Moscow Terror Attack

Moscow Terror Attack

Padmini Arhant

The individuals engaged in terrorism do not emerge anywhere without being funded and directed to engage in terrorism.

Often these individuals are exploited by politics to serve as proxy in wars as seen in Syria, Libya, Iraq…in 2011, 2012 and thereafter. They are also deployed in terror attacks and other destructive purpose which is a tragedy for them and importantly terror victims considering innocent people fall prey to such predator politics.

There is no doubt the mayhem created by those in Kyiv in 2014 upending democracy and installing neo-Nazi regime of their choice i.e. the administration in Washington D.C. in 2014  together with EU engaged in violent overthrow of democratic Ukranian government in 2014 is responsible for Ukrain’s status quo then onwards until now in 2024.

The administration in 2014 in Washington D.C. also been behind creation of ISIS, IS and various terror outfits in 2011, 2012 and beyond wreaking havoc in Syria, Libya, Iraq, Lebanon etc., is a case study on terror manufacture.

Poignantly, the October 7 attack in Israel involving victims in a concert replicated in Moscow targeting concert audience generating a copycat pattern is an odd coincidence.

The Gaza Genocide by Israel and coalition in the six-month-old bombing and shelling, and further military aggression planned against population gathered in Rafah by Israel was met with global dissent on military invasion and pressure to end war in Gaza.

Accordingly, the possibility from those desperate to prove anything at whomsoever costs producing a mirror image scenario cannot be ruled out either including the terror attack in Moscow choosing the concert venue.

The masterminds will eventually succumb to their folly and wicked ploy.

Ukraine and Russian war coming to conclusion initiating amicable peace treaty between the two nations resuming normal relations and economic ties is the best outcome.

As mentioned earlier prior to and at the onset of war between Ukraine and Russia in February 2022 and later through video presentations on this website urging both leaderships in Russia and Ukraine not to get entrapped in war that was most likely to get protracted and prolonged through external intervention.

The request was made to both leaderships to prioritize interests of citizens in both nations who also happened to be related as a close and / or extended family in one way or another only yearning for peaceful co-existence.

Unfortunately, the foreign western intrusion repeating episode from 2014 was replayed fueling tension and provocation that led to deaths and devastation suffered by people in Ukraine and Russia.

Meanwhile, those adept at igniting confrontations to jumpstart weapons cache sales to all warring factions regardless of human casualties and immense suffering as usual raked a fortune out of human misery and nations’ decimation.

There were no regard or concern for global consequences in terms of triggering energy crisis from such warfare either.

As result, the fuel price hitting sky high hurting global citizens and consequentially food and other commodities costs also reached beyond ordinary consumer affordability with status quo remaining poor and deteriorating further.

Such inflation could have been averted abandoning the old ways of political interference in foreign destinations that becomes stagnant compromising domestic economy.

Notwithstanding the blowing up of Nordstream gas pipeline admittedly at the behest of the incumbent U.S. administration publicly claimed at the press conference by the U.S. President was anything but helpful.

There are many flagrant violations by those involved in such decisions that are invested in warfare and hostility with little or no effort to defuse and end the progression of violence.

The massive damage on all sides exhausted of means and human drive especially the troops on the ground experiencing war fatigue contribute to aimless extension minimizing opportunity to peace prospects.

The long-drawn-out warfare is a major economic liability due to political mismanagement lacking in reason or rationale as well as exit strategy.

It is never too late to lay the arms and artillery and engage in peaceful respectful dialogue for lasting resolution.

Russia is a mature experienced nation from world war to regional wars fought in different timeline. However, the war with no end in sight serve none not in the least the citizens in civil society nor the military whether national defense force or private army.

Ukraine on the other hand recognizing those who sabotaged Ukraine’s political stability and economic growth in 2014 and misled Ukraine towards the current situation are not the benefactors rather beneficiaries in arms trade with Ukraine and other factions in the embattled war zone.

Ukraine’s direct meeting with Russian leadership for a permanent ceasefire and bi-lateral discourse setting all differences and grievances aside towards a mutually beneficial relation renewing economic and security ties is the viable solution to the Ukraine – Russian crisis.

The people in Ukraine and Russia deserve peaceful normal existence.

Good Luck to Russia and Ukraine!

North Korea and United States Historic Summit

North Korea and United States Historic Summit

Padmini Arhant

Congratulations! To North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un, President Donald Trump and South Korean President Moon-Jae-in on the historic summit and a peaceful beginning that has been long overdue.

