Is America “The Great Satan?” In the eyes of some nations, America is the great sponsor of moral corruption throughout the world. This is one reason Iran has been chanting “Death to America” since 1979.
According to Sergei A. Karaganov, honorary chairman of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, Moscow, America is the modern equivalent to Sodom and Gomorrah.
“The Americans,” he writes, “‘in defense of democracy’ and for the sake of their imperial ambitions, have killed millions in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Iraq, committed monstrous acts of aggression against Yugoslavia and Libya, and against all warnings deliberately cast hundreds of thousands—maybe even millions—of Ukrainians into the fire of war, there is no guarantee that the threat of retaliation, even against cities, is a sufficient deterrent for the globalist oligarchy. Simply put, [American leaders] do not care even about their own citizens and will not be frightened by casualties among them.
“God struck Sodom and Gomorrah—mired in abomination and debauchery—with a rain of fire,” so why shouldn’t Russia give God a hand and strike the West with the same rain of fire?”
Karaganov is writing about God, judgment, deterrence, and about limited nuclear strikes to get the attention of the American deep state. Is America overdue for a severe Divine judgment? Does God still do that? If so, at what point in a nation’s moral decline? Might he use another nation to apply pain?
Today Scott Brown posted a lecture I gave on this subject in 2016. How God Measures National Holiness, and his response to national iniquity.

The April 12, 2026 election in Hungary may be even more eventful than the American midterms. Foreign interference, foreign money, and foreign propaganda have been focused for years to unseat Prime Minister Orban, the longest ruling leader in Europe. Why? Because Orban figured out how to transform a nation destroyed by Soviet secular socialist anti-Christian terror. He led Hungary back to longstanding Christian foundations of faith, reverence for Christ and obedience to the Scriptural duties of fathers, churches and civil magistrates. The Epstein elites of global governance, programmable currency, transhumanism, anti-Christian technocracy, and secular social engineering have all united to destroy Orban before his example of courage and Protestant Reformation brings hope and a Christian counter-revolution to other nations. Orban is dangerous because he is showing the West how to restart the international network of Christendom, the vast network of Christian nations.

Note date and time. Mr. Trump just threatened to blow up Iranian power plants if the Strait is not opened within 48 hours.
Apparently Iran responded, indicating a willingness to do so if Mr. Trump agrees to these conditions:
America will end the war with
— Guarantees of no future wars
— Closure of US military bases in region
— Compensation/war reparations to Iran from both US and Israel
— ’End wars on all fronts in region’
— Establishment of a new legal regime for Strait of Hormuz
— Prosecution and extradition of individuals affiliated with ‘hostile media’ to Iran
In February, America cut off negotiations just prior to a sudden missile barrage. Will that happen again? The world is watching the countdown.
Are people of the twenty-first century too messed up to love one another, sacrifice for one another, or to mature in the presence of difficulty?
For modern marriages, three decades of therapeutic counselling trends are bearing destructive fruit. It's an ongoing revolt against maturity. Sanctification is today a foreign concept, even in the Evangelical world.
What do people count as relational wisdom today? Fighting for your own personal "rights"...and winning in the process. Perfecting clever snarkiness. Outdoing one another in selfishness. Juxtaposing personal dreams and ambitions against another's personal dreams and ambitions.
The way forward when life together gets unbearable? Grumble to a "counselor." Or, if you're tech-savvy, crowd source your therapy. Pour out all your grudges and aversions on the internet, in the guise of "getting a little perspective" [and advice from the mob.]
Today the internet mob is a feedback loop which has become a death spiral -- a chorus...
