Biden Administration comments on Ukraine are sending an unintended message to Europe

U.S. troops leave Ukraine and embassy cuts staff as fears grow of a Russian attack
February 12, 2022
The U.S. State Department is warning that it is “past time” for American citizens to leave Ukraine, as the threat of a Russian invasion remains imminent. Late Friday night, the department directed U.S. Embassy staff in Kyiv to depart the country. The U.S. is also suspending most consular services in Ukraine starting Sunday.
President Biden was speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the crisis late Saturday morning.
The State Department’s travel advisory for Ukraine has also been updated, telling Americans in that country to “depart immediately.” https://www.npr.org/2022/02/12/1080357795/ukraine-embassy-troops-russia
Regarding that telephone call today between Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin:
February 12, 2022
update(1:35pmET): The urgent Biden-Putin phone call which kicked off just after 11:00eastern has concluded after more than an hour. The US president again warned the Russian leader than any invasion of Ukraine would result in “swift and severe costs” to Russia.
Biden reportedly stressed that the US stands ready to for “other scenarios” – a reference to some level of a military response in defense of Washington’s ally Ukraine. A senior admin official told Fox News the call was “professional and substantive.” However it was added, “There was no fundamental change in the dynamic that has been unfolding now for several weeks.” https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/pentagon-pulls-forces-ukraine-safety-security-biden-phones-putin
That being said, recent comments about Russia and Ukraine from the Biden Administration are apt to have unintended consequences.
Consider the following:
Secretary of State Antony Blinken is on a tour of the Asia Pacific where he is reassuring regional allies that the US is still committed to its Asia “pivot” despite the recent focus on Russia and Ukraine. …
“But we know, the president knows and each of you knows this better than anyone else, that so much of this century is going to be shaped by what happens here in the Indo-Pacific region,” he added.
Early on in Biden’s presidency, officials made it clear that the foreign policy priority was meant to be on countering China and increasing the US footprint in the region. As part of this strategy, the US working to boost military cooperation in the region, and signed the new AUKUS military pact with the UK and Australia. 02/11/22 https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/blinken-reassures-pacific-allies-asia-pivot-still-despite-working-247-ukraine
The Europeans were already upset because of AUKUS. Related to that we produced the following video:
AUKUS sparking European military
In September 2021, US President Joe Biden, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced a new military partnership called AUKUS. This announcement upset the French and the European Union, which is not part of it. Could AUKUS be another spark for the Europeans to develop their own joint military? What have European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and former German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel called for? Could having the Europeans increase their military capacity and technology and be dangerous? Is the European King of the North, also called the King of Assyria, prophesied to destroy the USA (Daniel 11:39) and its British-descended allies? What could stop that? Is national or personal repentance possible? Do the nations need Jesus or military alliances?
Here is a link to our video: AUKUS sparking European military.
Europe basically believes that it is pushed aside because of USA interests in the Pacific. It was Hillary Clinton who came up with the Asian pivot strategy, which basically tells the Europeans that Europe is not that important to the USA anymore.
Consider also the following:
The U.S. would not send troops to evacuate American citizens stuck in Ukraine if Russia moves forward with an invasion, President Joe Biden stated Thursday.
{In a} statement during an interview with NBC News anchor Lester Holt. He urged Americans currently in Ukraine to evacuate the country, warning that any deployment of U.S. troops after a Russian invasion could lead to a “world war.” https://dailycaller.com/2022/02/10/biden-ukraine-russia-deploy-troops-invasion/
Now, there are a couple of points related to the above that could be disturbing to the Europeans.
The first is the implication that the USA is concerned it would not do well in a “world war” with Russia.
The second is that if the USA is unwilling to rescue American citizens stuck in a European country (Ukraine), how willing would the USA be to risk the lives American soldiers to defend another European county?
An unintended message that the Biden Administration is sending Europe is that Europe is basically irrelevant, the USA will put its specific interests at the time ahead of European ones, and Europe cannot really do anything about it.
Another unintended consequence of Biden Administration statements looks to push Europe to concludeit must take more military preparations itself.
As far as USA foreign policy goes, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates wrote that Joe Biden “had been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issues over the past four decades” (Traub J. Joe Biden Is Actually Listening. ForeignPolicy.com, September 14, 2020).
Notice also the following:
U.S. officials continue to use extremely harsh rhetoric when talking about this crisis. For example, Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman just went on television and stated that “Vladimir Putin should understand body bags will come back to Moscow” if Russia decides to invade Ukraine…
“If Vladimir Putin takes that action, the consequences will not just be for the Ukrainian people, which will be terrible, but for the world community at large because Vladimir Putin will say that any autocrat can take action that undermines international principles that Russia has signed up to—to sovereignty, to territorial integrity, that countries get to choose their own political alliances and their own foreign policy. Added to that, not only will there be dire consequences to the economy of Russia by what we will do, not just the United States but this extraordinary alliance that exists with all of Europe and the United States and countries around the world. Not only will that create consequences, but Vladimir Putin should understand body bags will come back to Moscow as well — that the citizens of Russia will suffer because their economy will be completely devastated. So, this is a very stark choice for him.”
Why would she say something like that?
Is she completely nuts?
Like so many others in Biden’s national security team, Sherman is in a position that she is completely unsuited for.
I have no idea how someone like her could possibly become Deputy Secretary of State, because the truth is that I wouldn’t even entrust her with being the deputy janitor of a local Dairy Queen.
Biden has literally surrounded himself with the worst national security team in the history of our country, and they have been relentlessly provoking the Russians over the past year. 02/10/22 http://endoftheamericandream.com/is-the-biden-administration-going-to-release-the-dogs-of-war-in-order-to-distract-us-from-all-the-other-bad-things-that-are-happening/
USA policies and statements are affecting leaders around the world.
The Bible shows that Europe, in particular, will end up with a “great army” (Daniel 11:25) and “many ships” (Daniel 11:40), under the leadership of one who will seemingly promise peace, but will bring war.
Notice, now, the following:
3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. (1 Thessalonians 5:3)
Some time in the future, the USA and Europeans will seem to make nice after tension, then the European Beast power will successfully invade the USA (Daniel 11;39) and also take steps to eliminate its English-speaking allies (cf. Daniel 8:24-25).
It will not be too many more years from now.