North Korea having taken the necessary step in demolition of the nuclear site and subsequent peace developments between North and South Korean leaderships paved the way for the summit in Singapore. President Donald Trump has taken the courageous and pragmatic approach that has been avoided by earlier administrations and gone further in recognizing the real problem i.e. United States military exercises and 32,000 troops deployment which is indeed provocative.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is demonstrating willingness and commitment on denuclearization together with earlier gesture in releasing three American hostages held on espionage. These steps are significant and accordingly merits removing economic sanctions against the people in North Korea allowing the economic opportunities that would not only benefit North and South Korea along with the entire Asian region but also provide trade prospects between United States and North Korea.

The initial measure is the cornerstone for success of the historic summit.

Thank you.

North Korea and United States Peace Summit

Padmini Arhant

The first meeting between the leaderships in North Korea and United States is in progress in Singapore. The engagement in direct dialogue at high levels is the beginning for any positive outcome in relations that has been challenged over decades with unnecessary tensions and confrontational interactions causing anxiety and grave concerns regarding the situation in Korean Peninsula.

North Korea’s initiative for a personal meeting with United States administration that had been requested over a long time is now taking place in Singapore.  United States response to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is a welcoming gesture that could lead to a possible breakthrough in relations undermined with aggressions and economic sanctions until now. The population in Korea having endured tremendous suffering especially the people in North Korea due to sanctions and military activities in the territory deserve peaceful resolution ending the long standing disagreements and transforming the armistice to irreversible peace accord.

The world’s attention is on the ongoing talks that could not be expected to settle all issues in the initial communication. Peace requires patience, perseverance and sincere commitment from all sides that would mean pursuing continuous peaceful involvement.

I look forward to the momentum in maintaining mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity besides equal understanding from all sides that is fundamental to any peaceful agreement. 

I convey my best wishes to the citizens in North and South Korea as well as others in the region for permanent peace and harmony that would guarantee economic progress and development benefitting all. 

P.S. I don’t play basketball though I have nothing against the sport. 

Thank you.

Korean Peace Summit

May 22, 2018

  1. Korean Peace Summit

Padmini Arhant

Peace and Success are hard to achieve without hard work, perseverance and commitment.

War is easy with just a handful’s drumroll and pandemonium creating the environment of fear, skepticism and failures that are inevitable upon anyone pursuing the course with the intent to undermine positive outcome.

Peace process on Korean affair requires preparedness to listen, understand and accommodate each others genuine concerns and reasonable requests for a fair exchange. Anytime the side exerting military and economic pressure on the other side through provocative drills and excruciating sanctions place preemptive demands in the absence of any concessions on their part, such negotiations are not going to succeed considering the imbalance and excessive expectations for political and strategic gains. 

United States has a tough role in building trust given recent and past defaults on peace accord and promises that are never kept or slighted to appease certain influential forces agenda. As a result, trusting United States with a legacy violating US end of the bargain is challenging for all involved to make peace. 

That doesn’t mean Untied States is not capable to resolve crisis. As a matter of fact barring political speculations and expediency as well as vested interests that often dominate high level meetings and discourse, the focus on common goals benefiting all sides would be the gateway to peace deal. 

At this point in time, transformation of existing Korean armistice to irrevocable peace treaty is paramount. The simultaneous termination of North Korean nuclear testing and United States military exercise are critical to enforce the peace accord. One cannot insist the other side quit engagement without another ceasing the activity as they are interlinked with North Korea reacting to United States and South Korea’s military rehearsal at DPRK’s border. Again without a shadow of doubt, United States military training over decades deploying latest military hardware, technology and nuclear capabilities including over 30,000 troops in Korean Peninsula are legitimate reasons behind security threat to DPRK that prompted North Korea ‘s nuclear status.

The situation has to change in a transparent manner with US demilitarization and North Korea abandoning nuclear testing allowing both North and South Korea to normalize relations in a peaceful approach using diplomacy and constructive dialogue at all levels of interaction. 

The other factor worth remembering is the U.S. and North Korea peace summit has great potential for economic partnerships between the two nations that is otherwise wasted in indefinite stalemate.

There are two main options in the United States, South and North Korea present state.

One is to retain status quo which means escalation of tension and  regional instability contributing to global volatility that should be prevented via rapprochement. 

