Debunk Myth – Might is Right

Debunk Myth

Might is Right

Padmini Arhant

Whenever the presumptuous claim to be mighty and feisty terrorizing those regarded weak, feeble and fragile, taking their individual rights and life for granted extended over generations with the bellicose rhetoric and belligerence in political tone were all invariably defeated on their terms and strategy backfiring at them.

The world has witnessed and experienced many battles in the past, present and may be future that could not be ruled out given complexity of human nature driven by greed, predator instincts and lack of control over will to exert dominance and Supremacy.

In twentieth century – the rise of Hitler from Germany to conquer the world quelled by the combined forces resistance primarily the United States and Russia playing significant role at the critical moment that could have otherwise changed the global political landscape back then and reflected differently now.

Not to mention, the end of second world war also triggered the nuclear age with United States and Russia setting the premise and remain the contemporary nuclear behemoths followed by the rest of nuclear powers Britain,  Israel, France, besides China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea amongst identified and declared states thus far.

Israel has denied the obvious nuclear status – a rough estimate around 400 nuclear warheads until now.

The nuclear installation center named after the former Israeli Prime Minister and then became President of Israel Shimon Peres Nuclear Research Center and installation site in Negev desert near Dimona city is in plain sight.

Although, Israel has not admitted and remain a non-member of Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty having deployed nuclear laden missiles and air strikes in all of Israel’s regular aggression against nations near and far, the facts are in the track record of the State of Israel.

In the 1960’s – the western hysteria over Communism arising from then Soviet Union viz. Russia as the USSR – Union of Soviet and Socialist Republic extending power and control over eastern Europe including then East Germany and spread across Central Asia beginning with invasion of Afghanistan across the border and neighboring states in the region was contentious on one side.

Similarly, the rise of Communism in China by then Chinese Communist icon and leader Chairman Mao Zedong, also known as Chairman Mao had influence in South East Asia.

The same is applicable to the political system defined democratic in India that has political faction to date that are Communist in political platform. They are often coalition partners of the left leaning political parties until now.

The United States war against North Vietnam lasting two decades 1955 – 1975, the United States then was a nuclear nation together with allies like Australia joining the battle field under the banner – “All the way with LBJ” – then democrat President Lyndon B. Johnson.

The Vietnam war though commenced under a Republican President Dwight Eisenhower in 1955 could have been brought to an end by democrat successors like Presidents JFK and LBJ upon election to office.

The JFK Presidency was cut short with assassination involving adversaries in the western circle not barring those displeased with then U.S. President publicly denouncing two controversial issues.

The secret society from Europe viz. Netherlands influencing United States and western nations until now, whom then President JFK appropriately condemned as “repugnant.”

The other being Israel discreetly becoming the nuclear state without any requirement for international oversight as demanded by Israel and United States under every administration as well as western allies against Iran’s potential nuclear status until now.

Iran has allowed UNSC authorized IAEA – International Atomic Energy Agency, UN Nuclear energy inspection agency to inspect and visit the nuclear sites throughout until now.

The successor to JFK, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson as a democrat propelled the Vietnam war towards a new dimension where the U.S. military used chemical weapons Napalm – known as the highly flammable incendiary weapon against civilian population not even sparing children literally running for their lives in the streets of Saigon and North Vietnamese villages that erupted in massive anti-war protests in the United States.

The outcome – the non-nuclear North Vietnam emerged victorious over the nuclear United States together with western allies ending the devastating Vietnam war in 1975.  

In 2009 – 2016 – the Barack Obama Presidency enticed Vietnam to go nuclear that were opted out by Vietnam. 

Fast forward – In 21st Century.

Afghanistan war in 2001 – 2022. 

The nuclear United States and NATO invasion, occupation and colonization lasting two decades ended with United States evacuation of forces in 2022. 

The same would apply to the former Soviet Union of Russian invasion of Afghanistan, forced to leave Afghanistan with United States, Pakistan and Taliban then referred to as the mujahideen operation against Russian occupation in the 20th Century.

Again the former USSR – Soviet Union was a mighty nuclear state then occupying Afghanistan.  

In 2003 – the heavily criticized Iraq war under false pretext claiming then Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had chemical weapons. The stockpile that was originally delivered by United States to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein during the eight-year old warfare against Iran.

There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq found per United States conducted direct raid and search prior to illegal invasion of Iraq. 

Nonetheless, in 2003 the Bush – Cheney administration launched Iraq war to promote and execute Project for New American Century (PNAC) against Iraq, one amongst several nations in the oil rich Middle East nations and North Africa with Israel aiming to be important beneficiary. 

In Iraq war, like Vietnam the United States together with NATO bombing used uranium on civilian population in Fallujah affecting women and children born with severe deformities and congenital effects until now. 

The outcome Iraq war 2003 – 2016 – the Nuclear United States and NATO combined were defeated by Iraq. 

In the 21st Century – the Ukraine – Russia war has its findings on the ground with no settlement. Yet the powerful nuclear side Russia is still at war against non-nuclear Ukraine.

