An unforeseen time.

The revolution of the 21st century can be witnessed in an unforeseen time of Pandemic, wars, alarming climate changes, global warming, and so on. Many Asian countries are still in the developing phase and especially the south-east Asian countries are sieging every opportunity to develop. I have been reading many opinion pieces in the newspaper since the Russia-Ukraine war. Ukraine and Russia are responsible for major wheat exports and other commodities. On one hand, it has created an upsurge in the prices of sundry commodities while on the other few of the developing countries of the Asian community can siege and are sieging this opportunity to provide cover for the hampered supply. But, I would not fail to mention that some of the countries who are responsible for exporting a particular commodity around the world are also trying to play the pseudo card to upsurge their price for example the palm oil supply.

The European countries and USA who is continuously trying to persuade the entire world for condemning Russia for its aggressiveness. They are continuously trying to threaten India about its stance at this time. But, what they fail to show the world is their hypocrisy. I read an article a month ago from one of the users here and he mentioned a book that I desperately want to buy but the book costs around $30. To save that much money I exploited the internet to get the book online for free to read but with no luck so far. If you want to know what's so interesting about the book you can read his article here.

The European countries and the USA just underscores their interests and gains at the expense of others. I don't have any grudges against their agenda because every country has to exploit every possible opportunity for the upliftment of their own country and the well-being of their citizens. "The Britton woods systems" (WTO, IMF, and WORLD BANK) which were created back in the 1950s can only be witnessed to underscore the interests of Washington till the early 2000s' when there were actually new developments in their procedures. But, the loss of those years cannot be paid off.

India has been a major importer of Russian arms and shares cultural and historical ties. Diplomacy is created to solve problems peacefully and since its creation, the importance of diplomacy can never be ignored. Now the USA is promising India to provide with sundry defense equipment for maintaining the peace and security in the region but their cut is to implode our historical ties with the Russians indirectly. Now, had their eyes been shut that these sudden ideas strike them off right now in an unforeseen time? When India was signing deals with Russia for the S-400 air defense system, the USA threatened India with their "SANCTIONS CARD" but still India signed the deal and they had realised the strategic importance of India and the important role that India plays in the modern geopolitical era ergo, they issued statements that India's S-400 deal with Russia does not violate any things that they have to sanction India.

It's always their own interest or their misery that they have to think about others. The polling of $100 billion dollars promised by the developing countries for less wealthy nations by 2020 in light of climate change is yet to be delivered in reality. They want that the African countries and Asian countries adopt the green energy on a scale that is at par with theirs, but the point to think about it is that adoption and shifting to a green economy costs way too much for an economy and given the conditions of developing countries, they need to focus on the social welfare schemes. My country is adopting greener technologies very aggressively and it is not required in this way because it comes at a cost that can be diverted to other schemes.

Thank you.
