America has longed been looked upon as the leader of what men call the free world, and has been that bastion or pillar of strength - which has used its power and influence to even change the course of the world – even as it did in World War I and World War II – standing up against the tyranny and evil of the German Reich – led by Hitler.

In addressing Congress on the matter of Freedom, Regional Security, and world Peace, President Reagan, said: “… A foreign policy that ignored the fate of millions around the world who seek freedom would be a betrayal of our national heritage. Our freedom, and that of our allies, could never be secure in a world where freedom was threatened everywhere else. Our stake in the global economy gives us a stake in the well-being of others. … Our stake in revolving regional conflicts can be simply stated: greater freedom for others means greater peace and security for ourselves. These goals threaten no one, but none of them can be achieved without a strong, active, and engaged America.”

Notice Mr. Reagan points out it would be a betrayal of the national heritage of the United States should it establish a foreign policy that ignored the fate of others. Of course, it would be unfair for anyone to say or accuse president Trump of ignoring the fate of Ukraine, but one cannot deny that the seemingly combative or heated exchanged that occurred in the Oval Office between president Trump and the leader of Ukraine – Mr. Zelensky – who had come to the United States to sign a mineral deal – with the hope of securing a guaranteed security arrangement for his country, was dismissed from the White House in a very un-diplomatic manner – which appeared to be to the shame of the United States – having a leader – whose actions or words appear to be more in favor of the aggressor nation – Russia, than to the nation – Ukraine, that is trying to trying to secure its freedom from the said aggressor nation. Surely, a meeting of this kind and magnitude appears that it should have been conducted in privacy or behind closed doors.

We should not overlook the fact that when leaders meet privately, it gives them that opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of each other’s intention and desires -as this kind of meeting has the potential to diffuse or lower tension – making future negotiations possible. But what happened at this Oval office meeting between Mr. Trump and Mr. Zelensky were the exchanges of words that caused or ignited tension and unrest between the two. The Bible says, “A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger

And concerning freedom, here is what Mr. Reagan goes on to say in that very same speech to Congress: “Throughout the postwar period, our country has played enormous role in helping other nations in many parts of the world, to protect their freedom. Through NATO, we committed ourselves to the defense of Europe against Soviet attack. Through the Marshall plan, we helped Western Europe to rebuild its economy and strengthen democratic institutions. … We provided security assistance to friends and allies around the world to defend themselves. We extended our hand to those governments that sought to free themselves from dependence on the Soviet Union; success in such efforts … has contributes significantly to international security.”

The Greater Danger Lies in Appeasement

It was Mr. Reagan who said the greater danger lies in appeasement. There are those who view Mr. Trump as being a strong leader – looking out for the best interest of the United States, but even so, how bold is a leader when that leader compromises - by expressing actions or words that appear to justify and support an aggressor nation – such as Russia? For example, in a shocking display at the U.N General Assembly (Feb. 24, 2025), the United States joined North Korea, and Russia in opposing a resolution that condemned Moscow (Putin) war against Ukraine. Just try and imagine that the United States - who believe in freedom and Democracy, now giving its support to a government or leader who has not only been hostile or opposed to the United States – threatening nuclear warfare, and has been the aggressor nation that attacked Ukraine - killing men women and children – wanting to claim and seize land that is not for Putin’s Russia to take. In speaking of this shocking support of Russia by the United States, a former U.S. ambassador (Michael McFaul), said this was one of the “most shocking foreign policy events” of his lifetime. One Republican Senator from Utah expressed that he was deeply troubled by this vote because it placed the United States on the same side as Russia and North Korea.

Supporting an aggressor nation such as Putin’s Russia is a form of appeasement; it is a way that opens the door for that aggressor nation to take even more bolder steps in achieving its end goal to conquer Ukraine. When the leader of a nation - such as the president of the United States, fail to speak with moral clarity against an aggressor nation and give the appearance of siding with that nation, then you are either wittingly or unwittingly becoming a party to its evil intent and actions.