Likewise – The nuclear State Israel’s war against non-nuclear neighbors in the region beginning with Gaza on whom Israel has used white phosphorous ignoring international condemnation, and brute artillery shelling against the rest of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, skirmishes with Iraq…were all proven futile with Israel bleeding United States taxpayers funded warfare producing liability in loss of lives and American tax dollars in U.S. aid to Israel since Israel’s inception until now. 

Finally, in the Indian sub-continent,

The clashes and confrontations between two nuclear nations – India and Pakistan with India adopting extreme hawkish strategy in the preemptive provocations not barring nuclear threats from the Indian political leadership in New Delhi delivered a serious blow to India in the latest New Delhi intervention against Pakistan in May 2025.

Pakistan outclassed India in the latter air attacks and sky war containing the war from protraction and serious ramifications in May 2025.

Pakistan’s effective air response to New Delhi politics’ constant reminder to Pakistan population on uninhibited use of nuclear status cited in political campaign speeches – that “India’s nuclear weapons are not to be mistaken as mere Diwali fire crackers” flexing political might dismantled by Pakistan in May 2025 exhibit. 

In conclusion – Might is not always or ever right and the only force that is ever powerful is the one and only Almighty God overseeing events and developments without time or spacial limits.

The weak and vulnerable have the indomitable force in rescue and defense through divine interventions since time immemorial and to continue infinity and beyond.

Ukraine – Russia Peace Plan

Ukraine – Russia Peace Plan

Padmini Arhant

 

The peace talks and negotiations to bring any conflict to an end would be credible upon participation of nations at war without any reservations and prejudice against any of the warring factions.

Any exclusion of the nation viz. Ukraine having been the victim with tremendous loss of lives and destruction in the three-year-old warfare that should have never begun in the first place is the bone of contention.

The previous democrat administration obviously not run by the former President Joe Biden, in accordance with predecessor Barack Obama and surrogates assessment.

Their public description of the Biden Presidency being weak and frail lacking in energy to stand still for barely 30 minutes exacerbated by cognitive decline and so on…since the start of the Presidential term in 2021 and the deterioration thereafter was cited as justification in the abrupt removal i.e. internal democrat coup against Biden Presidency in July 2024.

The same would apply to the present administration including the Vice President JD Vance, having criticized the former opponent Joe Biden Presidency as physically and mentally incapacitated from the start quoting then President Biden’s inability to function and handle the daunting tasks and challenges of the office of Presidency.

All these critics of Joe Biden Presidency from within the democrat party i.e. the Obamas and contingency in politics and media, alongside the current Republican White House having shared their comments alike throughout 2021 – 2024 and expressively on the campaign trail,

The 180 degrees turnaround from the former democrat and present Republican executive branch members referencing the previous Joe Biden Presidency, (though meant only for optics) as the decision maker executing critical actions proven counterproductive such as in the Ukraine – Russia war is self-contradictory to the critics.

Besides, the questionable position inarguably raise credibility factor on their flip flop about Biden Presidency.

Make up your mind. Barack Obama hand picked Vice President Joe Biden in the two term disastrous Barack Obama Presidency 2009 – 2016, subsequently installed in heavily contested controversial 2020 Presidential election to serve as the proxy for Barack Obama in 2021 – 2024 was one of the following.

Joe Biden Presidency in 2021 – 2024 was visibly and demonstrably fragile, lacking in physical and mental stamina to conduct the duties and responsibilities as the President, which in fact, is true of the actual Joe Biden. 

Alternatively,

Joe Biden Presidency was resolute and sharp in decision-making with undeterred control in running affairs from the White House without the need for Barack Obama with Hollywood aid to sideline the sitting President suggesting physical and mental disabilities to ouster the President in the re-election bid.

It cannot be both for that would only make the proponents of such predicament experts in flawed fabrication and mendacious politics. 

It further encapsulates the well-known status on earlier administration unequivocally run by the Obamas and proxies who exposed themselves with the overt coup against own party incumbency in July 2024.

Here is the paradox for the 2014 Barack Obama Presidency and then State Department, though the Secretary of State John Kerry was the appointee in the second term 2012 – 2016.

It was still under the earlier Secretary of State Hillary Clinton run through foreign government interventionists like the democrat Victoria Nuland in the State Department, the wife of  Robert Keagan, the Republican, who in return was known for democracy destabilization wherever possible under Bush-Cheney administration. 

Regardless, none were ever subject to any scrutiny nor any investigation for their extensive involvements offshore wreaking havoc and political instability in various foreign destinations.

The democrat party and bipartisan Congress considered the inquiry and probe on them not necessary unlike the days and months expending taxpayer money wasted in hearings on gender orientation and individual matrimony.

In contrast, the Barack Obama Presidency and democrat obsession with indictments, impeachment proceedings and litigations against the Trump Presidency, Trump 2016 Presidential campaign and Trump’s first term administration members until now are routine at taxpayers’ expense. 

In 2021 – 2024, the Barack Obama run Biden administration elevated Victoria Nuland to even more prominent critical role to expand operations offshore for further chaos and mayhem than the ones in 2009 – 2016. 

