Reality Check
2023

The power of the powerless v. the so-called powerful in the world.
Afghanistan v. Western Imperialism and earlier Former Soviet Union preceded by British invasion representing the prolonged time line.
Afghanistan – The nation invaded by imperialists for usual reasons – economic interests for its rich mineral resources and rare essential ingredient lithium used in large batteries in electric cars and wide variety of clean energy systems…bid farewell to western imperialists in 2021.
Ukraine – Western destabilization of democratic system in 2014 led to Russian annexation of Crimea followed by aggressive violent invasion in Feb 2022 continued until now.
Syria – Invasion and occupation by western ally Israel and western collusion with middle-east clients’ relentless shelling, bombing and occupation proved futile leading to western sponsored and creation of IS, ISIS and nexus in the region in 2012 and thereafter.
Yemen – the North African nation enduring relentless violence and bombing aided by western weapons viz. United States, Israel and Britain to energy partner Saudi Arabia and regional alliance proven counterproductive for the major powers backing the corrupt Yemeni government against the local Houthi tribe and their supporters since 2014.
As for Britain’s role in Yemen war –
“The report by the Oxfam charity found that the Saudi-led coalition used weapons supplied solely by the U.K. and the U.S. in hundreds of attacks on civilians in Yemen between January 2021 and the end of February 2022. Britain is the second-biggest supplier of weapons to Saudi Arabia, after the U.S.”
The west also lost their ally in Yemen – the former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh – assassinated in Dec 2017 resulting in blow back for the west and their Middle-East partner Saudi Arabia – the chief rival reining United States and Britain supplied artillery on the poorest nation Yemen in the Arabian peninsula.
Yet the major western powers and Saudi Arabia unable to wield control experiencing setbacks from the war onset in 2014 until now.
In Asia :
Taiwan – the saber rattling from China against independent democratic Taiwan is formidably challenged by the female led leadership Taiwanese President Tsai-Ing wen along with courageous pro-democracy political dissidents despite tremendous hardships and human rights violations inflicted on them by Beijing.
Africa – the African Union fighting back western colonization revisited by France and EU in Mali recurrence to French invasion in 2014 supposedly to curb Islamic militants movement to north that went wry like other western interventions in foreign soil like Iraq, Syria, Libya etc…
Similarly in Latin America – the smaller poorer nations constantly targeted for political unrest and instability involving western footprints have over a period of time and currently defiant and resilient to defend their sovereignty and economy from predator western foreign policy.
The lesson from these events is never to take anyone or anything for granted. Big is not necessarily mighty for the one who has ultimate control over universe is Almighty presiding over just and unjust cause including activities as well as operations never allowing falsehood and deceit to prevail at any time.
The superiority concept has failed time and time again evidenced in the above sequences entirely due to grit, determination and strong will amongst population defending their sovereignty, independence and civil liberty – the fundamentals of a free country.
Regardless of violent intrusions and extreme oppressive strategy, the victims rise like phoenix from ashes in reclaiming their legitimate status.

Human Foes

Human Foes
Padmini Arhant
The human foes are human character and traits.
Human characteristics such as humongous ego, superiority complex, greed, envy prompting gossip mongering, perversion via peeping and snooping misusing technology, sneer and jeer using entertainment industry, condescendence exemplified in prejudice, misogyny, deny others’ fair opportunity, exploitation, domineering ideology transformed to fascism, narcissism, abusive conduct…are many among myriad human weaknesses and flaws evolving into authoritarian bulwark that impetus hostility, acrimony and aggression not barring violence.
The constant targeting which is typically bullying and harassment either directly or worst through nuances, innuendoes and insinuations – a cowardly practice lacking courage to speak with and / or to the person rather than about the person are provocative indulgence exposing the doers’ and their catalysts’ unhappiness, deep insecurity, dissatisfaction in every aspect and indecency.
What triggers nastiness in human character – those in particular wasting life as troubled souls exemplified in discrimination, patronization and disparagement?
