A pair of nuclear-powered Russian attack submarines has been patrolling off the eastern seaboard of the United States in recent days, a rare mission that has raised concerns inside the Pentagon and intelligence agencies about a more assertive stance by the Russian military.

The episode has echoes of the cold war era, when the United States and the Soviet Union regularly parked submarines off each other’s coasts to steal military secrets, track the movements of their underwater fleets and be poised for war.

But the collapse of the Soviet Union all but eliminated the ability of the Russian Navy to operate far from home ports, making the current submarine patrols thousands of miles from Russia more surprising for military officials and defense policy experts.

    It wont be foreign powers that lead to the demise of the United States. It will be moral collapse, and civil strife. We no longer have an identity. We are only a cultural diversity with no absolutes. Basically put, we are moving away from God in favor of our own abilities. We know we are absolutely incapable of miracles, and turn from the only one Who is capable.

    Since the Russian subs can get that close to the U.S. and possibly be carrying nuclear missiles, they may be the ones to due the distruction that was the vision of Brother Branham.