The other being demonstrating leadership and courage in ending hostility and begin a new chapter in peaceful settlement of all issues with honesty and integrity. In doing so, the population on both sides of Korea as well as the people in Asia Pacific would have the opportunity to coexist peacefully and experience economic growth and development especially in North Korea that has been denied due to hegemonic ambitions until now.

War offers deaths, destruction and mutual annihilation whereas progress and prosperity accompanies peace.

Making peace is the practical and prudent measure that guarantees better prospects now and in the future. Notwithstanding regional and global peace and security. 

Thank you.

North Korea – Korean Peninsula Peace Treaty

August 10, 2017

North Korea – Korean Peninsula Peace Treaty

By Padmini Arhant

The message is addressed to all parties concerned in the escalating tensions in Korean Peninsula. North Korea, South Korea, Japan and United States.

North Korea statement on possible missile launch near U.S. territory Guam is not favorable to North Korea’s objectives as such strike would unnecessarily trigger response that could lead to greater conflict.

Instead North Korea would be able to achieve goals in maintaining composure paving the way for direct peace talks between Pyongyang and Washington that was desired earlier by North Korea’s former leader Kim Jong Il, father of the current leader Kim Jong Un to derive meaningful solutions to longstanding impasse deserving conclusion.

North Korea’s overture for dialogue rather than missile testing near United States army base in Guam or Japan would far outweigh any skirmishes that are best avoided to protect lives and sovereignty perhaps North Korea’s priority.

North Korea has much to gain in diplomacy and discourse scheduled at earliest convenience with United States following these actions from both sides that are critical to defuse crisis.

  1. The immediate suspension of nuclear testing and any other nuclear activity by North Korea not barring rockets are key to initiate peacekeeping in the region.
  1. Simultaneously United States and South Korea halting military drills and incursion near North Korea would confirm commitment towards peaceful resolution.
  1. Upon all sides in adherence to required protocol, North Korean leadership authorizing civilian representatives for meeting with civilian counterpart in South Korea is vital for a new chapter on Korea.
  1. Setting aside all differences, grievances and concerns, the meeting between North and South Korea focused on renewing diplomatic, cultural, economic and family ties allowing citizens on both sides to meet and greet each other is important to improve bilateral relations.
  1. Subsequently, United States arrangement with North Korea again through civilian delegation for unconditional discussion is imperative to reverse the current trend from combat to conducive exchange.

Once the parties complete talks, the next course would be aimed at solidifying agreements transforming armistice to formal peace treaty.

The contentious issues are – United States base in South Korea, military exercise and nuclear threats against North Korea obviously straining potential peace maneuvers between two neighbors sharing many things that are common having been one nation prior to Korean war.

On the other hand, North Korea preparing for nuclear confrontation with persistent nuclear programs and warnings are unhelpful and counterproductive.

Due to mistrust among all sides for known reasons, the cause and effects identified above would alleviate fears and apprehensions beginning with withdrawal of provocative measures from all parties involved in the dispute.

North Korea pausing nuclear proliferation and diverting resources towards economic growth and development would be prudent strengthening population for a better future. The economic sanctions against North Korea lifted to promote North Korean economy is pertinent providing relief to North Korean citizens having suffered in the political and military stalemate.

North Korean leadership Kim Jong Un and top brass military command paying attention to consequences of preemptive strikes would demonstrate diligence and deliberation eventually paying off for a positive outcome.

Besides, the North Korean leadership and advisers reflecting on previous experience in the twentieth century should serve as guidance to employ restraint and avert conflict at all costs for a nation seeking termination of struggles within winning citizens confidence on survival.

North Korea along with all nuclear states submission without exception to nuclear non-proliferation moving towards disarmament is urgent requirement. The nuclear possession threatening global peace and security is no longer negotiable posing incumbency on major nuclear powers and others to commence dismantling and safe disposal of nuclear arsenal under independent international supervision.

United States Superpower status shifting from military involvement not only in Korean Peninsula but worldwide substituted with peaceful engagement and productive contributions would exemplify trustworthiness and reliable partnership to rest of the world.

The present leaders in respective countries are obligatory to safeguard safety and security of not only their citizens but the entire world unwisely subject to protracted challenges tied to economic interests and strategic dominance.

North and South Korea together with United States conforming to peaceful negotiations for a permanent peace accord is the absolute way forward that guarantee stability and economic progress.

The details of peace agreement will be presented post compliance of the preliminary process highlighted above.

I convey my best wishes for a peaceful settlement benefitting citizens in the region and humanity at large.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