The inner self devoid of peace, contentment and self-esteem creates vacuum. The voidness then often scapegoat those not even remotely related or linked to their internal turmoil to which the sufferers alone are responsible.
Yet another problem with such personalities is they are escapists unable to reconcile with harsh realities about themselves and not surprisingly entertainment industry is engaged as distraction and propagation channel in adherence to Nazi style dissemination.
The personality disorder among them widen in shunning own mirror reflection and adapting unrealistic image that neither fits their profile nor own actions and legacy. In other words these are deniers and choose to decline in life cycle.
The more they confront themselves in their barren superficial life, the more they disintegrate within knowing the truth about themselves as who they are and how they are running away from them.
Failure to accept own faulty image influence negativities to overwhelm transforming into predators for glory, fortune, power and publicity. Outwardly turning brute, crude, lewd and weird attack machines with nothing to live for other than persist in perilous involvement.
As a result, their easy prey is the exact opposite of them. Accordingly, the frustration and anger they feel about own status is vented at the person they wish to be in their life.
While they advise those whom they anchor and express bitterness 24/7 to love thy enemies, it never occurs to them to be the example by practicing what they preach their sworn enemy.
Essentially, human relations could improve for the better upon beginning with self in understanding, recognizing and acknowledgement of own shortcomings and abusiveness masqueraded in false persona embedded in rigged fanfare fraudulently advertised in million plus viewership on social media and public domain.
However, them desperately seeking to be the enemy’s wannabe is paradoxical tragic comedy.
What more?
The narcissistic nature is further demonstrated in controlling other’s life via perversion and imposition of own doctrine on individual who reject them and their sadistic ludicrous hypocrisy.
The control freaks possessed by the devil are agitated upon being ignored and reminded on reciprocation of respect, equal rights and opportunity as inalienable and non-negotiable in a civilized society.
The creeps and peeping toms along with their paid sleeping partners quitting their sleazy shoddy occupation in spying, eavesdropping and piracy of personal identity among diverse criminality is critical to avert rather than expedite their excruciating journey sooner then later.
Being mere mortals wagging their rat tail miscalculating the creator, protector and when necessary terminating the bad evil and irredeemable – the supreme entity as mere spectator are living in a fool’s paradise.
Soul searching and cleansing through introspection prior to intrusive objectionable defining and determining their obsessed enemy’s identity notwithstanding abandoning riding on the rival’s coattail is a priority for the incorrigible offenders and compulsive violators on the precipice.
Correction and perfection beginning with selves besides minding own defeat, tumultuous turbulent life and ruinous affairs is the place to start for invaders with identity theft of other’s personal life and intruders’ of other’s space and privacy.
The interference in their enemy’s life with dos’ and don’ts including assigning own proxies name, their corrupt, criminal and embarrassing biography on the enemy is an invitation for perpetual disaster to the source and agents deployed in the self-destructive caricature.
Meanwhile living in public taxpayer’s funded mansions heavily guarded with loaded security personnel, barricaded exterior and interior premise with taxpayer intelligence agency and other private recruits spying on the intended targets 24/7 is vile and abhorrent tradition.
None of these are without ramifications in adverse karmic effects. Those treading in the path guided by satans have met their fate albeit not a pleasant one. The remaining pursuing the trail would be no exception in sharing similar or severe experience joining predecessors in voluntary devastation.
The satans and satans’ slaves obeying marching orders from them fior personal gains and narcissistic goals are delusional in assuming they are scot free despite their willful evil indulgence aimed at malice and vicious smear campaign without realizing such charade only highlight their wickedness and timid connivance. The reprehensible conduct and violations of rights would be dealt with appropriately in accordance with what goes around comes around without a shadow of doubt.
In conclusion, the blissful peaceful and genuine normal person living life independently with dignity, integrity and moral propriety bearing no guilt or shame in righteousness live and leave the world as a free spirit without any burden of karmic debts and sins accompanying many lives over that are typical to the contrary i.e. the self-righteous provocateurs in imminent judgment.