Is the USA prophesied to be destroyed by 2028?
Are there prophetic reasons to believe that the USA will not last two complete presidential terms? Yes. There is a tradition attributed to the Hebrew prophet Elijah that humanity had 6,000 years to live before being replaced by God’s Kingdom. There are scriptures, writings in the Talmud, early Christian teachings that support this. Also, even certain Hindu writings support it.
Here is a summary of ten items to consider: 1. If as the School of Elijah taught, that God inspired Elijah to state that the world as we have known it would last 6,000 years, to be followed by a thousand year sabbatical time, which Jewish tradition (Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin [97a]) and early Christian traditions records (e.g. Irenaeus, a hearer of Polycarp. Adversus haereses, Book V, Chapter 30:4), then we are getting close to the end of that time.
2. And if, consistent with scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments, we can apply the concept that a thousand years is as a day to God (Psalm 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8).
3. And if, as generally understood in the Church of God that Jesus was killed and resurrected no later than the Spring of 31 A.D. on Passover.
4. And if we can presume that the “last days” of a 7,000 year prophetic week began AFTER the middle day (day 4), then the last days prior to the “sabbatical” time, which some would refer to as the millennial Kingdom of God would last two thousand years.
5. And if when Peter referred to being in the last days (Acts 2:17-18) and since Hebrews 1:1-12 teaches that “God … has in these last days spoken to us by His Son.”
6. Then adding 2,000 years to a period of time leads to the end of the 6,000 years no later than 2031 (and it could be earlier than that).
7. Since the Great Tribulation is expected to start 3 1/2 years prior to that (cf. Revelation 12:14; 13:5) subtracting 3 1/2 years from the Spring of 2031 would be late in 2027.
8. Understand that the U.S.A. is prophesied to be taken over near the rise of the Beast and start of the Great Tribulation (cf. Daniel 11:39; Jeremiah 30:7; Matthew 24:21-22).
9. Therefore, since the end of two full U.S.A. presidential terms would end in January of 2029, these prophetic understandings point to the end of the U.S.A. prior to two full presidential terms.
10. This is also consistent with certain Hindu and Roman Catholic prophetic writings as well. This video gives more details and quotes which point to the destruction of the United States of America by 2028.

The Bible shows that the USA will be defeated by “friends” (Lamentations 1:1-2).
As far as prophecies involving Russia and Ukraine go, we recently uploaded the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
The situation between Russia and Ukraine has again heated up, although it has been tense since the Euromaiden protests and Russia’s annexation of Crimea. There was later a separation of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church from the Russian Orthodox Church. Is war prophesied for Russia and Ukraine? Are prophecies in the Bible associated with the ‘kings of the Medes’ and a power from the “north country” related to any in Russia and Ukraine? Is a confederation of powers from the north, east, and central Asia prophesied to destroy the coming end time European Babylon? Will the destruction be reminiscent of what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah? How is the King of the North and who will destroy him? Do those in Russia and Ukraine have a hope of salvation? Will Russia and powers of the east be involved in the gathering in Armageddon as prophesied in Revelation 16? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues.

PESCO and a Great European Army In November 2018, French President Macron called for a “true European army” because of China, Russia, and the USA. Some others in Europe have echoed that sentiment. On November 9, 2018, US President Donald Trump called that an insult, but the next day said that the USA wanted “a very strong Europe.” Emmanuel Macron referred to Donald Trump as “my friend” and indicated a desire to strengthen Europe’s military spending. In December 2017, 25 European nations agreed to be part of a military alliance called PESCO. Europe also has NATO and IEI. Will Europe end up with “a great army”? Has Donald Trump’s announcement to withdraw from the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty gotten some to say that Europe must rebel against the USA? Is the idea of a United States of Europe and a European army a “paranoid fantasy” or a biblical reality? Will the USA regret Europe becoming a stronger military power? Will the USA be betrayed by “friends” such as its continental European allies? Does the Bible teach any or all of this? Are there connections to the Beast of Revelation or the King of the North of Daniel 11?
