Is the Warsaw Pact military still a viable military force according to Les?
Yes, the Warsaw Pact military is described as still relatively intact and still a viable military force. An agreement kept the East German Army in the Pact for at least four more years, and the Russian Army was reportedly poised east of the Ural Mountains, ready to move when ordered.
Les explains that when the Soviet bloc began falling apart, people naturally wondered about Ezekiel 38 and Gomer. He points to a less-publicized news article reporting that Helmut Kohl met with Gorbachev, and even though communism was collapsing, they agreed the East German Army would remain in the Warsaw Pact for at least another four years. For Les, that meant Gomer was still intact with the consortium of nations allied with Russia. He notes the four years had not yet expired, and while he did not know for certain whether it remained true, he felt the Warsaw Pact military was still relatively intact and still a viable military force. He also says he read that the Russian Army was east of the Ural Mountains, poised and ready to move whenever authorities ordered it.