“You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, there is a price we will not pay. There is a point beyond which they must not advance” (Ronald Reagan). In the face of Russia’s aggression into Ukraine, and what may be involved, or the far- reaching implication it would have on the rest of Europe- and the world – for that matter, if Russia was to take over Ukraine, the words of president Reagan would seem applicable to the United States to now say to Russia that there is a point beyond which you must not advance, but it seem that the leader of the nation is lacking that form of courage and is more bent on appeasing the aggressor nation. Surely, if we had the fear of God in the nation, we would have the courage to say those words and to lean upon God who would have given us the will to firmly stand against the aggressor nation than to side with that nation in its wrongful intent; we would not have to fear nuclear warfare if God was our strength, but our evil and unrighteous ways will make us timid and fearful; and we are surely going to pay a heavy price for leaving God out of the picture.

Mr. Reagan said: “The defense policy of the United States is based on a simple premise: The United States does not start fights. We will never be an aggressor. We maintain our strength in order to deter and defend against aggression – to preserve freedom and peace.” In that same speech (given on March 23, 1983), Mr. Reagan went on to say: “As the Soviets have increased their military power, they have emboldened to extend that power; they are spreading their military influence in ways that can directly challenge our vital interests and those of our allies.”

What we see today going on in Europe is a threat by Russia to the security of not only Ukraine but also of the rest of the other countries in Europe, and appeasing president Putin by taking his side, is not likely to contain or deter Russia from seeking to take over other countries in Europe – should he be successful in defeating and conquering Ukraine - as the lust for greater control or the enlargement of power has often blinded or enticed men to seek more and more conquest. Was it not said of Alexander the Great that he wept because there was no more world to conquer?

The bible describes conquering nations in animal like fashion – using such words as lion, bear, and leopard (Daniel 7:4,5,6). God uses this kind of description because nations and some human leaders are animal like in their behavior; they are rapacious, destructive – never satisfied – always wanting to have more and more – even at the cost of destroying human lives.

Europe is going to Unite

Bible prophecy has long revealed that Europe is going to become United or that a federation of ten nations are going to come together to become a great world power to be reckoned with; and you can read my previous articles here to understand more on this subject - as I have long been writing here on Article Biz telling or forewarning people that Europe is going to unite and that the relationship between the United States and Europe was going to become strained: all you have to do is read up on my previous articles to see.

The events now unfolding between the United States, Ukraine and the rest of Europe appears to be now paving the way for these union of nations to come together – as Europe appears to be waking up to the fact, or at least having doubts that American can be relied upon to assist them -should Russia attack another European country; the Europeans have certainly been given reason by Mr. Trump to have this kind of fear – especially when he made comments stating Russia could do whatever it wanted to do with any NATO member country that does not meet spending guidelines on defense and would not abide by the collective defense clause that is at the very heart of U.S. Europe alliance. In other words, would Mr. Trump would be willing to break what is a binding agreement? God almighty our creator does not take lightly when people make agreement and break a trust. There was a ruling king In Judah named Zedekiah – who broke a trust he not only made with God but also with the king of Babylon, and for that, it did not fare well for king Zedekiah (See Ezekiel 17:13-15).

I want to emphasize again that Revelation 17:12,13 reveals this coming together of these European countries will result in Ten nations united under on super leader – possibly a leader from Germany or Austria; and that this is going to be a religious and political union – meaning Europe is going to be under the influence of a political and religious leader. You can watch for the Vatican or the next Pope to be more deeply involved in the political affairs of Europe – giving out his voice in support for a United States of Europe. When this revived Roman empire comes to fruition, it is prophesied to go to war against the United States to unleash nuclear weapons on major cities in the United States – destroying a third of our people. You can expect places like New York, Washington, Los Angeles, to be destroyed in this soon coming time of great trouble and distress upon the United States. Some may laugh and scoff at this – saying such could never happen here, but the one saying this is wrong; it is going to happen. And while all the events in Europe is now leading toward the fulfillment of these things, America is going to be weakened from within; we have already been hit by devastating storms and fire that has ravaged parts of California; God is going to bring famine and disease epidemic that is going to slay a third of our people; Ezekiel 5;12 says, “A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine ..” As we are being punished and the punishment intensifies, we should not be surprised if terror attacks come with deadly effects – with may also include earthquake and other damaging occurrences in nature – all because of the sins of the nation; God says we are living the wrong way and we are going to be punished for the sinful ways of the nation.

