"DIA Director John Ratcliffe's Mystery Visit to Russia:  Was He SUMMONED??"


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
In this letter I wrote about CIA Director John Ratcliffe's 'surprise mystery' visit to Moscow this last week.  And what the MSM is telling us about it.  Even though the White House, the Pentagon, the CIA and even Moscow are mum about the reason for the visit.  It is highly unusual for a CIA Director to do such visits.
 
There are speculations about the purpose of the meeting.  The one I see as most plausible is Moscow summoned Ratcliffe.  To tell him how things are going to be...  
 
I also wrote about Russia's recent threats to the UK and France. 
 
And right after Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow, Russia tested an ICBM - a follow-up to that meeting??
 
And Hal Turner reported he has info there is/was a Russian sub off of the NYC/New Jersey coastline - some 70 miles.  Another follow-up to that meeting?
 
And I added a few rumors that are going around....
 
Also, I noted that the UK and France are preparing their civilian populations for war with Russia.
 
Then I ended with a look at AI in the military:  U.S., Russia, China - all moving towards AI
 
CIA Director's Visit To Moscow:
 
On August  26, 2026, CIA Director John Ratcliffe flew to Moscow.  He flew in on a US Air Force C-17, Globemaster III from Riga, Latvia.  It was on the ground in Moscow about 8 hours; then returned to Riga the same day..  Mum has been the word from the Trump administration, the CIA, the Pentagon and Moscow about the purpose of this visit... the trip was described as a 'surprise', a 'mystery', 'highly secretive' - so secretive that senior White House officials were not informed of the visit.
 
The last CIA Director to visit Moscow was Director Burns - he went to warn Putin against invading Ukraine.  Russia invaded Ukraine some three months later.
 
It's being reported that the meeting lasted less than two hours.  And that the meeting was with Russian Intelligence Officials - and not Putin himself.  Putin was later briefed.  At the same time as Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow, the Vatican Foreign Minister Archbishop Paul Gallagher met with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov - he reportedly was there to 'urge and end to the Russia-Ukraine war.'  
 
"An unannounced visit by the CIA Director to Moscow is highly unusual...Historically, CIA directors don't engage in direct diplomacy.  Highly public trips to a potential direct adversary typically are meant to deliver a message that Washington knows of activity that is working against the interests of the united States, gauge the response, and compile an analysis...Ratcliffe's trip comes at a time when Russia has become significantly more aggressive on NATO's Eastern flank and toward Japan."
Why did CIA Director Ratcliffe travel to Moscow
 
Did Ratcliffe Warn Moscow?:
 
The MSM is CIA controlled and they reported that Ratcliffe went there to 'warn Russia not to attack NATO'.  
 
There is speculation that Ratcliffe's meeting was also about Russia's military involvement with Iran in the US-Iran war - that he was 'encouraging' Russia to stop backing Iran financially and militarily and that he warned Russia about further attacks on Ukraine.  Some believe he was there to urge Russia to make a deal before their military/financial situation worsens.  And some believe he was there to deter Russia from escalating action against American interests because of the Iran war depleting America's military assets.
 
Was Ratcliffe Summoned By Russia?:
 
 Yet, there are some who believe that Ratcliff was summoned by Russia - that NATO had or was about cross a Russian 'red line'.  And, why was Ratcliffe in Riga, Latvia?? (Riga has an advanced command and staff cell of NATO there.)
 
"Media says Ratcliffe flew to Moscow to warn Russia.  I think that's backwards.  He was called to be warned by Russia...If America wanted to warn Russia, they'd do it publicly...Why fly the CIA Director to Moscow in a military plane...if the goal is just delivering a warning?  You don't need face-to-face for that...Russia called him in.  Told him something.  Something serious enough that it required this kind of meeting.  I can only speculate what Russians said.  But my gut tells me it's not good.  Russia's real red line is approaching.  Not the fake ones Western media keeps celebrating crossing.  The actual one."
SlavicPatriot on X: "My take on the CIA director's Moscow trip is different from everyone else's. Media says Ratcliffe flew to Moscow to warn Russia. I think that's backwards. He was called in to be warned by Russia. Think about it. If America wanted to warn Russia, they'd do it publicly. They'v… / X
 
I agree with the above reason for the 'surprise' visit.  And many others do also.  The CIA Director personally going to Moscow to tell them to 'not attack Ukraine' is NOT a normal part of the Director's job.  This had to be about an extremely sensitive matter.  I believe the Russians wanted the CIA to hear them loud and clear.  Since the CIA is probably running the Ukraine side of the war.  Maybe Russia told the CIA to tell Ukraine to stand down or else.  'Or else' meaning tactical nuclear weapons...The Russian-Ukraine war just keeps going on tit-for-tat...something has to break this pattern.
 