In Gods’s kingdom, neither justice is denied nor evil exempt from reckoning in epic proportion.

Indian Press
Self-Invalidation

The botched up story telling evidenced in the article linked below convict the leading press status obsequious to hoodlum political establishment and propaganda machinery.
“https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/” – Jan 7, 2023.
The article begins as Air India flyer Shankar Mishra
“Air India flyer Shankar Mishra who ‘urinated’ on woman”
Then references tweet on the same incident with the name Shekhar Mishra as the offender.
“So drunk businessman found urinating on co-passenger in flight is one Shekhar Mishra”
The narrative continues with compelling concoction yet with a different name Sanjay Mishra.
“Mumbai-based Sanjay Mishra has been accused of urinating on an elderly passenger in the November 26 New York-Delhi flight.”
The article circle back to Shankar Mishra.
“In the latest in the case, as per new agency PTI, Bengaluru police assisted Delhi police in arresting the accused, Shankar Mishra, from Sanjay Nagar area in city, where he was staying at his sister’s place.”
Here is the interesting twist and spin ball hitting the fabrication fulcrum like bulls eye.
“The arrest comes a day after he was sacked by his California-headquartered employer Wells Fargo.“
When the article writer i.e. author together with the leading press editorial as publisher of the content cannot decide on the subject name varying from Shankar Mishra to Shekhar Mishra and in the later paragraph of the same article bearing the name Sanjay Mishra is tell all about the credibility or the lack thereof of the newspaper effortlessly violating press propriety and journalistic basic standard on accuracy by default.
The dereliction verifiably confirm the drunkenness of the story tellers and publisher besides self-invalidation as unreliable irresponsible member of the press corps.
Not to mention innuendoes citing own proxies from crony contingency in media and entertainment industry is further clarification of the swamp.
The bottom line is get your story right to avert embarrassment and aberration.

Ordinary v. Extraordinary in economic terms.
Living in a world where superficiality, fake personality, pseudo lifestyle and celebrity status laden with pretentious stardom and glamor wooed in quid pro quo,
The concept of ordinary v. extraordinary certainly merit clarifications.
Let’s face it, to be the so-called ordinary in itself is a challenge for the name sake extraordinary opting the easy way out for hollow life masquerading originality with duplicity.
The ordinary devoid of guilt and shame in being simple ordinary real self not having to worry about strangers’ approval or authentication reminds oneself and others to let the world be a free world with individual freedom to live one’s life abstinent of obsequiousness and acquiescence.
The ordinary and extraordinary measured in economic terms as opposed to human values make a world of difference on the subject.
Economic and financial standard in the determination of ordinary and extraordinary is linked to opportunity, ethics and environment.
In contrast, the human value matter the most usually to ordinary than the anyhow somehow extraordinary variety.
In other words, unlike the honest, hard working and talented ordinary reaching extraordinary status in life, the anyhow somehow economically rich acquiring the high life by any means viz. Machiavellian approach from colonial heritage to grand larceny, unscrupulous nefarious tactics and strategy not surprisingly never qualify in human value metric.
Regardless, the ordinary and extraordinary is ascertained in individual KARMA, character, intelligence, ingenuity and above all wherewithal to sail the rough seas, ride the tidal waves in real life, reach the bottom sea floor on the ocean ground and rise to the mountain top over 21,000 feet higher than sea level in the world’s highest peak.
Besides, flying sky high and ejecting from the flying aircraft defying death at 15,000 feet above sea level…remaining ordinary with humility can easily shrug off the obnoxious incendiary misogyny and prejudice outburst from empty suits with deep holes exemplified in enraged envy instilled in insecurity having nothing to do in their life except indulge in provocation and self-mortification.
Apparently, the Norwegian peace committee awarding Nobel peace prize has a long stretch to travel in influencing those at home – the Colonial Royalty admirer in better understanding of the real world comprising overwhelming ordinary people amongst whom extraordinary emerge and evidently irritate the wasteful minds miserably failing to be neither i.e. the ordinary and / or the extraordinary.

