started thinking that an russian assault might be possible from the middle east which could explain the map. so i googled russian invasion of europe and found this:

to quote the summary
"Here are the sequence of the events leading to the Third World War and taking place during the war, based on the quatrains of Nostradamus and similar prophecies of other people."
i havent read the whole thing but using keyword serches i found some interesting points
1. "It appears that a certain leader, probably from Russia, Central Asia or China will come to conquer France. Is this the Man from the East in II.29 ? It seems that Russia and China will ally with the Islamic forces in World War III. In fact such a large scale attack on Europe is possible when the might of a country like China or Russia is behind the Eastern Alliance.
[iI.29] The man from the East will come out of his seat and will cross the Apennines to see France. He will cross through the sky, the seas and the snows and he will strike everyone with his rod.
Continuation of the description of the man from the East who will come to France with his great army. The 'Rod' described in this quatrain as well as in V.54 is some kind of new devastating weapon usind in WW-III."
2.http://ww-iii.tripod.com/sequence.htm#527 (titled Iran attacks Greece)
"[V.27] With fire and weapons, not far from the Black Sea, he will come from Persia to occupy Trebizond. Pharos and Mytilene tremble, the Sun is bright, the Adriatic sea covered with Arab blood.
A notable Iranian commander will come to fight in the Adriatic along with the Arabs. There will be losses in the eastern side too."
Greece is one side of the gateway to the Adriatic Sea.
3. There is a pic on the right hand side of the page (http://ww-iii.tripod.com/images/russattack.jpg). the red arrow w/ green outline i believe to be the Persian forces. look some-what familliar?? :http://aan-online.com/a.jpg