Russian Threats Against UK and France Intensify:
 
Meanwhile, Russia has increased their threats against the UK and France this week. Because the UK said it will give Ukraine access to classified technology for Ukrainian production of their own Storm Shadow long-range cruise missiles.  And France has also agreed to supply their missile technology with Ukraine.  Russia responded that both countries were 'playing with fire' and a follow-up of 'inevitable catastrophic consequences.'   
 
 
 
 
"Russia has stated that it could strike British military targets in Ukraine and beyond in response to Kyiv's use of British long-range Storm Shadow missiles." Russia claims that the UK is 'one step' away from "terrorism" against Russian civilians."  The UK is pushing for an escalation "to an entirely new level".

Russia Tests ICBM:
 
This comes just shortly after Ratcliffe's 'visit' to Moscow.  Is it a follow up warning that Russia is serious?
 
To, possibly support a summoning of Ratcliffe to Moscow, "Russia's Defense Ministry announced Friday that it conducted a successful combat training launch of mobile, solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in the northwestern Arkhangelsk region.  The Strategic Missile Forces deployed a MOBILE LAUNCHER BATTERY to a remote area before firing the missile across to the country to the Kura test site on the Kamchatka Peninsula, located more than 6,700 kilometers (4,160 miles) to the east...The military said the goal of the launch was to confirm the "tactical, technical and flight characteristics of the missile system....the ICBM maintained a "flawless trajectory"...The latest launch comes less than a week after unverified reports claimed that Ukrainian drones targeted Plesetsk, Russia's only military spaceport."
 
 
Hal Turner's News Article Russian Sub Off East Coast:
 
And Hal Turner is reporting some interesting news.  Are all of his recent news articles 'dots' that can be connected to Ratcliff's sudden trip to Moscow?
 
This information is on Halturnerradioshow.com website.
 
Hal Turner posted this article on August 28, 2026:  "An "unidentified" submarine has been detected in the Atlantic Ocean, about 60 to 80 miles off Sandy Hook, New Jersey and New York City.  US Northern Command anti-submarine warfare aircraft are searching the area."
 
Hal added, "My personal bet:  It's a Russian nuclear submarine.  If they were detected, my next bet is because they WANTED to be detected.  I think it's likely Russia - "sending a message" to the USA."
 
"A little after 6:00 PM eastern time on Friday evening, I reported that an Unidentified Submarine had been detected in the Atlantic Ocean about 75 miles off the New Jersey/New York City coastline.  What I didn't realize as I reported multiple P-8 Submarine hunters flying search patterns looking for the Sub, elsewhere in the continental US...five E-6 Doomsday Aircraft were scrambled."  These are Boeing E-6B Mercury - Navy aircraft; often called the "doomsday plane" - "it is built to survive a nuclear war or a total breakdown of normal military networks.
 
After Hal reported the sub off the coast of NYC, he found out "that it had been a Russian submarine and surfaced on purpose, to be detected.  I suspected the sub was the Russian government "sending a message" to the U.S."
 
All of this tells Hal that we are dangerously close to actual nuclear war.  He also wrote, that this tells him "the US is expecting to be attacked."
 
U.S. Ukrainian Embassy Warning Update:
 
In Hal Turner's article posted August 28, 2026, he wrote about the U.S. Embassy in Kiev announcing that U.S. citizens currently in Ukraine should prepare for immediate evacuation."
 
Hal reported that this notice came after Russia finished up with fifty-five hours of drone and missile attacks on Kyiv.
 
He wrote, "It seems to me - just my personal assessment - the U.S. is now aware that something much bigger is likely coming to Ukraine.  Perhaps something that came up when CIA Director John Ratcliff visited Moscow earlier this week?????  Looks to me like that meeting didn't go so good."
 