Toxicity and Insanity
January 7, 2023
Toxicity and Insanity
Padmini Arhant
1. Where do toxicity and insanity originate from?
Toxicity from hazardous substance and insanity in manufacturing them to hurt and harm others while those involved as producers and catalysts are adversely affected sooner than later in the self-inflicting process.
Both are typical human characteristics due to lack of meaningful purpose in life especially expecting those whom they target to bow to their insolence, arrogance and vitriol besides accept the dumping of their embarrassing criminal profile and legacy as an honor.
2. How to treat toxicity and insanity?
Ignore, Immunity and Ingenuity.
Ignore – the best treatment for toxicity and insanity is to ignore those with terminal disease. Leave them to deal with their self-invited peril.
Immunity – In other options, developing strong immunity to contagious contaminant toxicity spreading across in constant malice, vicious propaganda and vile abuse is effective. The robust immunity would repel and reject any and all toxins neutralizing toxicity of virulence reduced to incapacitation and hence invalid.
Important to note toxins invade private home, personal life, environment and settings that are not conducive to their poisonous genetic make-up and behavioral pattern. Steal their target’s identity for personal gains and glory to escape from own shameful and disgraceful originality.
Accordingly, they desperately seek and attack positive, peaceful and progressed domain that are not tolerated by toxicity prompting and promoting counterproductive destructive actions making a spectacle of them.
Ingenuity – The term let alone attribute is oxymoron to toxicity and insanity. The demonstration in this regard suffice toxicity and insanity fizzle into oblivion.
3. What are the imminent and inevitable results of toxicity and insanity?
Experiencing death in living, failure doom gloom in all endeavors, seething envy burning inner and outer selves, gluttonous greed for fame, fortune and power all to themselves overwhelming to nothingness, incessant regurgitation of venom against whom they envy and exploit, endlessly despise and abuse their target…all of these and more indulgence from them ultimately consume the source i.e. them and their agents with karmic effects haunting them now and beyond.
Essentially their life a living hell for them is their destiny written by them via evil manipulation.
Notwithstanding their negative Karma binding their next and future generation in their family tree with them becoming a curse to their soul and all those kith and kin to them.
Needless to say, the ramifications are severe and irreversible for industry they represent with colossal losses in every aspect and defeat ever remaining the outcome, the nation and society at large they preside evidence hallmark of toxi(city), dupli(city)and menda(city).
The irrefutable fact is solemn truth and defiantly proved incontrovertible against toxicity and insanity.
It’s a matter of time for apocalyptic end to toxicity and insanity individually and in entirety.

Farewell 2022!
December 31, 2022
Farewell 2022!
Padmini Arhant
The sun on year 2022 setting by the hour, minutes and seconds, the events in the year draw attention.
Economy – the most important factor governing and determining economic and financial status has been challenging in the year 2022.
The high inflation in 2022 triggering interest rates hikes dawning on the year 2023 pose further financial struggles and liquidity crunch for homeowners, small and medium businesses as well as anyone dependent on financing to improve their economic condition.
The energy crisis marginally narrowed towards the end in December 2022 having peaked earlier causing fuel price to skyrocket following Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 continued until now.
The stock market performance in 2022 is declared stagnant and worst in semblance to 2008 – 2009 trend.
The economy has been tough and turbulent in 2022.
Health – COVID 19 necessitated preventive care and protection in a positive measure to avert any revival. The travel as a result continue to involve protocol to suit respective national requirements worldwide.
In other words, travel security related to terrorism long been subject to mile long queue, invasive body search besides imaging techniques, additionally the bio risk tied to COVID 19 on health safety is yet another compliance making travel preparations more cumbersome.
Hopefully, the status quo will change for the better enabling mobility and travel less inconvenient.
Energy – The world economy and lifestyle reliance on fossil fuel energy with warfare in some or other part of the world mandatory regardless of administration in the White House and other warring factions elsewhere, the pipeline is turned off or on based on the mood of the energy controllers in accordance with regional and global politics.
