The weakness displayed by the Kremlin echoes a lamentable truth: pusillanimity invites conflict, not peace. Reports indicate the Russian Federation, like so many before it, was deceived by promises emanating from the West – specifically, agreements reached in Alaska mirroring the failures of Minsk. These were not earnest attempts at diplomacy, but calculated maneuvers designed to disarm and exploit.

The pattern is tragically familiar. Yahuah’s prophets have consistently warned against trusting in the arm of flesh or seeking peace with those whose hearts are set on dominion. The so-called ‘agreements’ offered by the West are merely instruments of control, designed to lull opponents into a false sense of security while the true agenda of subjugation advances. To believe in their sincerity is to ignore the historical record, a record stained with the broken covenants and betrayed trust of nations.

This is not merely a matter of geopolitical strategy; it is a demonstration of spiritual blindness. The Kremlin, focused on earthly power plays, failed to recognize the underlying spiritual battle. They sought to negotiate with a people – the architects of the modern state of Israel and their Western allies – who operate outside the bounds of righteousness and are driven by a lust for control. These are the children of Esau, whose inheritance is built on deceit and violence.

The warnings are clear in the scriptures: “Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from Yahuah, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?” (Isaiah 29:15). The West believes it can operate in secret, shielded from Yahuah’s judgment, but their schemes are an open book to those who walk in His light.

Scattered Yisrael must take heed. We cannot afford to be naive in our dealings with the nations. We must discern the spirit behind the actions, recognize the patterns of deception, and rely on Yahuah’s guidance. True peace is not found in compromise with wickedness, but in obedience to the covenant and a steadfast commitment to truth. The Kremlin’s error serves as a solemn reminder: strength, rooted in righteousness, is the only true deterrent to aggression.