"For a U.S. Embassy to issue this kind of public warning to Americans seems like an extraordinary thing to me.  I can't help but feel this entire Ukraine thing is about to escalate in ways that lead to the unthinkable."
 
I see that the alert at travel.state.gov states "Do not travel to Ukraine for any reason due to the Russia-Ukraine war.  U.S. government employees need special authorization to travel outside of Kyiv due to safety risks...the State Department does not authorize family members to join U.S. government employees in Ukraine.  U.S. citizens in Ukraine are advised to take the same precautions."  This was updated on August 28, 2026.Ukraine Travel Advisory
 
Rumors Going Around:
 
There are rumors, August 28, that Putin has taken off to bunkers in Siberia.  'Russian state aircraft are suddenly departing from Moscow on after another, heading to shelters and command-and control centers in Siberia." 
 
And there are rumors that the Baltic states are warning about a potential Russia attack.  They have officially appealed to the E.U. for help.
 
Lukashenko, President of Belarus, was urgently flown to Moscow to meet with Putin and the Russian Foreign Minister.
 
Poland has called up their National Guard for immediate deployment.
 
On August 27, 2026m NYPrepper YouTube channel talked about Russian attacks in weeks on NATO.

UK And France Prepare for War With Russia:

Well, the UK is taking Russia's threat seriously:
 
"Russia warned that it would pay a "price" after reports that British made drones had been used in strikes deep inside Russia..The UK Cabinet Office has reportedly been told to bring forward planning for the home defence programme."  
 
"It includes plans for the "war book", the Government's classified blueprint to transition the country for crisis and conflict..."

UK 'accelerates major emergency planning' for Russian attack | World | News | Express.co.uk

"In a letter sent to regional health agencies, revealed by Le Canard Enchaine, the Ministry of Health asked hospitals to prepare for a "major military engagement" by March 2026.  The newspaper warned that between 10,000 to 50,000 men could be expected in hospitals over a period of 10 to 180 days."

In Conclusion:
 
It's been a very busy week!  Lots more, of course, going on we'll probably never learn about. 
 
The US government is not preparing its population for war...most Americans probably think nothing will happen here.

Many times we have been 'that close' to nuclear war...during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, then again in 1983 with the exercise 'Able Archer' and the Russian's malfunctioning missile detection equipment, the Suez Canal Crisis in 1956, the Korean War and numerous false alarms like in 1980 with NORAD.....I suspect we are 'that close' again.  these were all 'human involved' near misses....what about AI?  Who knows what someone's military AI is looking at...
 
"As nuclear weapons competition and risk grow, the U.S., Chinese and Russian militaries are racing to integrate AI tools into their conventional military systems and nuclear command-and-control systems to process more information more quickly to provide, as the Pentagon describes it, a "decision advantage" in a crisis of war."
 
 
"Artificial intelligence (AI) models used for a simulated war game escalated conflicts by the threatening nuclear strikes in 95% of scenarios, according to new research from King's College London."  Three models were used in this exercise:  GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4 and Gemini 3 Flash.  There were 21 'simulated nuclear crisis scenarios'
 
"Nuclear escalation was near-universal:  95% of games saw tactical nuclear use and 76% reached strategic nuclear threats."
 
"For all three models, one striking pattern stood out:  none of the models ever chose accommodation or surrender.  Nuclear threats also rarely produced compliance; more often, crossing nuclear thresholds provoked counter-escalation rather than retreat.  The models tended to treat nuclear weapons as tools of compellence rather than purely as instruments of deterrence." This study shows AI systems will not default to cooperative or 'safe' outcomes.
 
And before AI we were still 'that close' to nuclear war...several times.  
 
Hal Turner's report of the Russian sub off our coast isn't surprising...they are always off our East and West coasts...but with the Poseidon nearing deployment...they could set it near our coastlines...and detonate remotely.  Same for off the coast of the UK.
 
I remember hearing John Paul II talk about the Third Secret of Fatima...he said something to the effect of why do people want to know about millions drowning on the coastlines....sounds like a tsunami-type incidence.  Poseidon detonation?
 
Nothing will happen outside of God's will. 
 
Hopefully the Rapture will happen before the first nuke goes off...
 
God help us.
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
