What the war in Ukraine has taught us.
I'm not writing simply because I chose to write and discuss issues arising in the Ukrainian and the Russian war but to tell us about the unfortunate events that has continually kept on unfolding in case of all those that are ever will to understand the fullness of the dimension such unwarranted war is taking.
Before now, records has it that the Russian world power got irritated at the attempt made by their closest door neighbours, the Ukraine in becoming part of the North American Treaty Organization otherwise called NATO which undoubtedly and based on the statistics we have in hands appears to look like a direct security breach and threat to the Russian super power given that they had suffered a similar fate before immediately after the second world war when they were forced to divide as the former USSR thereby giving autonomy to smaller nations in the defunct strong USSR states that indeed destroyed and reduced their collective powers to a mere crushable power and such moves as we all know about it is still an irritated aspects of the Russians who doesn't seem to trust the West even for a bit for the roles they played in ensuring they divided and then managed to break into them and got them as part of their territories.
More so, is the Warsaw PACT that was signed between the then strong federating states of the USSR which allows a division to be carried and also that ensured that none of the dividing states from the East was to be made part of the NATO no matter the circumstances but alas, that agreement was not obeyed as the Russians felt so much betrayed by the West whom they accused of not obeying and fulfilling their own aspects of the PACT that was signed back them by allowing series of the Eastern states who were originally of the defunct USSR to become part of NATO given the strong backing of history and the roles all the past American presidents like president Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barak Obama, Donald Trump and finally, Joe biden played in enrolling some of the former federating states of the defunct USSR as part of the NATO movement which is in a direct negation to the Warsaw pact that was signed after the second world war (world war II) had ended.
What is to be learnt there? Distrust and the inability to keep to agreement between nations of the world isn't it? Well, whatever be the answer, that is exactly what it is and that's one of the reasons why the war in Ukraine is rather taking a different dimension all together from what we had expected to see by now.
The sanctions against Russia, not a permanent one - President Joe biden of America.
When the Russians were warned against a possible sanctions by the other super powers like America, the great Britain, and of course, the French, everyone had taught of an imminent end to the war as what was being expected from the Russians was an immediate cease fire due to such hefty sanctions that were meant to affect their airspace, their water ways, their export and importation of valid goods and services like their crude oil which would have had a major adverse effect on their economy as much as a direct engagement with them in other forms like sports and many more.
All eyes were opened to see a different dimension to the war that probably should have been enough to put a stop in the war in Ukraine but I'm very shocked to see and read from the daily tabloids that the Russians are waxing ever stronger than before and that such sanctions do not even have any major impact on them which raises the big question as regards why are the Russians ever stronger and quite defiant to such warnings and sanctions placed on them by other super nations of the world when it should have retrieved back its soldiers which will surely put an end to the war?
The answer is a yet to be answered one based on my own observation.
Then also is the statement released from the White House by Mr Joe biden, the American president that the Russians were not under any permanent sanction is a clear indication that just maybe, the so called super powers and sanctioning key members of the NATO and the UN, are all lying to us and have suddenly and sadly swept the truth under the carpet away from everyone's watchful eyes.
Could they(the super powers) be hiding something from us which they feel the entire world should not know anything about?
Or, is the was in Ukraine a way to show how good they can match standards in terms of help on paper rather than in the reality of the truth on ground?
Well, it's unfortunate that politics has suddenly found its way into the normal polity of life as we can see in the case of the American and other super powers but despite all that, I think it's just about time we begin to give a negative approach to the lies we are told and the believe that our dear lives lies solely in the hands of these so called world powers given the fact that what they promise are only meant to look good on papers rather than in the reality of purpose at hand.
I hereby, call on all the international media to stand up in their duty call in addressing these issues head on using their well but upon constructive criticisms of all anormalities rather than succumbing to their orders and joining hands with them in reducing our powers of criticism to that of a helpless toothless dog who knows nothing order than to bark while the thieves break in and steal from its master under its watchful eyes.
What can you make of my argument here?
