Question: In this time, when the French president appears to provoke and antagonize the government of Vladimir Putin on a regular basis, creating conditions for war with Russia, how can we as your direct students participate in the masters’ plan for dealing with this situation?
Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2024 Easter webinar.
What you can do as ascended master students is what we have already talked about, give the invocations and decrees, raise your consciousness, hold the vision. Now I would not agree with the assessment that the French president is antagonizing the Russian government and creating the conditions for war with Russia, because what actually caused Russia to invade Ukraine was a miscalculation on the part of Putin and those people who support him and who are either in the same state of consciousness as he is in or do not have the courage to contradict him.
They had gotten themselves into this state of mind, which you have heard them express any number of times, and you still hear them say that the West is weak, the West is decadent, the West is divided. And they never imagined that the West would respond the way they have done to the invasion of Ukraine. And they are still thinking that one day they will be tired of it. And one day they will take over Ukraine. And some of them are still thinking that this will be a springboard to go further with a plan that Putin envisioned of recreating the Russian Empire. They still think that the West is weak and therefore Ukraine will fall. And this will mean that they can take other territories. And what the French president and others, other leaders are doing is an attempt to counteract this illusion on the part of the Russian leadership by making it clear that the West is not divided, the West is united, at least in Europe, against Russian aggression. And that further Russian aggression will be met with the only kind of response that the Russian leadership understands, namely, a clear and undivided response.
The Russian leadership are in a state of mind right now where they only respect force and strength. They started the war in Ukraine because they thought the West was weak. And the only way to stop them from taking over Ukraine and continuing their conquest is to demonstrate to them that the West is not weak. It is as, for example, the German leader has said that the only way to prevent a war is to demonstrate that you are ready to fight it. I am not saying that this is the highest outcome. This is obviously not my vision for the golden age. But given the current situation and the decisions made by the Putin government, it is the only response that can prevent an escalation of Russia’s conquest. And that is why, of course, even though the situation is not ideal, it is simply a practical reality that if the West appears to be divided, then Russia will seek to exploit this. And that is why it is a severe miscalculation by Donald Trump and the Republican Party to signal that they are not behind the support of Ukraine. It is a severe miscalculation. And it is an enormous karma that is being made by the people who are creating this seeming division in the Western response to Russian aggression, because it can only lead to further Russian aggression. And that is what could lead to a large scale war.
Now you will notice that the West has said that they are not seeking to attack Russia. But Russia has repeatedly said that the war is not an aggression, but a defensive war. Because Putin is trying to portray the image that if he had not attacked Ukraine, the West would have attacked Russia. But just ask yourself a simple question. Even though Russian production of weapons and ammunition has increased over the last year, there was a point at the end of 2022 where Russia’s stockpiles of weapons and soldiers was at a very low point. If NATO had had active plans to attack Russia, there would never have been a better point to attack Russia than in 2022 or early 2023. And the very fact that NATO did not attack Russia when they were tied up in Ukraine proves that NATO does not have any active plans to threaten or attack Russia. NATO was of course created in order to stop Russian aggression. I am saying Russian because the Soviet Union was led by Russia. There is really no way from the perspective of the Christ mind that you can construe what Russia is doing as anything but aggression.
It is aggression. It is not defensive. It is the typical response of a dictator who has attained all power in his country, but still cannot solve the country’s problems and therefore must have an outer enemy that he can blame for the fact that he cannot solve the country’s problems. You will see if you look at the French president that he started out saying that we should not humiliate Putin, we should give him a way out. But now he has changed and realized that this was not a realistic scenario. And I am not saying that I approve of everything that the French president stands for. But how often do you see a world leader who is willing to change course and thereby implicitly admit that he was wrong before? This deserves a certain amount of credit.