Victoria Nuland, among other key participants was responsible for Ukraine’s political unrest in Maidan Square, Kiev in 2014. 

The former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the ex-President Barack Obama projecting their anchored anti-Putin sentiments to date were not in Moscow during 2009 – 2016 orchestrating political turmoil or overthrowing Russian President Putin’s government amid slander and sensational opinions from both of them against Russia and Russian President Putin in particular.

They were conducting these anti-democratic activities with EU against the supposedly ally Ukraine on Ukrainian soil. 

To the contrary, on Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton oversight and management of foreign affairs, the Hillary Clinton 2016 Presidential campaign was directly involved in the political  scandal – the Russian Dossier saga that was found to be associated to eliminate then Republican Presidential contender Donald Trump in 2016.

Hillary Clinton Presidential campaign was using Russian alliance to dislodge Donald Trump’s 2016 Presidential campaign revealed in the exposé.

Consequentially, the so-called Russian collusion stigma linked to then Presidential candidate Donald Trump proved a hoax shedding light on the actual entity in that regard – Hillary Clinton and her Presidential campaign with Barack Obama promoting the same. 

Yet another Senior member contacts and dealings with Russian political establishment was the Barack Obama’s Vic President Joe Biden.

The democrat Vice President Joe Biden corruption scandals among several of them, were the one with then Moscow’s Mayor and wife – the Russian couple backend financial dealings with then VP Joe Biden under Barack Obama Presidency that came to light in 2020 Presidential election and swiftly swept under the rug with media collusion. 

In view of all these accounts under Barack Obama Presidency in 2009 – 2016, the top political members starting with the Presidency of Barack Obama, the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden other than Victoria Nuland and assortment individuals, were all connected to Russia and Russian political circle for exclusive personal interests while carrying on anti-Russian rancor in public.

Relevantly, the Barack Obama Presidency and Hillary Clinton in the administration targeted the so-called ally Ukraine in the violent overthrow of the democratically elected Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and entire cabinet literally at gun point in world view on camera in 2014.

Not Russia at any point in time even though the democrat anti-Russian stance echoed on media and political sparring for spectacle. 

Similarly, the Barack Obama Presidency was fixated on coup against the Syrian President Bashar Al Assad in the failed so-called Arab Spring in 2011 – 2016.

Nonetheless, upon assuming official power via proxy Biden administration in 2021 – 2024, Barack Obama and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu directed political upheaval using al Qaeda terror outfit terminated Syrian President Bashar Al Assad rule with terror organization in control of Syria.

The move against Syrian population handing governance to al Qaeda in Syria in December 2024 was a parting gift to the incoming Donald Trump administration, upon Barack Obama losing 2024 Presidential election via puppet candidate Kamala Harris.

Politics might circumvent and maneuver on issues and global affairs that were directly under their ambit. Their actions confirm the facts on the ground that could neither be subverted nor denied. 

The latest rerun by the Vice President Vance on Biden policy in Ukraine – Russia as belligerent with the simultaneous observation maintained throughout Joe Biden Presidency as physically and mentally debilitated from the beginning leading to the coup in 2024 is political spin to suit own narratives befitting the situation.

As for the Ukraine – Russia war, it is no secret that territorial annexations are prompted by hegemonic goals by any imperial power in the past and contemporary age.

Russia, previously as the head of the former Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR) harboring restoration of the status with Ukraine or any other former states in Eastern and Central Europe not barring Central Asia would be reverting to past century. The futile efforts notably realized in the incursions in the present century.

Such aspirations are neither practical nor viable especially in the aftermath of full-fledged warfare not only with Ukraine but also other neighbors viz. Georgia and similar states that were under former Soviet Union.

Russia maintaining pre-2014 economic and trade relations with Ukraine and disavow occupation of Ukraine territory would clarify Russian Federation commitment in honoring Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity that Russia has elucidated and voted for other nations like Syria in the UNSC resolutions.

Ukraine on the other hand, seeking peace and security with the permanent guarantee from Russia against invasions and occupation in the immediate or distant future is valid.

The NATO ally Turkey submitting to deploy peacekeeping troops in Ukraine along with Britain and France coming forward in this regard might be a deterrent plan.

However, Moscow evaluating the offer on Kremlin’s angle as NATO presence across the border is to be understood from the standpoint that the three-year-old warfare in 2021 – 2024 was technically fought between Russia and United States and NATO members provided military artillery, logistics support, intelligence and technological aid to Ukraine.

Anyhow and somehow, United States and NATO were effectively engaged in the weapons supply to Ukraine as openly admitted by the current administration during the recent contentious meeting at the White House. The same has been clarified by NATO as well.

Russia’s dilemma with NATO or NATO ally presence in Ukraine could be averted in abandoning territorial occupation of Ukraine.

Instead, Russia pivot to economic divestments facilitating rebuilding of war torn Ukraine towards mutual economic ties such as the one established with Ukraine pre-2014 would be conducive and economically beneficial.