Already, Germany, the nation that is going to take a leading role in this ten-nation union, has made a major shift to revamp the military. Reuters, the internation news provider says: "The parties hoping to form Germany's next government on Tuesday agreed to create a 500-billion-euro infrastructure fund and overhaul borrowing rules in a tectonic spending shift to revamp the military and revive growth in Europe's largest economy." Germany is prophesied to rise up and become an influential power among these ten nations.

Men Do Not Know the Way to Peace

The Bible reveals that men do not know the way to peace; Isaiah 59:8 says, “The way of peace they know not …” Men and world leaders will talk of peace but in truth, they do not know the way to true and lasting peace; God says they do not know it.

Men Like Mr. Trump and President Putin believe in their own mind and heart that they are doing the right thing; that their way is the right way; the Bible says, “All the ways of man are clean in his own eyes” (Proverbs 16:2). Do you think you could ever really convince Mr. Trump or Mr. Putin that their way of thinking and reasoning is wrong? Do you think Putin would ever come out and admit that he is wrong in trying to take Ukraine? Not likely; the human heart is such that it is it not likely to admit to such thing – because the Bible says, the heart is deceitful desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9).

After leaving the White House meeting with President Trump, Mr. Zelensky states pointed out that a cease fire would not work with president Putin – as over the past ten years, Mr. Putin has violated truces 25 times and that the true peace was the only solution; and indeed, true peace is the only solution, but it has to come from God; God is coming to bring us true peace; it is the only way we will find true and lasting peace.

The human heart is in rebellion against God – wanting to go its own way – making its own determination of what is right and what is wrong and will not allow God Spirit to lead and guide the heart; and for that matter, true and lasting peace will only come to this earth when Jesus Christ – the true prince of peace comes to this earth to save us from ourselves and to stop us from going our wrong way that causes us to harm and hate one another. Yes, world peace or true peace is coming to both Europe, Russia, China, the United States and to all the nations on earth when Christ comes. Notice Revelation 11:15: “And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ, and He shall reign forever …”

The events happening now in the United States and Europe is going to lead to the most wonderful and glorious event to take place in the history of the entire universe, and that event is the glorious and majestic, supernatural return of Jesus Christ coming to earth in all power as the new super ruler of planet earth; and as SUPREME President and ruler, Jesus Christ is going to ultimately bring true and lasting peace to humanity.; He is going to show us the way to true and lasting peace. We are not now far from the time when the supernatural signs in the heavens are going to occur -as men are going to look up into the heavens and be filled with stark terror -as they see the sun become dark and moon will give no light, and stars falling from heaven- as the sign that Christ is now coming to put down human rebellion and stop wars and all the insane killings that has claimed the lives of so many.

It cannot be overstated that we are living in frightening times in which mega - death and destruction is coming that is going to result in the death of millions across this planet; and you reading this is most likely going to be impacted when these ten nations in Europe comes together -as so many are going to be caught off guard; it will be the worst time of trouble for the United States -as people are truly devoid of the knowledge of what is going to come to pass, and what I am telling you is real; it is going to happen; our cities are going to be destroyed; we are a nation already in trouble and we do not yet recognize it; our day of reckoning is at hand, and it is only Jesus Christ who is going to be able to save and deliver our people, but He will only do so after we have learned some harsh lessons!
