USA - America is no longer interested in underwriting Ukrainian and European security and it’s time for Britain to face this reality. In what Donald Trump called a “highly productive” phone call, he and Vladimir Putin “agreed to have our respective teams start negotiations immediately”. If that is what happened, it is a great victory for Putin’s world view. The Russian president has always believed that only those countries that decide the fate of others can be truly sovereign.
He has always been determined that Russia would be one of the great powers – along with the United States and China – qualified to carve the rest of the world up between them. That is why he always wanted to talk to Washington, not Kyiv, about the fate of Ukraine. Anything else would be a humiliation.
Pete Hegseth, Mr Trump’s secretary of defence, drew the outline of the US president’s vision of peace in blunt terms during Wednesday’s meeting with Nato defence ministers.
Occupied territory will not be given back to Ukraine, he said – implying a freeze along the current line of contact. Ukraine will receive neither Nato membership nor an Article Five security guarantee. And absolutely no US troops will be involved in the peace-keeping force. Britain and the other allies who have stood with them since the invasion began will also be able to claim a part of that victory.
But there is a catch. As Mr Trump has made clear, and Mr Hegseth spelt out in language even a child could understand, America is not interested in underwriting either Ukrainian or European security. So the shape of the peace will depend on Europe – and that includes Britain.
The News Update last week quoted the following article. Seems it was timely!
1982 - The Russian Threat to Europe. Over 40 years ago, in 1982, Mr Armstrong warned that fear of Russia would cause Europe to unite.
“Now one of the great things that is urging Europe on, and perhaps the greatest thing that WILL CAUSE THEM TO HURRY AND GET TOGETHER on this, is their FEAR of what’s going on in the Kremlin and the Soviet Union [Russia]. And Andropov [now Putin] is frightening them, and that is going to rush them.
They are losing confidence in the United States as having a military umbrella over them to protect them, and they want their own military force to protect themselves.” (Sermon Transcript - United States Of Europe Is Coming, 27 November, 1982)
As you can see from the news article - it's now all out in the open! The USA is warning that it WILL NOT DEFEND EUROPE!
Pete Hegseth, US Secretary of Defence, made America's standpoint very clear:
“America is not interested in underwriting either Ukrainian or European security. So the shape of the peace will depend on Europe...”
The following article points out:
“‘We must – and we are – focusing on securing our own borders.’ The remarks, his first at a Nato meeting since being confirmed as Donald Trump’s Pentagon chief, will spark fears amongst European allies that they could be left on their own in the face of a resurgent Russia.”
We were warned to watch for this to happen over 40 years ago and it's happening right now!
By forcing Europe to defend itself, they are also creating the Frankenstein Monster that will destroy both the US and Britain.
As Mr Armstrong warned way back in 1955:
“We are building the Frankenstein Monster that is destined to destroy us!” (The Plain Truth, June 1955)
“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!