Once Ukraine is able to renew peaceful co-existence barring skirmishes and any ethnic or demographic clashes like the ones in 2014 post United States and EU destabilization in Maidan square in Kiev, the necessity for Ukraine’s NATO membership would no longer be a priority.

At the end of the day, Russia and Ukraine have to mend ties as they are situated next to each other and can’t afford to prolong hostility and aggression regardless of domestic or foreign intervention and influence.

Russia and Ukraine have lot of commonalities that supersedes any differences even though the war inflicted damages and wounds would require own healing process.

The citizens on both sides have suffered enough and unfortunately their dissent on the warfare was muted.

Needless to say, it is the norm in politics unheeding public outcry on deaths and destruction during wars and economic downturns by retaining business as usual in political and economic deals regardless of the strategy resulting in failure.

Russian and Ukrainian leaderships having equal opportunity, respect and fairness in the peace negotiation is important for fruitful outcome.

The Ukraine and Russian population ever remain hopeful in ending the war with a firm commitment exemplified in action from the leaderships of both sovereign independent nations.

Wishing Peace, Stability and Security to Ukraine and Russia.

Global Power – Reality Check

Global Power

Reality Check

Padmini Arhant

Update February 5, 2025.

Gaza Occupation 

President Donald J. Trump at politically embattled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coercion in the latest bilateral meeting to take over foreign land – the Gaza strip that belongs to Palestine is a direct 360 degrees turn around from the inauguration speech to shun U.S. tradition of foreign invasion and occupation.

Gaza and the rest of Palestine are duly and solemnly sovereign land of Palestinians.

The Palestinian statehood has been recognized by overwhelming majority of nations at the United Nations General Assembly besides individual recognition in the western frontiers such as Sweden, Norway, Ireland and Spain in the aftermath of Gaza Genocide. 

The cavalier statement from the white house heeding the politically rocked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, known for prioritizing own political fate amid lingering corruption scandals, war crimes in Gaza, dereliction of duty and responsibility towards own citizens in upending democracy with subjugation of judiciary creating security lapse in own state, endlessly searching for means in political survival is the last straw on the devious strategy.

President Donald Trump’s proposal on Gaza is sacrificing United States defense personnel lives in the Middle East and jeopardizing Presidential credibility in keeping promises made to Arab voters in Michigan and nationwide during campaign and inaugural address in world view.

The one who falls short or reverse from one’s word falls from grace. Thereafter, being led by the impulse and adrenalin instinct rather than reason and rationale. Then accordingly losing trust and respect.

Padmini Arhant 

———————————————————————
The policy, strategy leading to actions and decisions with dire consequences are not necessarily accepted in accordance with reality.

The general practice is to alienate from losses in elections, warfare and economic downturns while hogging glory and credit on anything and everything regardless of zero to minimal input and impact.

Case in point:

The democrat loss in Presidential election 2024 is attributed to scapegoat the one never even considered a living breathing human rather AI machine, failing that, target of trans mania.

Contrarily, the latest preventable tragedy involving the Black Hawk helicopter midair collision with commercial airliner blamed on the female co-pilot initially withholding name and later disclosing upon being questioned is another example among the series of misogyny ad hominem obsession.

Never mind, the incident related to the deranged policy under the guise of DEI, to recruit mentally challenged, psychologically affected and other serious dysfunctional cognitive abilities…in Air Traffic Control.

The egregious choices risking public safety and security highlights the executive nature and mental status behind such policy implemented under two previous democrat administrations.

Notwithstanding, the latter was obvious in the earlier democrat Presidential physical and mental functional capabilities and yet seated in the oval office until wokism prompted coup d’état in July 2024 citing the late recognition of these blatant tell tale signs, that were otherwise visible from the beginning to those with or without 20/20 vision.

Similarly, the endless anti-semitism chorus and Hamas cacophony are rejection of own mirror reflection.

The ones accusing those of anti-semitism are resigned to selective memory, the politics’ serious malady.

“White Tears” ? – Tears are colorless for a good reason by natural creation.

When tears are color coded by politics at the behest of those instigating from behind supposedly post Presidential term, then the Black Supremacy syndrome in such irrational thoughtless comments surface alongside objecting White Supremacy.

Supremacy of any kind is egocentric superficial consolation to satisfy internal inadequacy and deep insecurity. It is best laid to rest irrespective of any type from anywhere.

In that context, the lack of response to the suggestive “black tears” from families of murdered victims viz. Donald Young, the black gay choir conductor at the Trinity United Church, Chicago in 2007, along with two more young gay black members murdered in mob style, 3 murders within 40 days in November – December 2007, and the crime black washed under political immunity should have attracted equal attention.

Not barring, the black young mother, the rape victim Miriam Carey, with a black child in the back seat, summarily executed in public square with the toddler witnessing the horror at the high official occupants’ authorization in 2014 at the White House door step could have been treated with Miriam Carey Act during the black Presidency, rather than dismissal as the victim’s fault and the offenders protected with political sanctuary to date.

Words translated in actions are meaningful and credible.

Relevantly, the Israeli opposition leader Gideon Levy offered coalition on the premise to end Gaza war with permanent ceasefire in January 2024, to the rattled leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu fearing far right backlash on Gaza ceasefire leading to the PM losing power.

