If Russia is an aggressor?

WORLD situation is becoming grimmer and grimmer with the passage of every hour, Russian are fighting three prone war one in Ukraine, second on US controlled international forums and media, and third to counter US and allies move to Isolate Russia through financial and economic sanctions.

US, EU and NATO are behaving like paper Tigers and Ukrainian people don’t know if NATO has pushed Ukraine in this war against Russia, where people are misled by Zionist since more than a decade and Ukrainian army used as mercenary army to join US misadventures against Muslim countries.

The so-called champions of human rights and liberties are directly responsible for present Ukraine war to blame Russia as aggressor.

Our memories are fresh that NATO was established after WW2 to serve as security Alliance between North America and Europe, 1989 saw collapse of Berlin Wall and 1991 saw disintegration of USSR.

While forming UN, NATO, SEATO and CENTO, the main objective of western leaders was to engage Soviets in cold war gimmickry to protect Capitalism and democracy as an effective tool to control and colonize world resources by use of third degree methods including compromising sovereignty of those countries by regime changing.

After collapse of USSR it was announced to voluntarily liquidate NATO, SEATO and CENTO, when Russia dissolved the Warsaw pact.

US first roped in European Union in its clutches then to protect and promote Capitalism first attacked Sovereign Yugoslavia a strong castle of Non-aligned movement by dividing a sovereign country into bits and pieces to send warning to other Eastern European countries not to think of revival of Socialism in their countries.

UN and ICJ never booked US for genocide and crime against humanity when atrocities were committed in Yugoslavia, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Arab Spring and Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan were targeted after 9/11 drama, which was well planned and executed in which again innocent US citizen suffered.

But US continued to blackball Russians by expanding NATO membership to corner Russia, last straw was seen in 2021 when Bosnia and Ukraine were made NATO member to threaten Russian security.

The people having conscience are writing that the failed dream of US imperialism has led to present expansionism through NATO and UN and against all promises to strengthen peaceful coexistence, almost all Central Asian Republics were made NATO members against President Bush assurance given in 1991 that after German inclusion in NATO no other country will be admitted as NATO member, but when US found it helpless in trade war against China, they deployed naval carriers in Indo-Pacific region, to consolidate powers for naval blockade the QUAD was activated in Indo-Pacific between US, Australia, India and Japan.

Not satisfied US entered into yet another nuclear submarines security Alliance AUSUK with US, Australia and UK to block China at sea.

One strategic analyst views is that in case Russia loses in Ukraine then India will be used and given the role of US policeman in Asia against China and Pakistan therefore Pakistani leadership has to apply wisdom with courage and resolve political differences instead of dividing the nation to serve the hidden western agenda, the timing of present political impasse is very dangerous and hidden hand is purposely playing wild shots exploiting our mediocre leadership and blind and dumb intelligentsia that has led to this trap.

It is admitted fact that every country has its own national interest, China has been working on alternate route and in 1960ies had financed KKH project through army engineers, but in 1972 they were not satisfied with alignment of KKH built by our engineers, Prime Minister Bhutto allowed 80,000 Chinese men coming in Pakistan to build KKH from Besham/Thakot to Khunjerab was completed.

Then in 1992 Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif visited Gawader with Chinese Ambassador and accepted Chinese offer to build a port through Chinese contractor, International power play led to China extending helping hand to Zardari and Nawaz in 2008-13 by announcing CPEC project and establishment of 7 economic zones to cater for socio-economic well being in Pakistan but we failed to transform it into reality rather musical chair played in destabilising political system to sabotage this project.

Iran was another country facing serious threats from US and it cohorts.Our salvation lies in joining the Shanghai Cooperation Councils that was a natural alternate and gaining strength in Asia.

Russia and China also extended hand of goodwill to Iran to sustain against Western onslaught.

To understand background of war in Ukraine, after 1991 a policy shift started when US & EU started interference this region and the present conflict that began in February 2014 has now become a threat to world peace if western powers continue external support to Ukraine.

While experts view the situation as a built-up that was prevalent since the Cold War era between the US and the Soviet Union, contemporary political analysts perceive it as a residual of the regional hegemony of Russia, a Jew leader Zalenskky was planted not only to control majority Christian country but to work to destabilize Russia, who also turned Ukraine army into mercenary army fighting US and NATO proxy wars be it Iraq, Afghanistan, Middle East or anywhere, hence Vladimir Putin acted like a great statesman of time to teach Zalenskyy a lesson not to destroy the country which has historically, socially and politically remained close with Soviets.

The day Russian forces started operation against Ukraine our Prime Minister surprisingly visited Russia, with the offer to mediate between Russia & US, which exposed our foreign policy blunders, first we saw our love affair weakening with US after Trump era, China and Russia have seasoned foreign ministers at the helm of affairs and would not allow anyone play smart with them, any such mistake will have its own consequences.

We are passing through very difficult time and running a country through yellow democracy and controlled power play may bring catastrophic result and we may face worse than Ukraine like situation.

It’s time to unite the nation under one umbrella and develop national consensus and stop this musical chair for regime change without complete surgical remedy to our political and administrative ailment in transparent manner to save our country and the nation from negative impact of this bull fight.

Allah Almighty may grant serenity, wisdom and courage to our leaders to lead the nation and not betray for self-aggrandizement.Allah may Bless Pakistan and Humanity.
