I should rephrase it as 'countries in which Catholics live in significant numbers and which have a tradition of being Catholic'. I doubt if Jews or Muslims would be as aware of how far these countries have apostatised as would faithful Catholics.
We can only speculate about what's going on in current political and military affairs. Even if a theory is perfectly plausible does not imply it is true. We little people can never expect to be made privy to whatever skullduggery and shenanigans the elites are up to. We only know for certain that when Christ's awful Day of Judgement comes, we all, plebs and elites alike, will be little people.
I think that if we were to take a "spiritual X-ray" of each nominally Christian country, we would realize that no country is truly Catholic or Orthodox. However, in almost all of them, there is always a faithful remnant that represents the universality of the Church. A clear example of this can be seen in Russia, where Putin used the complete subservience of the Russian Orthodox Church and Patriarch Kirill with their holy war rhetoric to promote the killing of their Ukrainian brothers. Yet, in December of last year, he rejected an appeal from the same church for a total ban on abortion in the country. To justify his stance, he regurgitated the same feminist argument that banning abortion would only increase child and maternal mortality. There is also the issue of Russian troops raising the Soviet flag in some of the territories they have conquered in Ukraine. This worship of the blood-soaked Soviet flag should surprise any true devotee of Fatima and Saint Seraphim of Sarov, especially since the latter prophesied the martyrdom of the royal family and the rise of communism. Without a doubt, Putin's religious ideology, centered around the cult of Mother Russia and its expansionism, is reminiscent of the most extreme forms of Zionism in some respects. Just as some Christians, particularly Protestants, behave as though they should be doormats for the Jews, the same can be said of certain Catholics who support Russia's machinery of Church persecution, despite the fact that they would be among the first targets if they went to a country that didn't even recognize them as an official Christian religion. https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/putin-says-abortions-against-state-interests-but-opposes-ban-4674694
We are human beings created in the image and likeness of God. The above clip reveals the face of unbridled and unmitigated hate. It is hate that is taught by example. And if this journalist receives no harm and/or pushback, if no reprisal, then it shows that the arrogance of the general population is fearless, even of God. At least Adam and Eve demonstrated shame when God visited them in the Garden after their act of disobedience. Total absence of regret is scary indeed! And what moral justification can the United States present to support a regime such as this? If the claim is that the Arabs are worse, then the cleansing Judgment of God on the world must certainly be close at hand. May the promise of the Warning be true and may it come quickly!
I think it is very possible that it is close at hand because of one of the points made in this video, a video which I really like. When Jesus came down, he came down to do spiritual battle. In His death and resurrection Jesus was, and still is victorious. Right after the resurrection Jesus commanded the Great Commission. To take back all the territories which had been usurped by fallen demons / gods of old. Jesus came to take it all back, and the great commission was a part of this. Fast forward to today, the demons / gods of old have managed to take back the lands that had been taken from them. It's a reversal of the Great Commission and the worst part is that it is even happening in the church. For whatever reason, Jesus has been very patient in all of this. Jesus is also a master strategist who loves to outplay the demons at every opportunity, using both the dumbest and weakest to do so. I expect that just like crucifixion, just when they think they have won they will make a move that is to their own demise. The demons/gods of old currently think they have it all buttoned down.
I really can't see it any other way. I mean, Genesis 3:15 is what the bible revolves around after the fall. It would be so anticlimactic for God to just do the warning, then have the gavel come down, followed by the wedding feast. Especially after all the build up to the Messiah and the resurrection. Even at Garabandal, the priest who saw the miracle was taken out of the game of life so he wouldn't spoil the plot for everyone else. I am not sure if the other seers saw the miracle, I don't think they did. Maybe they did, but I don't really remember hearing any description of the miracle. At any rate it isn't just going to be something like "ok everyone, I God exist, be good or you're going to hell", followed by "bad demons, you're gone *God snaps fingers, poof*. It's the climax of the whole biblical narrative, it has to be bigger than everything else.
Maybe for Zelensky and those deluded into believing Ukraine could beat Russia at home. More influential vested interests are most likely laughing all the way to the bank. The love of money is the root of all evil and there's a never ending supply of money for never ending wars. Here's an insight to how it works: More than likely all the other powerful countries also have procedures whereby a subset of the population is enriched by wars and rumours of wars. An American war hero said that war is a racket. He was right and the poor always suffer disproportionately the cost of it in injuries and death. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and Russians are all too aware of that reality now. May the Lord have mercy on the souls of all the dead. May He comfort their grieving relatives. May He heal the broken bodies and minds of the injured. And may He forgive us all for our failure to love our neighbour.
North Korean troops have arrived in Russia to fight Ukraine, says Seoul Russian navy ships reportedly transferred 1,500 forces to Vladivostok, where they are being trained South Korea’s intelligence agency said on Friday that North Korea has dispatched troops to assist Russia in its war against Ukraine, a development that could intensify the standoff between North Korea and the west. In a statement on its website, the National Intelligence Service (NIS) said that Russian navy ships transferred 1,500 North Korean special operation forces to the port city of Vladivostok between 8 and 13 October and were now undergoing training.

Yes, they form a trilateral team now, don't they? A good share of the blame for that is the West, who imposed sanctions and went after Russia following the bombing of the pipeline in the Baltic Sea (though the USA actually was at fault). Lord have Mercy!
Indeed 15 hundred communist soldiers are getting ready in Russia to go and kill Christians in a neighboring European country. We are truly lucky to be able to experience important prophecies coming true in real time. May Our Lady give us the spiritual strength necessary to live the upcoming punishments.
So does WWW3 not go against what Our Lady said in Garabandal? I know this was likely covered on multiple threads. Can someone one just give me a brief explanation. I thought Our Lady said, there wouldn’t be a third war.
No. That could easily be left to multiple interpretations. Also it may depend in what you call a world War. After all garabandal also said Russia would over run a great part of the free world. Most ppl would consider that a world War. So clearly there's a discrepancy which is likely just a misinterpretation of what she meant about there not being a 3rd world war.
It doesn't have to be the third world war, because the war itself represents two conflicting sides. However, if there is no resistance, then it is not a war, but a seizure of power. If Russia is going to overrun a large part of the free world, it does not necessarily mean that it will achieve it by war, but it would mean that the rest of the world is paralyzed to the point that it cannot offer resistance. Although I am not a big supporter of Garabandal because I only believe in the officially confirmed ones, I would say for those who believe that this segment that Russia will take over a good part of the world without resistance raises the question of what will happen to the West...And that is a question that causes discomfort. Now, under current conditions, the third World War cannot possibly happen because there are nuclear weapons and any country that is in a losing position would use them, i.e. hundreds of them before going down. War is most often fought through proxy countries, economic war and cultural war. Nuclear weapons have stopped major power conflicts directly.
Apparition doesn't need to be fully approved to believe in it FYI. Your allowed to make your own discernment based on the facts. Many apparitions aren't approved until decades later. Facts around garabandal to me are indisputable