The PM Netanyahu declined the offer and peace proposal from then opposition leader Gideon Levy at that time, which in hindsight could have saved innocent lives on both sides, who fell victims to United States and western allies provided weapons cache throughout Gaza genocide.

In the latest development, the President Donald Trump armament sale worth $1 billion to PM Benjamin Netanyahu is a breach of pledge made during inauguration speech on Jan 20, touting the Presidency commitment as a peacemaker and not engage in warfare.

Israel’s war is United States war by proxy.

Besides, the empathy and care shared by the President Donald Trump to the fatally assaulted Laken Riley is deserving as none should be subject to such violence.

At the same time, extending similar concern and compassion to Palestinian children suffering under Israeli occupation and expediting Palestinian statehood ending Israel’s occupation would clarify genuine humanitarianism.

The politically embattled and war torn incumbent Israeli leadership Benjamin Netanyahu is directly responsible for launching Hamas and the establishment of Hamas as alternative political power in Gaza to oust then PLO leadership – Yassar Arafat and loyalists who were more conciliatory to amicable peace treaty.

The trajectory is in semblance to democrat administration creation of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan in the aftermath of former Soviet Union departure.

Subsequently, the Nobel peace prize winning democrat Presidency importing al Qaeda into Libya and Syria in 2011, 2012, thereby producing IS, ISIS and various terror outfits wreaking havoc in the region is a convenient omission of acknowledgment while accusing others of dementia.

As parting gift to the incoming Donald Trump administration, the exiting proxy administration in continuation of 2011-2016 legacy handed al Qaeda offshoot terror group the mantle of power in Syria in 2024 celebrating the democratic achievement.

These events are merely the tip of the iceberg.

No wonder, the wheels of contradictions spin without any pause or cessation abdicating responsibility.

As for my existence, any issues. complaints and misogynists rancor may be directly submitted to none other than the one and only, who is all knowing and all seeing Almighty God.

Not used to expressing gratitude, only plenty of attitude and platitude. No problem.

Hiding behind hypocrisy only reveal the irrefutable reality – the decadent political culture.

Afghanistan siege prolonged with Talibanization forcing native Afghans and foreign occupants to flee the nation.

Could this by any definition – Mission Accomplished in accordance with then crafted Project for New American Century (PNAC) built-in with 9/11 terror attack followed by decimation of nations in symmetry?

Afghanistan – Troop Surge Repeat Failed Strategy

August 22, 2017

Afghanistan – Troop Surge Repeat Failed Strategy

By Padmini Arhant

 

The latest decision to increase troops in Afghanistan is repeat failed strategy with same expectation. The proposal to defeat terrorism is exactly the same since invasion of the country in 2001. United States military leaderships and White House stating the reason for troop expansion around this time as targeting terrorism shifting focus from nation building is rephrasing strategy.

The main issues – Taliban, al Qaeda, government and Afghan security lacking strength and resources to quell terrorism and last but not the least neighbor Pakistan remaining terror haven are cited as contributing to United States and NATO setbacks thus far.

United States from the beginning had more than 100,000 boots on the ground in addition to NATO contingency until recently to contend with Taliban, al Qaeda and prepare Afghan security forces to combat terrorism and insurgency. Now in the national address, the position is referred to as dealing with terrorism in Afghanistan is the only focus for United States.

Accordingly, the stagnancy poses many questions.

What did United States and NATO exactly do in the past 16 years in Afghanistan?

How come the largest 100,000 troops presence along with NATO alliance could not contain Taliban insurgency comparatively less at that time and al Qaeda redeployed in Libya, Syria and Iraq from 2011 until today?

What is different now that was not possible despite expansive operation in Afghanistan for over decade and a half unanimously acknowledged a failure?

The current situation stated as Taliban insurgence and al Qaeda are major threats has long been identified as such and the status quo further clarifies the losing war besides economic liability having cost U.S. tax payers $6 trillion in Afghanistan pursuit.

Pentagon quoting Taliban and al Qaeda as factors for troop surge. Taliban in return asserting insurgency as resistance to United States occupation. The inverse status is a vicious circle.

Afghanistan has experienced numerous foreign occupation in Afghan history. None could prevail in their aspirations forcing foreign powers exit from the terrain country. There will be no exception in this regard due to aggression and violent means for vested interests never succeed especially in the uniquely complex Afghan nation.

The foreign incursion in Afghanistan is attributed to relentless violence and political instability. Additionally, poppy cultivation funding arms purchase for war lords, terror factions and Taliban not without foreign occupiers sharing profit exacerbates security and conditions for Afghan farmers lured into narcotic trade over agriculture.

Politically, Afghan government installed rather than elected barring assassinations of viable candidates not surprisingly in agreement to foreign agenda highlight corruption – yet another serious problem obstructing reliable and competent governance. Afghanistan election including the Pashtuns tribal assembly – loya Jirga intercepted by foreign influence as witnessed in 2011 to steer representation favoring foreign permanent existence in the country.

