Putin’s Powers
Yesterday it was announced that the Russian leader Vladimir Putin has signed in a law that could give him an additional two more terms in office, extending his power in office all the way into 2036.
The Gurardian reported, ‘The new law places a two-term limit on presidents, but doesn’t apply retroactively to Putin’s past four terms since he assumed office in 2000, which means he could serve until 2036 if elected again twice.’
Presidential terms for Russian Presidents last six years and Putin’s current term is set to expire in 2024. Last year Russians voted to pass constitutional amendments that allow Putin to remain in power until 2036.
If Putin does in fact remain in power going into 2036, he will be Russia’s longest-serving leader of Russia since Joseph Stalin’s 29-year reign.

Russia Building Forces At Ukrainian Border
After learning that Russia has been amassing forces near the border of Ukraine, Russia warned the Western world to not send troops to Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of building forces near its border – to which the United States said it would stand with Ukraine.
If America sends troops then a spokesman for the Kremlin stated they will have to respond accordingly.
There is no doubt such a scenario would lead to a further increase in tensions close to Russia’s borders. Of course, this would call for additional measures from the Russian side to ensure its security.
Russia is not threatening anyone, it has never threatened anyone.
Dmitry Peskov. Kremlin spokesman
Russia stated that its armed forces will be holding military exercises near the border towards the south to practice against attack drones.
The defense military said to reporters that over 50 battalion combat teams made of 15,000 people will take part in these exercises to practice “interaction with electronic warfare and air defense units.”
In response to this, the Pentagon has raised its alert level status following the recent build-up, according to a report by AFP.

Going Digital
Along with so many other nations and central banks looking into creating their digital currencies, Russia is also doing something similar.
The Sun reported in mid-February that Russia is looking to launch a digitized version of their currency, the Ruble. A more detailed concept is set to be released by the summer according to a Russian financial watchdog.
Citing a report from RT, the majority of lenders gave their support for a two-leveled currency.
‘The model would allow banks to open wallets for their clients on the central bank’s platform and conduct operations with the currency,’ reports The Sun.
We will develop a more detailed concept and start discussing it with the public, market participants, and banks at the beginning of summer.

This new cryptocurrency would still be able to operate along with physical rubles, and private and corporate users to be able to transfer crypto rubles to their digital accounts.
Burning The Corona Castle
Several weeks ago in Russia, a castle made of natural materials was burned and watched by many Russians to celebrate a ‘good riddance’ to Covid. Western media has completely ignored this.
According to Ruptly,
A giant ‘castle’ made of natural materials was torched on Saturday as part of the Maslenitsa week celebration at the Nikola-Lenivets Art Park, in the Kaluga Region.
The audience, with pre-purchased tickets, attended the ceremonial burning of the 24-metre (78 feet) art installation, made from vines and hay.
The burning of the giant ‘Castle of the cannibal corona’ symoblised a hopeful goodbye to the COVID-19 pandemic.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Genesis 9:27
Japheth’s descendants became the “White” nations. While we have continually noted China’s massive growth in power and wealth, Russia is a dark horse that many are neglecting.
The Bible makes no mention of a western superpower in the end times. It is going to be the eastern powers. In the book of Ezekiel 38-39, what is known as the Gog-Magog war is described and it is Russia and other eastern powers involved in this war/convergence on Israel. This is what the book of Revelation prophesizes.
And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Revelation 16:12
Of course, the west and America will not talk about it, but their power will significantly decrease majorly (as we have already been seeing with the economic ruin that has been caused by the lockdowns, and will put daggers into many more economies when the markets face an inevitable collapse).
We also noted an inevitable “cyber pandemic” that will essentially reset the tables concerning the internet, and in these simulations (similar to those that were done for Covid in advance), Russia was invited to play along. So I suggest keeping eyes on that.

It’s weird and sad. Russia has been poking at many countries for years – Countries they used to control due to USSR.
