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.

United States – Definition of Freedom

United States

–

Definition of Freedom

Padmini Arhant 

Regardless of administrations, left or right in the United States, the U.S. politics’ definition of freedom is unequivocally phrased to suit United States foreign policy designed and directed by selective commission such as the Trilateral Commission and / or Council on Foreign Relations if in existence any longer or equivalent, besides other special interests groups and corporate investments.

Iran protests is periodical that surface at the onset of every administration whether democrat or republican with the event simmering to status quo.

United States and EU politics empathy for Iranians’ freedom is a political stance more than humanitarian view.

Juxtaposed, United States’ past democrat and current republican administration supplying weapons, arms and ammunition to Israel at United States taxpayer expense together with western allies, especially EU in the forefront aiding Israel with submarines and artillery in the United States democrat administration approved warfare against Gaza in October 2023 continued to date under the present republican administration has FREEDOM abysmally missing in the entire deal.

Iranians plight for freedom is overwhelmingly regarded fair and just by United States bipartisan politics along with their western allies premised on subjective freedom.

However, the native Palestinians’ similar quest for FREEDOM and independent Statehood of long established and recognized Palestine is rejected by the west and United States bipartisan politics and administrations not barring left or right with a military response in continuous shelling and bombing of the densely populated Gaza strip, and the residual Palestinian territories leaving children, women, the young and the old, the able and physically challenged in the perpetual war zone entirely at the selective definition of Freedom under western foreign policy.

Freedom is neither a choice nor a privilege subject to any political system and factions’ discretion.

Freedom is the fundamental, inalienable right of all living species with human rights increasingly denied by politics contrarily exercising extra judicial power to executive actions in and out of term in office exceeding the civilization norms paradoxical to the self-proclaimed democracy.

The political decadence since the beginning of the twenty first century is at the precipice replacing the laws of the jungle in reference to violence and violations of civil decorum, fairness, and due consideration for the international rule of law in terms of respect for foreign sovereignty, and territorial integrity.

The political class deterioration to political crass is a harbinger of the beginning of the end in the tried and tested failed western foreign policy and hegemonic aspirations purely and exclusively for economic interests and strategic dominance.

Imperialism of any origin in the past and present proven a systemic collapsible house of cards eventually crumbling beyond recognition.

Yet politics prompted and lobbied by oligarchy and assortment interests for free and unfettered access to foreign economic resources and natural endowments that are otherwise safeguarded and protected as national treasures on own turf defy foreign sovereignty, territorial integrity and civility.

The latest action by the current United States administration of President Donald Trump against Venezuela is reminiscent of the predecessors from the late past and early present century against the Caribbean nation Haiti with both democrat and republican administrations alike from the earlier Clinton, Bush to Obama administration coup dètat and exile of then Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and successors, and thereafter creating chaos, carnage and abject poverty in the nation including civil unrest under the guise of western democratization.

The western democratization doctrine is old and obsolete having experimented in the previous century Vietnam to present age Iraq, Libya, Syria and now in Venezuela.

All of these targeted nations under western democratization and freedom policy openly declared the Project for New American Century launching Afghanistan, Iraq war in 2001, 2003 and proliferated in 2009 – 2016 worldwide, then resumed to date is delivered a recipe for disaster.

The outcome from western infiltration and interventions in foreign land is anything but democratic.

Case in point – though there are one too many almost all of them thus far.

Notably, Afghanistan is under Taliban rule with women’s rights ruled as blasphemous and female children forbidden from any education let alone higher education.

The boys are no better under Taliban regime. They are trained to defend Talibanism against all citizens including their family.

The present Taliban regime is a strong ally of the so-called world’s largest democracy India and the fundamentalist regime in New Delhi. The conduit is Talibanism and New Delhi politics’ fundamentalism forging affinity.

Nonetheless, that is the parting gift from western democratization to the people of Afghanistan leaving them to fend for themselves in the scurried departure from Afghanistan in 2022 under United States democrat administration.

The other being Syria – United States listed Syria in the Project for New American Century agenda under Bush – Cheney administration.

The successor Barack Obama Presidency receiving the baton from the predecessor Bush – Cheney administration, vowed to toppling Syria in the United States fomented so-called Arab Spring to prolong the predecessor’s Project for New American Century in 2011 and upon failure to do so, recouped terror resurgence via Al Qaeda terror network and installed the self-admitted terror outfit leader Ahmed Al-Sharaa as Syrian President in 2024 at the United States former democrat Presidency will and direct engagement.

Venezuela has been targeted by every administration in the United States at energy giants’ behest in the economic sector.

Venezuela today was Iran in the past century.

The citizens of Iran dethroned monarchy  and popularly elected Dr. Mohammad Mosaddegh as the Prime Minister through solid democratic process.

Iran’s first and only Prime Minister in 1951 upon election, nationalized Iran’s oil reserves and energy fields in Iran’s national interest.

The move was not tolerated by the so-called democratic Britain in name only considering the pledge of allegiance to the crown to date, and United States touted the beacon of democracy.