American security claimed in the late night bid for troop surge ignores American lives in uniforms lost in the long embroiled battle seeing no end in sight. Not to mention scores of innocent civilian lives in Afghanistan falling prey to all sides more so with cluster bombs and U.S. defense capability tested on Afghan soil during all administrations, predator drones chasing Afghan men, women and children from their humble dwellings in the so-called attempt to drain the swamp rampant with previous administration.

The trajectory clearly confirms the challenges and constant impediments brought upon by foreign occupation whether by troops, private army and contractors, intelligence agents imposing military authority and political clout denying Afghanistan – sovereignty and political freedom.

No matter how the circumstances are maneuvered to extend occupation in Afghanistan, no nation can eternally depend on foreign powers to protect them for that arrangement exposes the host nations’ vulnerability and absence of will to safeguard own citizens and territory.

In outsourcing tasks to foreign military not necessarily accepting for client state defense instead focused on economic endowments such as lithium, plentiful minerals and precious metals in Afghanistan failing that to establish strategic dominance in the region unveils the veneer behind open end policy in Afghanistan.

Evidently, neither the people in Afghanistan nor United States are beneficiaries in the protracted warfare. The population in both nations are expending lives and U.S. taxpayers footing extraordinary bill for timeless military engagement while Afghan citizens deprived of long overdue economic opportunity.

As for neighbor Pakistan, the stigma as terror haven will stick as long as Pakistan’s relevant institutions and political groups neglect responsibility to purge terror wreaking havoc across the borders and rocking every city and province making life impossible for citizens in Pakistan as well as those around in South Asia. Again, arms dealers involved in arming terror networks, defense contractors and brokers are instrumental in bolstering terror anywhere.

United States and NATO complete withdrawal of forces not excluding private entities in any capacity responsible for embattled Afghanistan and not troop buildup that would guarantee Afghanistan peace and stability.

The popular consensus in Afghanistan and United States is for U.S and NATO as well as foreign operatives to return home. United States having reached a crescendo unable to provide credible explanations in prolonging undertaking proved counterproductive and unsustainable.

Afghanistan rising to the occasion and demonstrating commitment to resolve internal conflicts would exemplify Afghanistan’s independent statehood. In eliminating or at best mitigating the two contentious issues –corruption and terrorism would charter course for effective governance and strong national security thwarting terror and insurgence from within and outside the country.

I convey my best wishes to people in Afghanistan for peace, economic progress and independence free of foreign intrusion and domestic tribulations.

Thank you.

Afghanistan – Sovereignty on Sale in BSA with United States

December 1, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The Loya Jirga approval of bilateral security agreement with United States including provisions granting immunity to foreign personnel on crimes against Afghan citizens is essentially sovereignty sale for a price paid towards members support prolonging occupation in Afghanistan.

Furthermore, invitation to those individuals favoring BSA and barring the rest opposed to the treaty in Loya Jirga voting process is anything but democratic defining the principles and direction the country will be led under foreign subjugation.

United States pressure on Afghan leaderships to seal the deal despite overwhelming public protests to foreign troops presence in Afghan soil and continuous drone attacks preying on children, women and men verify status quo extension upon Afghan Parliament consensus on the controversial pact. 

The illegal invasion of Afghanistan has fomented violence, proliferated narcotic production and legitimized widespread corruption denying the war torn nation stability and consequently economic and social development.

When external powers rule sovereign country imposing laws in direct violation of human rights and national constitution, the identity is lost with no recognition for native population self-determination prerogatives and territorial integrity.

The thirteen years military aggression in Afghanistan produce massive casualties on all sides, economic liabilities for both aggressors and victim nation and persistent insurgency in resistance to foreign intervention.

Afghanistan security cannot be established through imperial dominance responsible for turmoil with no desire to promote peace.

The real beneficiaries in the thirteen years quagmire are those dependent on arms and drugs profits at the local and global citizens expense knowing well that these activities claim innocent lives and target vulnerable segments depriving them of existence and life with dignity.

Afghanistan proceeding with BSA is surrender of national independence allowing occupiers to deplete natural resources and wealth shared among the self-proclaimed privileged members showing no remorse for death and destruction since military operation onset.

Besides, any nation’s authorities ignoring republic will at imperial powers behest could not be representative of the people and swearing allegiance to foreign usurpation confirm treasonous act committed with impunity.

The irony in this issue is Afghans fleeing their homeland due to foreign forces atrocities ranging from shooting rampage to rape, torture and unlawful detentions during night raids and relentless drone assaults are declined even temporary refuge on arrival in any of the invaders shores witnessed in Australian policy towards oppressed asylum seekers while the foreign powers and coalition assert authoritarianism insisting on militarization of the embattled state. 

Afghanistan has choices to reject prevalent conditions and free the nation from colonization.  Afghan youth and remaining society could come forward and assume control over their destiny rather than leaving the decisions to entities least concerned about Afghan lives and livelihood compromised in the contentious accord.

National freedom and personal liberty are non-negotiable and more than decade old warfare has undermined Afghan sovereignty with drones, warrantless searches of Afghan homes, prison camps without legal recourse and last but not the least declaring Afghanistan as a failed state incapable of self-governance.