Environment – The natural disasters mostly human manufactured extremities not surprisingly taking toll on lives in weather patterns and environmental hazards are reminders to nurture healthy habitat.
Last but not the least, the prolonged era of imperialism represented by monarchy in modern age marred in colonization, oppression, persecution, bloodshed, brutality, violence, criminality and denial of independence, individual freedom and sovereignty EXPIRED in the year 2022.
Similarly other dominant personalities depriving others’ individual rights to share glory, fame and fortune deemed exclusive to them, their departure from the world as nonagenarian in 90’s and older in 2022 is unequivocal fact of life on all things coming to an end sooner than later.
Expiry is inevitable and imminent on all, the dominant and recalcitrant forces in particular wreaking havoc as entitlement.
The immortality longed especially by evil is a myth and fantasy never to fruition now or in the future.
Overall 2022 marks the year of erroneous decisions and mistakes repeated with no lessons learned from history and reality as far as politics and warfare goes whereas economy as usual hurting the ones i.e. the vast majority fighting an uphill battle on all things that are relevant and essential for survival.
Farewell obstinacy and redundant policies hindering meaningful growth and progress.
Goodbye 2022!

The Evil Spirit
December 19, 2022
The Evil Spirit
Padmini Arhant
The evil spirit characteristics – spread negative energy via hatred peaked in selective misogyny, lies, deception, discord, propaganda, fraudulence, greed, envy, anger, narcissism, self-adulation and invasion of other’s life, rights and space…above all utter stupidity among diverse self-destructive character. The evil specialize in killing, maim and produce mass graves to demonstrate power.
The evil deployed slaves typically are publicity and pseudo fame starved wannabe opportunists desperately wanting their shattered image in the portrait much to petty putrid indulgence.
The demons and slaves traits – violate those who recognize them as evil and accordingly the latter refuse to respect former and decline to bow to tyranny. The agitated devil then authorize the devil slaves to disinformation and malice.
The violations range from intrusion in target’s home, life and everything the evil regards as personal entitlement while accusing the abused target as victimizer. In other words the devil scapegoat the target i.e. the victim as victimizer and cry foul upon being exposed of the evil actions.
How do the evil and evil recruited minions in disguise as deceitful preacher and variety such as performer in small to big screens viz. the entertainment platform and social media involve?
For instance;
The victims are blamed as victimizer.
The homes and life invaded with snooping, prying, eavesdropping on target’s personal and family conversations further misused in gossip and worst of all – spying smothered in perversions…all of the lewd crude conduct justified as normal.
Notwithstanding identity theft, piracy and plagiarism are part and parcel of the evil approved endless crimes never acknowledged as such.
The fascism ad nauseam is proudly maintained in identity misappropriation.
Censorship, gag order and cancel culture with indefinite anonymity imposed on the target fearing self-elimination is evil and evil enterprise forté.
Evil preoccupation is picking up fight for narcissist display. The 24/7 obsession with target tops the chart.
The encroachment and infringement on target’s personal rights are considered evil and evil’s trolls prerogative.
In contrast, any mention of evil colluding in secret locations barring public participation on people affairs are proclaimed persona non grata i.e. unwelcome.
Similarly, evil residing in public funded temporary official residence are barricaded with barbed wires and heavily guarded security loaded and armed used against unarmed taxpayer and civilian gunned down on unsubstantiated charges of trespassing miles away from the taxpayer paid residence.
Even then the evil via evil’s hired pretentious devious preacher disseminate lies about the slayed as conniving and at fault.
The evil behind scores of deaths not excluding creating and sponsoring terror including cannibals, wreaking havoc, chaos and destabilization world over never a concern for moral dictators masquerading evil image as holier than thou extended into projection as messiah.
Above all, evil and cronies first name is hypocrisy.
In a nutshell, evil and troop battling guilt within conspicuously evade exposure and remain obsessed with target much to own imminent cataclysmic end.
