GERMANY - The US under Donald Trump is exacerbating tensions with Iran, leading many to fear war may be just around the corner. Any military conflict would have dire consequences for Europe, but the Americans remain undeterred. At no point since the end of the Iran-Iraq War in 1988 has the threat of war been greater. It's little surprise that Trump's confrontational Middle Eastern policy has exacerbated the tensions between the US and its European allies, because, unlike the situation in Venezuela, Europe would be directly affected. The continent's very security is at stake. Europeans blame Washington for the escalation in the Middle East.
In the meantime, Iran has issued the Europeans an ultimatum of 60 days to offset the effects of the sanctions. If that doesn't happen, Iran could restart enriching uranium or withdraw itself from the nuclear deal. Then it might not be too long before Tehran acquires the nuclear bomb -- or the US attacks militarily.
Berlin is also on a collision course with Washington over the Middle East's second major crisis zone. The Trump administration is set to present its plan for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in June. Trump wants to introduce to the world his "vision" for settling one of the century's greatest conflicts... Germany would not be able to back it.
More than a year after taking office, Pompeo still hasn't paid a visit to Berlin. Bolton also hasn't seen any reason to visit Germany. And a good seven weeks have passed since Chancellor Merkel's last phone call with Trump. When the German chancellor travels to the US next, at the end of May to give the commencement speech at Harvard University, Trump won't have any time for her. He'll be playing golf in Florida.
“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”
The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