Afghanistan has unique opportunity to demonstrate resilience and potential required for nation building possible with patriotism and solidarity.

Afghan history is testimony to the fact that imperialism unrealistic goals and pursuits evidently counterproductive resulting in empires collapse.

The true benefactor would exit Afghanistan in 2014 heeding to domestic call for complete withdrawal and pledge to repair and restoration costs incurred in the aftermath of foreign interference that could lead to long overdue economic progress. 

Best Wishes to Afghan citizens in the achievement of peace and fair political representation dedicated to national defense, equality and prosperity.

Peace to Afghanistan!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Afghanistan – Bilateral Security Agreement with United States is Renouncing Sovereignty

November 20, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

United States troops withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2014 is negotiated through bilateral security agreement (BSA) for extension beyond scheduled date.

The pact includes controversial provisions such as grand immunity to foreign forces on crimes against Afghan citizens and nightly raids of Afghan homes without warning and warrants involving rape, killings and unprecedented violence towards Afghan people.

United States, NATO and foreign alliance illegal invasion and occupation of Afghanistan using 9/11 as pretext while sparing Israel and Saudi Arabia behind September 11 attack with then U.S. administration and intelligence committee complicity evidently a major political and military debacle  having learned nothing from previous experience.

Afghanistan war into thirteenth year since military intervention in October 2001 claimed thousands of innocent lives in that country and neighboring Pakistan as well as armed  personnel especially United States and Britain sustaining heavy losses and yet all casualties dismissed as collateral damages in the imperialistic quest unheeding ground reality.

The so-called war on terror evolving into terrorizing Afghan children, women and men regardless of age with drone attacks, intrusion conducting searches in Afghan houses at odd hours, detention of young Afghans in Bagram prison and centers run by western allies – Britain, Germany and Australia has reached a crescendo in foreign aggression prompting Taliban retaliation both ignoring civilian deaths in the war ravaged nation.

United States, Britain and coalition defense force misconduct ranging from shooting spree of Afghan population, burning holy Quran to desecration of deceased Afghans not regarded as crimes in the security arrangement despite the incidents constituting violation of national and international laws not barring human rights abuse in the typical civilized world.

On the economic front, the imperial powers tradition to destroy culture and social fabric maintained with poppy cultivation leaving nearly 1.5 million citizens addicted to drugs and those promoting narcotic trade profiteering from Afghan and rest of the world destruction due to contraband distribution in open and black markets ruining more lives to benefit self-proclaimed privileged members parasitic existence.

Afghanistan denied of economic growth also corrupted with foreign occupiers bribery to stifle nation building and accordingly declared a failed state lacking potential for self-governance justifying subjugation under colonial entity.

Reiterating the fact on corruption causing human suffering worldwide, the foreign political apparatus subservient to oligarchy and imperial era remnants care less about citizens anywhere whether domestic or abroad enforcing agenda prolonging status quo.

Afghan Loya Jirga representing tribal and rural community along with Parliamentary members entrusted with responsibility to cast votes on citizens behalf in accepting or rejecting deal with United States have unique opportunity to demonstrate national loyalty in declining monetary incentives from foreign and local authorities engaged in swaying decisions to Afghanistan detriment.

The elders from Loya Jirga and people representatives in Parliament are at crossroads to make political history honoring public opinion on BSA i.e. overwhelmingly in opposition to foreign presence on Afghan soil.

They bear collective responsibility in arriving at consensus that could liberate Afghanistan from imperial dominance and end foreign extension bringing relief to Afghans in the endurance of unlawful drone assaults and nightmare attributed to midnight ransacking of Afghan humble dwellings carried out with no regrets or remorse.

As for Taliban containment, United States and NATO sponsored terrorism in Libya, Iraq, Mali and now Syria hiring al-Qaeda and affiliates not excluding Taliban as allies ironically are adversaries in Afghanistan to perpetuate militarization of the nation.

Imperialism ascension and expansion in Afghanistan resulted in empires collapse providing valuable lessons on greed motivated violence with inevitable impact on the source.

Besides, wasting tax dollars in trillions on Afghanistan and Iraq wars arguably counterproductive considering ill consequences on the western and global economy.

The only beneficiaries could perhaps be drone manufacturers and investors seeking perennial harvest from heroin production discarding self-deterioration in the illusive pursuit for geopolitical monopoly.

Afghanistan government and heads of tribal groups rising to the occasion in recognition of Afghan will on BSA calling for unconditional and complete removal of all foreign deployment is the only alternative to reclaim Afghanistan freedom.

The concessions in this regard consenting to imperialistic aspirations would mean surrender of sovereignty and sacrificing Afghan future with irreversible outcome.

Hence, Afghan youths and others in civil society persistence to free Afghanistan could be exemplified in reminding Loya Jirga leaders and Parliament members not to compromise on Afghanistan territorial integrity and national identity in the critical decision making process.

Nations have choices for resistance or retention of vassal statehood subscribing to foreign feudalism.