Needless to say the world is better off without such unscrupulous forces and their elements at disposal with incontrovertible mendacity.
Not surprisingly, evil and contingency strive to obstruct divine path and resist God’s will despite irreversible consequences exemplified in –
Man proposes and God disposes as a reminder on universe subject to cosmic ordain.
As a result, no matter what evil and evil chosen proxy, pawns and puppets do or perform in dalliance with devil, the evil never prevail over God’s decision on all matter.

Syria – Regime Change Target
December 14, 2022
Syria
–
Regime Change Target
Padmini Arhant
It’s time to leave Syria alone.
Syria, a sovereign nation is under persistent attack in the earlier and present decade.
United States administration and ally Israel relentless bombing and shelling of Syria since the so-called Arab Spring in 2010 aimed at regime change is reprehensible.
The provocative indulgence is the foundation for catastrophe facilitating terror havens and undesirable elements making life impossible for the native population in the country and region.
Libya is a classic example with lawlessness and political volatility as the state of affairs for the people left at the mercy of exploiters reaping their harvest.
Although there are many examples in this category, the recent one is Afghanistan with Taliban enabled to power and rule the embattled nation making life miserable for all and impossible for women.
Syrian population are subject to western manufactured terror, sanctions and hostility leaving generational impact on human suffering and misery.
Syrians are driven homeless in their homeland and forced into refugee status only to be denied access on or before arrival on the aggressors shores creating the worst humanitarian crisis since 2010 with no end in sight.
Meanwhile, the aggressors and violators adhering to old obsolete regime change concept reeking chaos and mayhem wherever possible are invariably absolved of responsibility and accountability.
The U.S and ally political aspiration imitating invasion of Iraq under false pretext proved disastrous for invaders i.e. United States and NATO as well as the invaded nation Iraq.
The invasion of Iraq unequivocally led to arrival of al-Qaeda in the middle east that was bereft of terror groups until then. The region ruled by regimes not without western approval or collusion remained in power over several decades upon submitting to western economic terms and conditions regardless of political situation across the region.
United States foreign policy customized to suit interests other than United States or citizens and for that matter the people of the targeted nations till date is timeless recipe for disaster.
The lofty endeavors costing United States taxpayers in billions and trillions thus far only delivered unrest, instability and violent outcome with emergence and manifestation of various terror outfits in the destinations unlike the propaganda on establishing democracy (?) with individual liberty.
United States as well as Israel constant intervention in Syria in 2010 and thereafter attracted other foreign intrusion such as Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia forcing Syria to rely on Russia that eventually produced Russian naval base in Syrian sea port city, Tartus.
The event is no different to Russian annexation of Crimea, the eastern Ukraine following then United States administration and EU launched coup in 2014 against Ukraine’s elected democratic government resulting in Ukraine status quo.
United States present administration by proxy engaged in resumption of regime change in Syria as a mission to finish unfinished task from 2010 – 2012 is by far the undemocratic illegal involvement in a foreign nation that would not be tolerated by United States in return.
The idea of meddling in foreign affairs to mess with the population, sovereignty, self-determination and territorial integrity that are regarded exclusive to United States and western states are somehow not recognized nor respected as relevant with others in the rest of the world.
United States democratic values are successively challenged during such foreign interventions with Syria until now not spared from unwanted unnecessary cataclysmic endurance.
The so-called Russian collusion turned out to be hoax in the taxpayers’ squandered investigations and Robert Mueller headed committee in the fact finding of 2016 U.S. Presidential election.
In comparison, the United States administration in 2010 authorized and convened events under the guise of Arab Spring and other format to topple governments in different parts of the world is a reality that apparently resumed in the current development in Syria.
Anything tried and tested yielding turbulence and turmoil is best abandoned providing opportunity for the victims i.e. the people in Syria and alike viz. Yemen etc. to heal and recover from foreign inflicted carnage as destiny.
Furthermore, the authoritarian style of governance is not necessarily unique to overt authoritarianism. The pattern is unfortunately prevalent in worst disguise in widely presented so-called democracy that are conveniently ignored in the western foreign policy.