The politics in both nations together with other western European partners predominantly under pressure and ultimatums from the major oil companies in their domains unseated the democratically elected Prime Minister Dr.Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953 via proxy Iranian coup organized, funded and backed by Britain and United States Intelligence Agencies under then democrat oversight, similar to the Arab Spring in 2011 – 2016 during the democrat administration of Barack Obama Presidency.

The ongoing developments against Iran by west including Israel propagated as the model of democracy are persistently involved in shifting Iran back to monarchy in obeisance to western foreign policy of vassal statehood.

The heir to the western revival of Iranian throne is the preferred member, none other than the next of kin to the Shah of Iran – Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi from the Shah dynasty, a strong western ally overthrown in the Iranian revolution in 1979. 

The western efforts to revert Iran to monarchy surrendered to western diktat is nothing new, except these transitions were short lived and, upon being prolonged the blowback from population uprising has been strategically and politically phenomenal leading to contemporary status with respect to Iran and western democratization policy.

These events in history time and again are testament to western so-called democratization i.e. destabilization in reality and anti-democratic in all facets of implementation.

The trajectory until now clarify western commitment to democracy and sincerity or the lack thereof.

The indefensible invasion, occupation and colonization strategy implemented world over by United States under every administration is the real face of the political system under vested interests’ control and subjugation.

The status in return apply to the United States Republic not necessarily free with liberty and justice for all.

United States’ Donald Trump administration return to the flawed foreign interventions and colonization is a colossal mistake in history repeating itself under any political party and administration with the hope of expecting different results from the same experiment.

The continuation of United States hegemony anywhere never Make America Great Again – the MEGA slogan of the Donald Trump Presidency.

In contrast, it makes United States succumb to old habits die hard placing United States domestic priorities secondary and insignificant over specific treasure hunt expeditions overseas.

United States interference and brazen removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is completion of long desired condemnable action earlier targeted by Barack Obama Presidency since the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s nomination by then Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, the latter being the victim of foreign with U.S. administration under Barack Obama Presidency involvement in the tragic health ailment of the populist President Chavez in Venezuela.

United States’ foreign policy is standard for all administrations whether democrat or republican in the voracious appetite for seizing foreign economic assets deploying displacements and destabilization of foreign governments joining any other in the race, while maintaining strong objection and criticism of those following the trend ignoring the fact on being the trend setter.

Politics is now driven into unruly mobocracy transcending from the so-called democracy. When citizens as taxpayers and electorate in the nation are targeted and terrorized, further subject to ruthless savage attacks hiring goons and criminals in politics’ reserve, the political transgressions are protected with immunity in the so-called democracy.

The despotic control of a citizen’s personal life, and private health to financial matter by political power with self-granted impunity upon losing Presidential election in November 2024 or earlier in 2016 are not merely symptomatic. It is cataclysmic political might to the farthest extreme.

The deplorable reprehensible actions extended offshore is political sabotage of global peace and security with natural impact on national identity.

Venezuela is a sovereign nation with people elected government and head of the State.

The latest United States’ executive action for economic dominance on Venezuela’s crude oil reserves is political insurrection imitating the one against Ukraine in 2014 under U.S. democrat administration in Keiv’s maidan square involving violent overthrow of the democratically elected then Ukrainian President Viktor Yanakovich and the entire cabinet visibly at gun point in world view in March 2014.

The turn of events in Ukraine since United States and EU derailing of democracy in 2014, present grave security and economic dilemma for Europe in 2026, in accordance with chickens come home to roost.

United States reversal to exerting Supremacy in Venezuela, Cuba and other destinations are a paradigm shift from the campaign slogan and pledge to the electorate by the current administration to divest interest and investments in the domestic front to Make America Great Again. 

Politics’ confined to archaic principles and ideology for economic and territorial hegemony is a beaten track burdened with liability and damaged credibility.

Mistakes repeated with no lessons learned is a deliberate course slighting dire consequences with guaranteed failure.

Pakistan – Government Invitation for Dialogue with PTI

Pakistan

Government Invitation for Dialogue with PTI

Padmini Arhant 

https://prakrithi.padminiarhant.com/pakistan-2025-spectacular-innings/

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif latest invitation to PTI for direct dialogue and discourse to amicably resolve political differences and focus on economic issues is once again a graceful diplomatic gesture.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and coalition partner Pakistan People Party Senior head and current President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari extended similar invitation and even invited PTI Chairman Imran Khan post 2024 national election to assume power, with PTI having won the 2024 election as a majority, despite the undemocratic conditions experienced by PTI contestants and poll restrictions on PTI contenders at that time. 

Unfortunately, PTI leadership then overwhelmed by disappointment rather than rationale declined the offer in 2024 akin to the response today to PM Shehbaz Sherif’s public invitation to PTI for discussion.

Then onwards PTI confrontation with Pakistan’s Defense Force and moderate political factions have led to status quo in 2025.

