Gird Your Loins!

On 7/19/2025 @ 4:58am, the Lord woke me up with thoughts regarding Ukraine, Russia and the United States of America. He brought to mind the “TECHNOCRACY” and “Lions, Tigers and Bears, Oh My!” visions I previously posted on this site along with the events outlined below. All of these are related.

On June 13, 2025, the U.S. Army swore in four technology leaders as Lieutenant Colonels. They are part of a new initiative called “Detachment 201: The Army’s Executive Innovation Corps.” According to Wired.com, this detachment is intended to “make the U.S. Armed Forces “leaner, smarter, and more lethal.” Those sworn in are:

1. Shyam Sankar: Chief Technology Officer for Palantir, with expertise in technology and military innovation.

2. Andrew “Boz” Bosworth: Chief Technology Officer of Meta, with experience in technology development and innovation.

3. Kevin Weil: Chief Product Officer of OpenAI, with expertise in AI and product development.

4. Bob McGrew: Advisor at Thinking Machines Lab and former chief research officer for OpenAI, with a background in AI research.

On June 26, 2025, Ukraine’s President Zelensky attended the 2025 NATO Summit. The New York Post and other media outlets posted a photograph of the leaders in attendance. President Zelensky was included in the photo with NATO leaders, although Ukraine is not a member nation of NATO.

On or around July 14, 2025, U.S. President Trump placed a 50-day deadline on Russia to agree to a peace deal. If no peace deal is reached, then “very severe tariffs” upon Russia will be enacted. At this time, an agreement was made public where European (NATO) nations will purchase American weapons to then transfer them to Ukraine. Nations expressing interest in this initiative include:

Germany, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. These are all NATO member nations. This aligns NATO allies directly against Russia. Russia has warned against this.

The Lord really has me pondering if another deal was made between President Trump, President Zelensky and NATO that has not been made public. With the technology leaders now sworn into the U.S. Army, could a deal have been made where the U.S. sells weaponry to NATO allies to get something in return? A quid pro quo? Could that something be Ukraine and NATO countries allowing the U.S. to Beta Test AI (artificial intelligence) in the live war between Ukraine and Russia?

This would be viewed as an “assumed victory” by the West and Ukraine. If so, what level of AI involvement remains to be seen. Drones have already been used by Ukraine, so AI could additionally be used for Intelligence and Surveillance, Cyber Warfare, Target Recognition and Identification, Predictive Analytics, Language Translation and Communication, Decision Support Systems, and Cybersecurity, etc. It truly depends on AI capabilities and if even more advanced AI technologies have been suppressed and hidden from the public.

With President Trump’s desire to make the United States “the world’s No.1 superpower in artificial intelligence”, would taking advantage of a live war scenario to test AI be off the table?

The events above say no.

If Russia does not make a peace deal by the deadline, then there is a strong likelihood. This level of military operation involving AI on a deeper level would require an experienced war hawk.

Is this why there are discussions of President Zelensky being replaced?

The final question to consider is:

What will Russia’s response be? If a layperson like myself, with the Lord’s guidance, can connect these events and come to a possible conclusion, then geopolitical and military experts in Russia definitely can and will proact or react, according to their perceived threat.

How this all unfolds remains to be seen.

As I finished communing with the Lord over this, I received in the spirit, “Gird your loins!”

Biblically, “gird up thy loins” is a call to action, urging individuals to prepare themselves physically, mentally, or spiritually for what lies ahead.”

May we, in the Body of Christ, do just that!

1 Peter 1:13-16:

13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