The modern day democracy legacy is testament to destabilizing and removal of people choice democratic governments world over with the trend continued as entitlement in the present time.
Finally, regime change and any modification to systems is entirely the sovereign right of the people barring any foreign determination and designation that are anything but democratic.
Syrian people alone possess the inalienable right to exercise election and rejection of government in their domain.
Syria like any other nation deserve peace and stability with long overdue relief from indefinite inhumane western economic sanctions crippling life deprived of normal existence.
In fact, the economic sanctions affect human living conditions with the population anger and frustration expressed towards the policy. The counterproductive strategy have increasingly favored those at the helm that are presumably the target in the misguided decisions.

Ukraine War
December 12, 2022
Ukraine War
Padmini Arhant
Update: Whenever war is waged with no political will to end the carnage predominantly for personal and vested reasons among which image consciousness is a dominant factor, the important outcomes such as casualties in human lives extended into tragedies and generational struggles for veterans, families and the country at large besides economic liabilities are completely ignored in the incessant military engagement.
The scenario is standard in most wars and Ukraine is not unique in that respect.
However, there is light at the end of tunnel for all those involved in this warfare.
The saving grace for all parties are as follows:
Russia holding the strings in the military showdown that began in February 2022 is concerned about complete withdrawal though partial retreat and troops pull back witnessed in the past few months attributed to Ukrainian resistance and formidable response to Russian conventional intrusion.
The troops draw down and de-escalation is viewed by Russian leadership especially President Vladimir Putin as political setback in the domestic and international front with impact on Russian role in the region and global sphere.
On the contrary, the take away achievements for Russia and Ukraine are fairly impressive and noteworthy. The major powers on their part such as the United States and EU differences highlighted requiring remedial measures for Europe to assume bulk responsibility in self-defense and security via appropriate monetary and military contribution through investments moving forward.
Russia Attainments:
1. Russian aim was to restrain NATO presence near Russian borders i.e. stave off Ukraine as NATO and EU member against Russia.
The Russian goal is attained in this regard with Ukraine fighting the war on their turf without NATO direct indulgence on the ground albeit weapons and logistics provisions reached Ukraine from the United States and selective NATO allies to contain the war within Ukraine – Russia geographical constraints preventing conflagration beyond Ukraine.
2.Russian achievement in other aspects are – EU dependency on Russian energy supply even in the critical time of disagreement between them i.e. right in the middle of warfare with Ukraine representing EU against Russia.
Notwithstanding EU objection to other nations in the Indian-sub-continent viz. Pakistan and India chastised for energy procurement from Russia at the onset and ongoing invasion amid own (EU) trade dealings beginning with energy and wheat etc. with Russia throughout and until the present time.
3. NATO precluded from Russian territory whether on NATO volition or Russian intervention in Ukraine regardless. Although the matter could have been addressed by United States and NATO allies heeding Russia’s initial requests and invitation for amicable strategic conflict resolutions.
The Russian outreach until Russian invasion of Ukraine was not paid attention to mitigate relevant strategic problems by the responsible sides leading to further rift in Russia and western relations. Notably NATO dominance in the Baltic and Black sea was definitely unwelcome to Russia.
NATO having assessed regional and global ramifications in the aftermath of Russian invasion of Ukraine, the decision refraining from war with Russia was wise and prudent considering the grave consequences of nuclear powers in the battle.
Ukraine Accomplishments:
1. Ukraine forced into warfare against former trainer Russian army with Ukrainian top military brass having experience from the Red Army aka Russian Krasnaya Armiya from the former Soviet era delivered huge benefits and military advantage to Ukraine.
Accordingly, the message to young and older Ukrainian forces is they can defend themselves without EU and NATO badge against militarily larger and nuclear power near and far.
The Russian military performance not meeting expectations is linked to Kremlin’s unjustified political aspirations and yet another issue is the Russian low morale in the war against neighbor Ukraine with families on both sides subject to unnecessary pain and suffering had drastic influence.
