It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.

Nightmares

Last year a young Ukrainian refugee, aged 27, came to us. She told us of her fiancé whose job had been drone-making. One day one of them exploded in his hands. All that remained of the young man’s body was a pair of legs. Last week another Ukrainian from the west of the Ukraine came to us and told us how in his city there is a curfew from 9.00 pm till 6.00 am every night, when trains arrive with the corpses of thousands of dead soldiers to be buried by night.

The old cemeteries are full and the new ones too. Such is the nightmare in the Ukraine, now being repeated in Gaza, the West Bank, the Lebanon, Iran and Israel. It is a nightmare of injustices and death. The last 112 years have been dominated by injustices, starting with those that occurred during and after the two World Wars. The Western elites caused them; all peoples suffered from them. The time has come for retribution and the correction of injustices.

Prophecies and the Decline of the Western World

We have entered the times of Biblical prophecies, when armies are massing in Biblical lands, and the times of the prophecies of Orthodox elders. However, all prophecies are conditional on repentance. So far we have seen no signs of repentance on the part of those who have begun their wars of choice against both Russia and Iran. In the wings is China, which has had its own difficulties with the West and may have been mentioned as ‘Sinim’ in the Book of Isaiah.

Extremists refer to Babylon and Armageddon, the prophecies of the Prophet Daniel, prophecies from the only Prophetic book in the New Testament, the Book of Revelation (the Apocalypse), and prophecies made by recent saints regarding what is now Turkey. We should be careful. There are those who through ignorance or through malevolence misinterpret such prophecies. All are conditional, all should be read through the prism of Church life.

The USA has much accelerated its own decline, decadence, bankruptcy and death through its many futile and unprovoked wars of death and destruction, for example, against Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, but above all more recently against Russia, Yemen and Iran. Its vassals, the Ukraine, Western Europe and the Gulf emirates and sheikhdoms, are committing suicide together with it. It is always better not to ally yourself with a suicide.

Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are just beginning to understand this and may yet save themselves, like rats trying to flee the sinking US ship. On the other hand, the feudal and anti-patriotic Globalist Western European elite still plans to turn the welfare States that it inherited into warfare States, just like their beloved Nazis. Only if that elite is changed, by election or by popular revolt, even at this eleventh hour, is there still any lingering hope of salvation.

We have seen that ‘Democracies’ are plutocracies and oligarchies, which are fundamentally feudal and have strong Fascist tendencies. And we have seen that ‘Autocracies’ are the still sovereign countries with people who patriotically resist Western Globalist oligarchy, colonisation and exploitation and retain their national identity. This is why throughout the twentieth century the Democracies set about destroying the remaining Autocracies, as in 1917.

Narcissism

Those who did not know the American bishop have learned that malignant narcissists like Trump do have superficial charm, but suffer from pompous and fantasist self-importance, with greed for money and power, stimulation, lies, manipulation. They also suffer from the inability to feel remorse and guilt and the pathological need to blame others for everything in self-justification. When they have lost, as they always do, they always walk away, declaring victory.

They disdain empathy, honesty, compassion and self-sacrifice, all the values of Christ, Whom they only pretend to confess. That is why they turn the Persecuted Church into the Persecuting Church, and are so aggressive, anti-missionary, anti-woman and anti-family, and may be sexually disturbed, like Hegseth, Graham or Bessent in Trump’s USA. Their Creed is: ‘Me, me, me’. And that is why they have no room in their lives for any others and destroy everything.
