CRAIG HAMILTON-PARKER’S WORLD PREDICTIONS 2025, PART 4 of 7: THE MIDDLE EAST & UKRAINE

[Note: Three stars

UKRAINE CONFLICT -

The Ukraine war will escalate in early January with drone attacks on Russia. -

Ukraine will succeed with drone strikes, hitting oil refineries and military sites. - A strange smell or chemical leak will be in the air, possibly from an oil refinery or nuclear plant. -

Ukraine-Russia talks won’t be as quick or easy as US President Trump hoped. - Ukraine will eventually get a “sort of victory” by pushing the Russians back. - A Russia-Ukraine peace deal will happen in late 2025, led by the US. - Ukraine will lose part of Crimea and a narrow strip of land to the east connecting Russia to its ports. - Russia’s frozen assets will go to Ukraine for rebuilding. - Ukraine won’t join NATO as part of the deal, which Putin will call his “victory.” - A second Ukraine war will happen later (not in 2025) - Another country like Georgia may break away from Russian control.

PUTIN AND RUSSIA’S FUTURE -

Putin is not as healthy as he portrays himself to be and will start showing signs of illness (possibly in 2025 or 2026) - Putin is not as strongly in power as it seems. - After Putin, another person “just as bad” will follow him. - Later, a strong woman with “mystical roots” connected to Siberia will lead Russia. - A new spiritual movement blending paganism and Christianity will rise. - This belief system will emerge from old ideas from places like Siberia. - This movement will challenge future Russian regimes.

US President Trump will reimpose sanctions on Iran. - These sanctions will fail because Iran has enough money and supplies. - Saudi Arabia will step up to be a negotiator between Iran and Israel. -

Saudi Arabia and Gulf States will work together to “tame Iran and tame Israel.” - US President Trump’s Abraham Accords for Middle East peace will be revisited with a “much bigger and better arrangement.” - Art and culture will help Arab-Israeli relations. - Elon Musk’s companies (Tesla, Starlink) will be involved in military operations. - US will test high-tech drones and AI systems in this conflict. - Middle East peace will come by late 2025 after things get worse. - Iran will agree to talk after being attacked. - A women’s rights movement will rise in Iran.

OIL AND ECONOMIC ISSUES - Oil refineries will burn in both Russia and Iran. - Europe will face oil shortages. - Europe will experience blackouts from the oil shortages. - World economies will see short-term disruptions from the oil shortages. - Oil prices will jump sharply. - However, a global oil crisis will be avoided (Craig Hamilton-Parker)

It is the same – perhaps even more so – with our love for God.” – The Venerated Enlightened Saint Basil the Great (vegetarian)
