russian public        
to see America as the Arch Villain, Evil Incarnate!        
       
Putin hopes that when America gets wiped out,        
The public reaction is:"They had it coming!        
We didn't want to do it, but they forced our hand!        
They had to be stopped for the sake of World Peace!"        
       
Just what did the Kremlin do in Ukraine        
Which they are now blaming on the USA?        
Putin took over the "pro-democracy movement" in Ukraine.        
With Russian KGB agents running things,        
Naturally they fomented revolution successfully,        
"Forcing" President Yanukovich from power.        
Following the script, he fled from Kiev to Moscow.        
The whole thing was phoney, like a boxer "taking a dive."        
This coup d'tat the Kremlin blamed on "the West,"        
On "Evil America" in particular.        
WHEN IN FACT IT WAS RUSSIA THAT WAS BEHIND IT!        
       
 Government-controlled news media in Russia,        
in other words, almost all news media there,        
Are busy, night and day, depicting the USA as        
"Out of control" fascists,Nazis, terrorists        
About to press the nuclear button on Russia!        
So that when the Kremlin actually does presses it,        
The media will say it was to "preempt the USA,"        
As if we were about to do it! A total lie!        
       
But what Bible Prophecy basis do I have        
For saying Russia will soon blast our biggest cities        
(hopefully only the biggest, leaving        
the middle-sized and smaller cities intact)?        
Well, what is the central claim of Christianity?        
It's "the Second Coming of Christ"(Daniel 7.11-14).      
(Quoting from Daniel 7.13 at His trial is what got        
Christ convicted and executed(Luke 22.69-71)).        
So Dan 7.11-14 is central enough.      
It can be summed up this way:      
"The Beast gets defeated, destroyed..      
by the Son of Man..      
He[Christ at the Second Coming]        
becomes king over the whole world."        
       
What, just what, is the purpose of the Second Coming?!        
It's amazing how many Christians don't know this stuff.        
The purpose is "to destroy the Wicked One"(2 Thessalonians 2)        
aka, "the Man of Sin," aka "the Beast"(Daniel 7.8-28).        
who takes over "the whole Earth",the world(Dan 7.23;Rev. 13.7)!        
Actually, Daniel 7.8 is the invasion of "ten" nations        
of Western Europe, a subset of the overall conquest.        
But those ten nations include        
ALL the leading nations of Western Europe,        
So this rules out Germany, Britain, etc as the conqueror.        
In short,by default Russia is left as the obvious choice        
For the role of the Aggressor nation.        
       
"The Beast will make WAR on the saints"        
(the Christian nations of America and Europe,        
not that they are as Christian as they used to be)        
"And overcome them"(Revelation 13.7).        
The Beast will "gain authority over every tribe,        
language and nation" ie over the whole world!(Rev. 13.7).        
War that results in world conquest,        
Doesn't that sound like world war?        
Doesn't "world war" that suggest NUCLEAR WAR?        
What kind of nation could take over the world?        
Only a nuclear SUPER POWER, ok?        
So Russia definitely does fit the "job description."    
   
If the Kremlin plans on attacks us soon,    
What,logically, would be on the mind of the Kremlin?    
Shouldn't they be interested in prepping the Russian population    
For the terrible thing that the Kremlin will soon do?    
It is with this in mind that I now try  
 to make sense out of the Ukraine crisis.  
Putin is using it mainly as a way to slander the USA.