Pakistan politics traveling down the memory lane in not so distant past, the situation PTI faced in 2024 was experienced by PML(N) and PPP then as coalition in 2018, when PTI Chairman Imran Khan was bolstered to power by the same Pakistan’s Defense Force domesticslly referred to as “the establishment”. 

In 2018, the incumbent PML (N) and PPP as coalition won the national election against PTI with a minor shortfall in forming the government. 

Juxtaposed, PTI had a bare minimum seats struggling to galvanize support from other political factions in the 2018 national election.

In fact, PTI in 2018 formed alliance with unsavory fringe political parties for the sake of gaining power, and yet fell short of the constitutional requirement to form government that was micromanaged by then Pakistan’s Defense Force under then Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa. 

The recent press meet by Pakistan’s Defense Force, DG ISPR Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry statement was not wrong that PTI Chairman Imran Khan was provided the opportunity to head Pakistan as Prime Minister by Pakistan’s Defense Force in 2018, with whom PTI is having issues post 2024 election.

It is also noteworthy and often forgotten by political parties especially upon losing elections, referendum, Parliamentary No-Confidence vote…the responsible factors and factions in the process. 

PTI was let down by own coalition in 2022 No-Confidence Vote, though the move originated from the proxy administration in Washington in 2022 together with Indian ruling power, the BJP government, and other external intervention such as prominent EU member states against then PM Imran Khan.

EU contention against PM Imran Khan was related to negotiation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on oil import that Pakistan required, similar to neighbor India and others at the onset of then Washington administration triggered Ukraine – Russia war in February 2022.

India’s oil purchase from Russia in 2022 was not as contentious for EU though subtle remarks were obvious in public appearance compared to EU reaction to Pakistan’s same initiative under then PM Imran Khan. 

PM Imran Khan had every right to prioritize fuel and natural gas national requirement and that too amid COVID pandemic environment. 

EU regardless of Ukraine-Russia war in 2022, the key members like Germany and non-member and EU trade partner Finland maintained natural gas imports from Russia.

Likewise, EU and NATO member Hungary defied EU ban on oil and natural gas imports from Russia and continued energy imports from Russia regardless of Ukraine – Russia war escalation in 2022 and thereafter.

Pakistan without a doubt was treated differently in economic trade by EU and then Washington proxy administration in 2022.

The culmination led to Washington proxy administration in 2022 authorizing No-Confidence vote against PM Imran Khan. 

The No-Confidence vote against PM Imran Khan and PTI government was also facilitated by PTI coalition that fled the ship at the time of foreign created political crisis to destabilize Pakistan. 

Considering these factual events and PTI coalition fragmentation, PM Imran Khan’s political strategy to survive the challenges was myopic ignoring immediate and long term downturns as a result.

The former PM Imran Khan’s recent criticism of Pakistan Defense Force dealings with Afghanistan’s Taliban, and Indian political adversarial relations regardless of both states endangering Pakistan and regional safety and security, influenced by PTI misguided interpretation. 

The former PM Imran Khan suggested peace talks and dialogue over Pakistan Defense Force military response against Afghanistan and India, that have launched preemptive strikes and provocative aggressions.

In the domestic front, PTI’s current policy rejecting talks with the ruling government and political parties, and instead returning to major people’s rally called on February 8, 2026 repeating the mistake on May 9, 2025 is contradictory.

The PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s response from prison is understandably emotionally charged than rationally composed under these circumstances that PTI has gotten involved in the aftermath of No-Confidence vote outcome in 2022 and then onwards. 

Nonetheless, the political conditions for PTI right now declining government’s peaceful overtures unnecessarily exacerbate the former PM Imran Khan’s chance of potential release and participation leading Pakistan towards a stable and viable political and economic status. 

The former PM Imran Khan accepting PM Shehbaz Sharif’s invitation for direct political discourse via designated members of PTI, those with political experience and maturity in mutual respect of authorities in politics and Pakistan Defense force could pave a peaceful and positive pathway for PM Imran Khan’s release.

Furthermore, PTI commitment to renounce counterproductive doctrine venting anger and  revenge against those publicly and privately identified, alongside pledging solidarity to lead Pakistan in fighting terror within and outside, besides promoting ongoing significant economic development and progress would provide PTI and leader Imran Khan a new beginning in the coming New Year 2026. 

In terms of political win and loss, the leading political parties PML(N), PPP and PTI have gone through the power swap in 2018 by PTI, and in 2024 by the current political power.

Although, the people mandate and elected choices merit ascendence to power and governance strengthening democracy.

The major political parties’ power transfer are now even and PTI joining the governance in effective role and contesting election in 2029 through ballots would unify the disoriented PTI and allow the present government under PM Shehbaz Sharif to function without any disruptions and disorder.

Pakistan’s Defense Force consideration of these transitions and former PM Imran Khan having spent three years in prison, the release of PTI leader Imran Khan to join Pakistan’s political scene with PTI rule in Khyber Pakhthunkhwa (KPK) lately affected by terrorism in successive attacks taking advantage of PTI’s political instability could provide relief to KPK population and guarantee security in the province and nationwide. 

Peace and political stability to Pakistan.
