The coming collapse of NATO

 In a damaged world, at the end of World War II, only two great powers remained standing, capitalist America and communist Soviet Union. Naturally they were rivals, and both sought to undermine the other in the pursuit of the goal of becoming and remaining the sole superpower. The Americans came up with a proposal to the war devastated countries, that chose to follow America. The USA would support countries to rebuild their nations,  provide massive financing, technology, manpower and material resources. Totally open up the American market to these countries to freely sell their goods and services in America. The only condition was America would write and control their security policy and in turn America would guarantee their security. To implement this plan three security organisations were set up SEATO, CENTO and NATO. SEATO (The SouthEast Asia Treaty Organisation) formed as an anti Communist organisation in 1954. Its members were Australia, France, New Zealand, Pakistan, t...

Trying to Outrun the Bear - The West versus Russia.

  It's always a good idea to start with a story. Once two competing political leaders were walking through the woods when they attracted the attention of a huge bear. The bear noticed them and started to walk towards them. The first leader immediately opened his backpack, pulled out a pair of sneakers and started putting them on. The second man looked at him and said: “What are you thinking? You’ll never be able to outrun that bear!” “Oh, I know that, I don't have to outrun the bear, I only have to outrun you.” As a parallel and in the present circumstances the two leaders can be visualised as the Collective West and Russia. Both of them trying to outrun the bear which signifies social and economic danger and possibly even death. The well prepared Russians relying on their tremendous military capabilities, abundant natural resources and global goodwill are definitely better organised and prepared for the conflict on one hand. An over confident and arrogant West led by American ...

Lèse-majesté

  Lèse-majesté is a French term 'to do wrong to majesty'. It is a millennia old concept that one cannot offend the sovereign of a state. Even in democracies many elected officials unleash the harshest of reactions should they or their ideas be questioned, let alone criticised. Over a four hundred year period (1500 - 1920) Europe though sheer ruthlessness, deceit, cunning, and industry had colonised large parts controlling at its peak 84% of the world to became rulers of the world. The tragedy is after two world wars and loss of their colonies and reduced to 18% of the world, they still consider themselves as the rulers of the entire world except allies like Japan, Australia, Canada etc. Rulers consider themselves above the principles, laws and practices they themselves espouse for others to follow. They do pretty much what they want and their own populace and others across the world must meekly submit. After world war II America became the emperor and Europe became kingdoms ...

How and why Russia entered Ukraine?

In 1999, almost a decade after the collapse of the Soviet Union a weakened Russia's Putin boldly proposed Russia's support to an American led world order as a slightly junior partner and sought a political, military and economic union with NATO and EU. His goal as a true statesman was to dispel suspicion and ensure peace, harmony and prosperity for Europe. Unfortunately Russia was promptly rebuffed by an aghast America.  Putin saw but refused to accept the reality that Europe had no equitable place for Russia amongst the Europeans. He did see however that the West wanted to continue to view Russia as a weak and unstable vassal only to be exploited. They were succeeding in Ukraine but a proud Russia refused to submit.  In a formerly unipolar world an American led West dominated the world. Unfortunately a very powerful West has failed in its moral, legal, political etc. leadership. An arrogant and increasingly decadent West abused excessively both its hard and soft power ove...

World War@Ukraine - Plan ‘C’ - Supply Heavy Weaponry

  Plan 'C' - Supply Heavy Weaponry Since Plan ' A ' and Plan ' B ' have blown up in their faces, the West has moved on to Plan ' C '. Plan 'C' is primarily the supply of heavy weaponry, such as tanks, fighter aircraft, etc. providing lots of artillery guns, and supplying truck mounted missile systems, to attack targets at greater distance than 'MANPADS' (man-portable air-defense systems) can. And there are the and Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS). The West too even dipping into NATO member countries own operational inventories. All equipment earmarked for Ukraine from the West are mostly supplied through Poland. There is no accountability of where and how these weapons are being used as they are dumped into the black hole of Ukrainian unaccountability. It is widely held that more than half of all supplies are being punted of to illegal international arms dealers at huge discounts and hence there are a whole group of people making ...
