Russia and Putin

Q. Hi Lynn,  This is from last July, but I thought you might find it interesting.  If you have any impressions, I would be interested in hearing them.

A. I see that tensions are rising in that area of the world, and Putin has had it.  He sees ISIS for what it is and also realizes that if things aren't put to a halt, and borders reestablished, all out chaos is going to break out (regarding the southern border of Russia and beyond). 

Many other countries (specifically the US) are trying to minimize the seriousness of what is going on with respect to how close war will turn physical versus passive aggressive (as it is now).  The goal is to get through the election process, survey the results, position key players / businesses (especially if the Powers That Were get their way with the election which they are working frantically to do) in money making roles and THEN the US will get more involved.

Q. I was doing my meditation today and trying to focus on what is coming up with Russia, if anything.  During this meditation, I got a picture of Russia's map with a focus on Leningrad (now called St. Petersburg).  I could not get any detail on what I was supposed to pick up on this location.  Later, however, I realized that Russia's great national museum, the Hermitage, is located there.  During WWII, when the Germans invaded and put Leningrad under siege for over two years, they took the priceless art objects out of the Hermitage and moved them to safer places deeper inside Russia until the threat was over.

If you don't mind, please focus your psychic abilities on the Hermitage.  If WW3 is indeed in the offing, I would expect that the Russians would be doing the same thing now, i.e., taking their priceless cultural heritage items out of harm's way and putting them in safer places, probably in deep underground bunkers.  If you can pick up on what is going on at the Hermitage, one way or the other, it should give us a significant insight into what is coming in terms of WW3 or peace.
A.  I cannot see where those items have been moved, but I do get that the military is ramping up and they are fortifying key buildings.  I also see that Putin is making arrangements to work ONLY from those buildings.  I do get that as things become much closer, items will be relocated (looks like the plan is to do it in the middle of the night through some kind of tunnel system, replacing items with "similar" forms of art) but Putin does not want chaos to break out (or the media) to pick up on his plan because he is smart enough at tactics to not reveal his play.

Q. The U. S. is forcing the issue in Syria.  They say it is for humanitarian reasons, but really it is about the fact that the Saudis want to build a natural gas pipeline through Syria that will compete for market share with Russia, which supplies a very large percentage of eastern Europe's natural gas.  In my opinion, Obama is getting frightened that he cannot pull this off before his term expires and I believe the billionaires to whom he pays allegiance are going to be most upset with him, as in perhaps severe prejudice.  As long as he thinks Clinton will win the white house, he is OK because she will carry on the effort on behalf of the same powers behind the throne, so he will not be punished. However, if Trump wins, it is game over.  Obama does not want direct combat between USAF and Russian jets over Syria, but he is running out of time.  Possibly, he will use Tomahawk missiles to attack Assad's forces, avoiding the use of American aircraft.  Russia will likely attempt to shoot those missiles down with their own missiles that are set up in Syria.  The big possibility looming ahead is that Putin will issue a declaration that any attack on Assad's forces will be considered a direct attack on Russia itself, and then it will be WW3 if the U. S. attacks with bombers, missiles, or any other means.

A.  I do see this as true.  I do see the US (along with Israel) is interested in Syria because of the natural resources.  As the dollar continues to be devalued it is critical to find natural resources that are in demand for the purpose of trade (and to use). I hear the phrase that "oil truly is liquid gold."

The refugee situation is also out of control (intentionally) and much of that looks to be a purposeful destabilization of European countries that could later be seen as a threat.  

Q. Putin's goal is to demolish NATO without firing a shot.  That way he can recreate the old Soviet Union with its vassal states in eastern Europe that will ring fence Russia itself, thereby pushing any future wars into the countries around Russia and saving Russian people and cities from destruction.  He is doing this by demonstrating that his rebuilt (and rebuilding) armed forces have reached parity with the west and that Russia can win a conventional land war in Europe even if it has to fight the U. S.  Europeans are starting to take notice, since the U. S. has not been able to dislodge Russia from Ukraine.  Also, the U. S. is beginning to position missiles on Russia's doorstep, ostensibly as protection from Iran nuclear missiles (however, they don't have nuclear warheads or any such missiles to deliver them).  Also, some in Europe wonder if the U. S. military fallen into decline while Russia's is modernizing.

A.  i get it has been Russia's goal to re position herself since Putin took control.  Russia is strong, and continues to get even stronger.  Many countries have underestimated Russia's capabilities, and yes they are becoming very modern as other countries fall behind..

Q. Both sides have been holding "snap" drills wherein their forces practice mobilization and movement on a moment's notice.  The recent, rumored civil defense drills in Moscow (and probably other big cities such as St Petersburg) are also practice for the real thing and they demonstrate to NATO that Russia is serious about defending against nuclear attack by the west.  Russia has been invaded twice in the last hundred years by the west and they are very suspicious about NATO.  In the meantime, the U. S. continues to pre-position equipment and supplies in western Europe for conventional warfare and install missiles on Russia's borders, thereby reducing Russia's reaction time to a preemptive strike to mere minutes.

I suspect that Putin feels like he is running out of time because of the NATO build up on his borders.  He believes, I suspect, that one day NATO will give him an ultimatum to become a U. S. vassal state or be destroyed.  Obama feels that his time is running out also.  Things seem destined to come to a head in just a few months or less.
A.  I do see this as true.  The time is getting close, and tensions are very much on the rise.  I see after the election, things will get volatile (unless the PTW lose control and Trump gets into office)..

And that is all I have for this reading.  Thank you.  Love and light-
