Putin’s real goal is to Destroy NATO

In the opening months of the war in Ukraine, we warned about the strange case of Dr. Vladimir and Mr. Putin. Duality of purpose and multifaceted end states have always been central to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s calculus and decision making.
Controlling Ukraine and its mineral riches is his immediate goal as the would-be Don of the Donbas. But Putin’s broader geostrategic goal also includes dismantling NATO.
Putin knows, conventionally-speaking, that his military cannot defeat NATO in Ukraine, much less Europe. But he can create enough division from within its ranks to divide the United States, old NATO and new NATO in order to fracture trust from within the 32-member defensive alliance.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko confirmed as much during a press conference with Putin on Thursday. Referring to President Trump’s proposed 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, Lukashenko reminded the audience that he had observed early in the war that a deal between Washington and Moscow “would be the end of Europe.”
By “Europe,” he also meant “NATO.”
Putin seized on the point. He noted that if the U.S. and Russia cooperate on energy deals, Europe will then be able “to get cheap Russian gas.” Cheap, perhaps in terms of monetary cost, but as Putin knows, European independence — and by extension NATO — would again be undermined by its dependence on Russian sources of energy.
EU countries have spent more on Russian energy in the last three years than they have invested in Ukraine’s defense. This has, among other things, led to Hungary and Slovakia to veto NATO and EU measures to support Ukraine.
This is not real news as Putin as been wanting to divide the EU from America for a long time and to put an end to NATO. The EU is already assessing what to do with Russia now that President Trump is back. President Emmanual Macron has also been on record saying that he wants to bring Russia back to the negotiating table and begin dialogue on some form of a Security Pact with Russia, NATO’s existence in its current form will be an issue even more so now.
The Bible has long revealed that Russia and an EU Army will enter into a final conflict with Israel and the Middle East. Germany is the key country in what Bible Prophecy refers to as the land of “Magog”. They are spoken of militarily as the “King of the North”. Together the Bible says that Russia and the EU will invade the Middle East in the Last Days. So Bible Students expect to see Germany and France taking a greater role in leading Europe. It is also interesting to see Germany taking greater control of a continent they tried to take by war and failed.
Yet again we see in Todays News Headlines words that show how the Nations are fulfilling the latter day alignment of Nations as Prophesied by the Bible as NATO must come to an end.