Juxtaposed Ukraine defending homeland, sovereignty and relatively new independent status from former Soviet Union impetus resilience and fortitude to save their motherland from foreign aggression and safeguard newly earned individual liberty and freedom.
2. Ukraine defending their territorial rights and sovereignty in the battle field regaining lost land and enclave is firmly established in the year-long armed conflict.
3. Ukraine emerged strong and hopeful in the military warfare is a precedence in nation building with fortified internal security forces prepared to deal with endangerment and threats from anywhere.
Russia and Ukraine having realized respective objectives thus far, the commonality between two neighbors comprising families on both sides ending the war with permanent ceasefire is in best interests of the population of the two nations.
Not to mention the war yielding irreversible loss of lives and disproportionate damage to infrastructure and institutions is extraordinary with restoration and revival of normal existence – an immediate requirement in Ukraine and affected areas in Russia.
Russia and Ukraine in mutual recognition of strength and endowments as two sovereign nations commitment to forge solid economic trade and cultural exchange together with strategic partnership would guarantee peace, progress, prosperity and security in and around the region.
Peace to Ukraine and Russia!

————————————————————————————
Europe is the biggest beneficiary in this nearly year long battle since Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 early this year.
Reiterating earlier determination and summary in this domain on the origin of Ukraine status quo commenced in 2014 with EU and then United States administration in 2014 launched coup against then democratic government in Kiev, Ukraine is the foundation for the events in Ukraine in 2014 and thereafter until now.
Russian invasion of Ukraine allegedly to curb NATO occupation or intrusion at Russian boundary proved devastating and deadly for Russia and Ukraine with EU as NATO representative fighting the proxy war via Ukraine at U.S.taxpayers’ expense while maintaining energy flow and other economic ties with invader Russia.
There is no doubt EU is having the cake and relishing it in this quagmire without having to spill blood and squander own treasure.
Ukraine despite fighting europe’s war against Russia is declined NATO and EU membership. So much for EU gratitude and acknowledgment of Ukraine’s sacrifice in this entire gamut.
United States on the flip side is accused by EU of profiteering from Ukraine war citing high gas prices, weapons sales and trade in the recent statement from EU commission head Ursula Von der Leyen evading self- responsibility as the primary fire starter in 2014 crying foul over then Ukraine’s democratic government and neighbor Russia normal economic deal.
Neither Ukraine – the fighting force on EU’s behalf enduring loss of lives, economic mayhem due to relentless war seeing no end in sight with Russian President Vladimir Putin denial on fait accompli nor United States accused as profiteer from the war by EU are able to impress upon Europe and EU’s gold standard in particular.
Russia in the middle of this conundrum is deeply entrenched draining own economy and exhausting military maneuvers and strategy to the point of no return.
Above all Ukraine war is costing the rest of the world in arbitrary energy crisis and superficial fuel price hikes not without ripple effects on food, transportation and other essentials with oil producers striking on the hot iron.
EU meanwhile enjoys the status as spectator and critic inheriting the best of both worlds from Ukraine expending lives and livelihoods alongside United States monetizing the affair at U.S.taxpayer liability.
Freebies are nice to certain extent and anything exceeding limit produce inverse results for recipients and the provider.
Overall – Ukraine is defending their sovereignty and reclaiming territories lost in the aftermath of western coup in 2014 facilitating Russian invasion and intervention in the eastern region of the country.
Ukraine is adequately demonstrating their goals in protecting territorial integrity violated by both western powers and Russia until now. The tremendous fight from Ukraine against Russian authority aggression since February 2022 is fought by Ukraine without being EU or NATO member.
EU refusal and reluctance to grant Ukraine EU and NATO formal membership is clear to avert direct confrontation with Russia that is being averted right now using Ukraine.
Russia on the other hand declaring war on Ukraine as war on NATO with economic relations remaining intact between Russia and EU – the NATO ally of the United States. The situation essentially funding the war in reality.