Choosing former option would be restoring personal and national independence.

Contrarily, the latter is submission of destiny to authoritarianism.

Hopefully wisdom and patriotism would guide Afghanistan in the establishment of peace, stability and justice necessary for pervasive prosperity.

Best Wishes to Afghan citizens in republic empowerment.

Peace to Afghanistan!

Peace to all!

Thank you

Afghanistan – Ending Foreign Occupation is the Passage to Peace and Real Freedom

October 14, 2013

By Padmini Arhant 

The immemorial false flag 9/11 event in the United States to implement Project for New American Century targeting nations including regime change agenda on non-cooperative governments commenced with illegal invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001.

United States and NATO aggression against Afghanistan into thirteenth year has claimed scores of lives on all sides especially Afghan population killed on the ground through U.S. and International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) night raids and aerial drone attacks as well as the prolonged occupation fomented militancy using locals in resistance to foreign troops presence.

On the economic standpoint, the 13 years warfare has cost U.S. and allies taxpayers in trillions leaving them with mounting debt and western governments flair for austerity directed at citizens lifeline programs and services offset stimulus via consumer spending stunting required growth.

Meanwhile, the western nations defense budget and funding towards wars ever increasing, there is no inclination for complete withdrawal facilitating arms and finance industry profiteering from incessant turmoil.

Afghanistan on the other hand continues to suffer in terms of economic, political and social progress with corruption and violence disrupting stability necessary to overcome various challenges confronting the war torn nation. 

Western involvement in Afghanistan maintaining poppy production accelerated weapons trade and distribution to factions perpetuating combat situation used in justifying the requirement for permanent military base undermining national sovereignty.

As for western training of Afghan national army and other contingencies – the futile exercise apparently causing major rift between domestic and foreign brigades evident in American as well as British soldiers shooting rampage responded with Afghani member attack on U.S and NATO convoy escalating tension in the war fatigued country. 

Furthermore, United States engagement with Taliban and al-Qaeda in the region is rather paradoxical since they are declared enemies in Afghanistan and allies in Syria. 

Pakistan initiated talks between United States and Afghanistan Taliban in Doha, Qatar prompted the militant group to assert the representation as the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan with a separate flag providing the basis for Kabul government and Afghan Peace Council to reject the controversial and unconstitutional disposition.

Afghanistan quagmire emanating from foreign intrusion for geopolitical dominance at the expense of Afghan misery has reached a crescendo. 

The ramifications are not only limited to Afghan victims but also experienced by the aggressors in sustaining economic liabilities and armed forces casualties thus far.

Historically, Britain, the former Soviet Union and subsequently the United States and NATO colonized Afghanistan until now survived the worst conditions demonstrating Afghan resolve to defend territorial integrity.

The external powers destructive course promoting narcotic cultivation and using the territory for ammunition stockpiles experimentation ignoring civilian deaths is the reason behind deterrence to foreign extension of stay beyond 2014.

In the backdrop of devastation and deterioration in U.S. and ISAF troops morale, the atrocities committed with impunity arguably remain the bone of contention in the ongoing discussion on bilateral security agreement (BSA). 

Afghanistan rural elders and tribal leaders in the Loya Jirga and Afghan national assembly along with entire society share responsibility to protect the nation and citizens from foreign abuse expected to evolve into pervasive subjugation upon granting indefinite military deployment regardless of size and intended purpose.

Any nation that allows foreign establishment in political, economic and military affairs against national and republic interest essentially surrender statehood and individual freedom besides the precedence in violation of sovereign duty to safeguard independence.

Afghanistan declining status quo seeking unconditional and comprehensive withdrawal of all foreign entities not barring intelligence agents as overt and covert operatives would decisively set the stage for national reconciliation amongst segments legitimately in opposition to outside usurpation.

Taliban energized from Saudi Arabia funded elements in neighboring Pakistan renouncing terror and fundamentalism with respect for Afghan compatriots and women in particular would exemplify pledge to Afghan liberation currently in the process of submission when national freedom should be non-negotiable upholding the inalienable right of all to be free.

Afghanistan restoring viable governance at all levels nationwide eliminating foreign and regional influence for vested prospects and strategic gains are the cornerstone in the emergence as a formidable state meeting self-sufficiency and reliability in resolving  crises.

The leaders and people in Afghanistan are at crossroads to rescue the nation from chaos and persistent bloodshed affecting the social fabric of the present and future generation.

Afghanistan has unique opportunity to disinherit the identity as a failed state due to western policy premised on supremacy concept despite overwhelming Afghan sentiment expressing persona non grata to such enforcement.

The proof of Afghanistan valor and resilience is available in national legacy having thwarted perennial colonization not to mention the fate of empires viz. Britain and ex-Soviet Union dissipation following the misadventure.

Afghanistan can once again rise to the occasion in solidarity and assume control over national safety and other matter without dependency on powers responsible for economic debilitation and destruction of their land.

Wishing the heroic citizens of Afghanistan safe passage to peace with renewed hope for republic rule.

Peace to Afghanistan!

Peace to all!

Thank you.
