Why would Putin wish this. There is a constant tendency to see the apocalypse in every flurry of evil, and that’s been going on since the early church. I’m missing a part of the set-up to this. He might want to Christianize Israel, but what has it done to Russia that he wants to avenge. Please explain more.
What do you mean? War?
If that is what you mean, there are many reasons. First of all is that Putin's economy is largely dependent on energy. That is what he built the Russian recovery on.
Turkey is purchasing illegal oil from ISIS. Putin bombed their tankers after a Russian airliner was blown from the sky by ISIS. Turkey shot down the Russian fighter/bomber in retaliation. Follow the money.

I don't understand what you are saying.

That is not Putin's goal at all. He will attack Israel over its wealth, energy discoveries, and power in the region. I am in agreement with most Biblical scholars who say that the war of Gog/Magog is led by Russia.
