War Propaganda - 10 Commandments

We do not want War. The opposite party alone is guilty of war. The enemy is the face of the devil. We defend a noble cause, not our own interest. The enemy systematically commits cruelties: our mishaps are involuntary. The enemy uses forbidden weapons. We suffer small losses, those of the enemy are enormous. Artists and intellectuals back our cause Our cause is sacred All those who doubt our propaganda are traitors ~ Arthur Ponsonby Does this sound familiar? Should be. Becaus

10 reasons - why Russia invaded Ukraine

10 reasons why Russia had to invade Ukraine. 1. Crimea Most of Russia's ports are iced over for about 6 months in a year and hence not useful for global trade by sea. The port at Sevastopol on Crimean peninsular is one of the few ports that operate all year long and through which much of Russian imports and exports flow. Crimea is an existential requirement for Russia and its forceful occupation in 2014, Russia wants to formalise its annexation. 2. Ports on the Black Sea an

Suicide by Sanctions and other means

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union and its divorce from its East European allies, Russia believing itself European, tried its hardest to integrate itself with Europe and America. The West purchased many, key Russian technologies, assets and industries in the distressed Russian economy at a huge discount, and positioned themselves to at will exert a vice-like grip on Russia's financial, technological, communications, media etc. sectors.

If you thought that Nazis were finished off after World War II, think again.

The history of Europe is a history of relentless brutal, bloody and destructive series of conflicts. One of the most alluring target of conquest by big nations was Russia and her surrounding areas, such as Ukraine. Each power used a logic mostly perverted by their beliefs and ideologies to try and dominate, Russia. Every aggressive power needs an ideology to justify its behaviour and carry out its designs with the support of their population, financiers, glory and power seeke

Using Sanctions, America shoots Europe.

For past 30 years we have been living in a unipolar world with America being the world's sole superpower which formulates, decides and acts the way the world should function. And America intends to keep it that way. Hegemonies cannot tolerate even the smallest possible challenge to their dominance. So they are always in a state of undeclared war against threats, both real and perceived. They have to constantly weaken potential challengers and even allies have to be brought t

Russia will win both the war and the peace in Ukraine

If one listens to global media which feeds on Western media, one gets the impression that Russia is losing the war in Ukraine. However nothing could be further from the truth. Russia values its long and deep relations with the people of Ukraine. Russia therefore does not see Ukraine nor the Ukrainian people as enemies, they do see the Ukrainian leadership as corrupted by America and Europe to serve as a vassal state and to act as a springboard for the break up and destruction

Coming implosion and disintegration of Pakistan

Pakistan a land carved out of India in 1947 to provide a separate homeland to India's Muslims , unwilling to remain in a Hindu majority secular democracy. The land until its formation had been home to the oldest surviving civilisation in the world. The people innovative, sturdy and hardworking and the land once rich with fertile lands, mineral riches, culture, arts and science is now a pariah state with no money, credibility, respect, friends nor partners.

Why in democracies, citizens want more but want to give less?

"Is this world a good or bad? Are we fundamentally good or bad? The answers shape our individual existence. If we feel the world is good and we are inherently divine, then we live a friendlier, happier and optimistic life. If we feel that the world is bad place and we are evil and sinful, then we live a more fearful, grim life. We are usually pessimistic about people and hostile towards existence. Democracy is based on a philosophy that believes, humans are fundamentally good

Why America barged into Afghanistan and why it suddenly flew out.

The foundation of the modern global economy is driven by the default currency which is the United States dollar. In turn the dollar's value is pegged to the price of oil, making control and distribution of this vital energy source oil and gas extremely important. Afghanistan has 7 neighbours. Pakistan to the South and Iran to the West, the Central Asian Republics (CIS countries), of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan lie to the North, and China to the West and Pakistan o

What was America doing in Afghanistan before 9/11?

Much of the misery and conflicts across the world in the 21st century post world war II can be traced back to the jostling for power and influence by democratic America and communist Soviet Union. America led a great part of the world on the plank of liberty, free trade, capitalism and democracy whereas the Soviet Union also led a large part of the world but on the basis of direct control of the politics and economy on the basis of Communism. Afghanistan was one of the numer

Afghanistan, blessed and cursed by geography.

Simple and gregarious the Afghans have since millennia known only the little world of their local tribes. The healthy mountain water and air and diet, has generally resulted in a strong, well built, attractive, healthy Afghan population. The Afghan people work hard at eking out a living, have few expectations and treasure their simple way of life, for they knew no other. The people of Afghanistan continue to exist as always in countless small isolated tribes nestled between h

Relations with America can only be either dangerous or fatal.

It is difficult to fathom what America thought and why it acted in the way it did, when it went into and then suddenly pulled out of Afghanistan. Whatever be the justification, America by its acts of friendship and enmity has devastated Afghanistan and fed the Afghan people to beasts. Friendship with America is impossible for friendship can exist only amongst equals and America never wants anyone equal to it. That is why American leaders themselves like to say, 'America does

Learning about voting from Joseph Stalin

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." ~ Plato Contrary to public perception, successful politicians have to be incredibly hardworking. What they may be working hard on is another matter. Politics like war is a messy, ugly affair. Inspite of that, the public and the media draw a lot of entertainment from politics. It is certain that, one can always trust the political establishment with the help of t

They all spy, but China, it will ...

To advance their own cause and to protect their interests, leaders and managers of every organisation need prompt and accurate information on what is happening both within and outside their organisations. A lot of information is in the public domain and openly available, and a lot of it has to be sourced clandestinely, this is called spying. To know plans and intent of those being spied upon, one has to sift through both information and disinformation. To glean facts out of t

It is not what it seems like

We now live in a society of organisations and institutions. Local, district, state, national and at international level. Each one of them managed by 'professionals' (bureaucrats) following complicated processes which no one can completely understand or implement. They are all political creatures, and therefore possess all of the negatives of politics. We humans and even nations believe that things will just happen by themselves, but they never do.

What is this American led, 'Global Order'?

World War II dramatically changed the then existing world order. Based on three fundamental pillars of democracy, free trade and capitalism, America the only great power that survived the war with its economy and market intact became the de facto world leader of the non communist world. American leadership established this new world order at The Bretton Woods Conference, 1944. This 'order' based on a number or global institutions ensured under the Marshall plan the rebuilding

The Great Game - Why Britain partitioned India?

Rich in every aspect, India is a land that has always been coveted by every power and wealth hungry empire and despot. Empires came and went plundering what they could, but it was the wily British who institutionalised empire for exploitation. It was the 'Jewel in the crown' of the British Empire, and every effort was made to retain, expand its hold on India. The Great Game nowadays means something else today, but beginning in 1830 it was the rivalry between Russia and the B

Foreign companies want to move their manufacturing plants out of China, but ....

China's deteriorating relationship with the world has crossed the point of no return. The CCP cannot change its model without self destructing. So it will collapse but it will take down the Chinese people, society and economy with it. One country's problems are another's opportunities. In 1992, the visionary leadership of Deng Xiaoping the Chinese government decided to attract foreign investment to China by offering significant incentives to foreign investors, including the

Meaning of Developed, Developing and Underdeveloped.

We often hear the terms 'developed countries', 'developing countries' and 'underdeveloped countries'. It has nothing to do with progress or backwardness. It simply means industrially developed or under developed. Why is this significant? Futurist Alvin Toffler in his seminal book 'The Third Wave' proposes how humankind developed and evolved in waves from early nomadic people, till today. Ever wondered why some societies were rich and powerful and now not so? In the earliest
