The war in Ukraine, is not even about Ukraine

The world stands on the brink of a World War.  The conflict in Ukraine is not even about Ukraine. It's about great power rivalry. The American led West against the Russian led powers of the East. Both groups dragging many other nations across the globe into seemingly an insane but in reality a sinister conflict. As a result the war is not just claiming lives and property as much as it is destroying souls and damaging humanity. Why is this happening? The world was ruled for 400 years by European empires like Britain, France, Spain, Germany, the Dutch, Portugal, etc.  Unrestrained arrogance and greed of European rulers, leaders and business interests led to numerous conflicts and culmination in two World Wars. This greatly weakened Europe and their empires. A shrewd America used her vast natural resources and industrial power to supply almost half the weapons, ammunition, and goods used in these wars and subsequent reconstruction to both the warring sides. As a result America em...

Empires, always appear their strongest just before their collapse

The main role of the Central Intelligence Agency with its US$ 38 billion annual budget at that time was to keep an eye on the USSR.  Along with all the innumerable 'experts' in ' Think Tanks ', media, US State Department , The White House , The Pentagon they were all caught by surprise, when on 26 Dec 1991, the empire called Soviet Union dissolved into 15 Republics. This at a time when experts saw USSR as extremely powerful, none of them even had an inkling as to the likely collapse of the USSR .  I mention the Soviet Union collapse, so readers can get a perspective on the reliability of so called ' experts ' on China. Nothing about China is as it seems. The opacity of the Communist Party of China 's rule of China and its adroitness in concealing information to mislead the world and its own people coupled is legendary. With the narrative brought to us by 'experts' confined to their narrow disciplines and specialities makes understan...

Who said that?

World War II was a bloody and sickening affair. A dirty and shameful blot on human history. It was not a war for truth or justice etc. but as usual it was about power. The rivalry between established world powers of France, Great Britain, United States, USSR and want to be great powers of Germany, Japan and Italy.  Nevertheless, 80 Million people died due to wounds, and war induced disease and famine The former Soviet Union alone lost 26.6 Million people.  Unfortunately behind everything we see or experience in the material world is about power. First they fight, then they decide what is the noble cause for which they are fighting. They fight, then they weep. "It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it." General Robert E. Lee _____________________________ The Soviet Union was led by their leader Josef Stalin. Stalin was frequently described by Lenin as "a course, brutal, bully". Stalin's willingness to sacrifice...
