Russia – Caving to Western Pressure on Invasion

Russia – Caving to Western Pressure on Invasion
Padmini Arhant
The weakness in leadership demonstrated in situations to submit to foreign pressure and that too for an adversarial action like invasion is promoted and the leadership fails to prove otherwise. The will to resist and reject opponent’s expectations severely lacking and moving ahead with aggression and occupation under any pretext as peacekeepers etc. knowing the ill-consequences is vulnerability at peak.
Russia is walking into the trap that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein did in 1990 with invasion of Kuwait. The west justified subsequent actions against Iraq and President Saddam Hussein based on then Iraqi President’s fatal error.
The western media and politics heavily invested in baiting and betting on war ever committed in establishing their stance right predominantly at the expense of loss of innocent lives and economic carnage worldwide.
What a way to exhibit might and dominance amid madness and proclivity to destructive course misguiding individual and collective mind?
Russia’s further encroachment on Ukraine’s territory would only strengthen western and eastern alliance via NATO creating the reverse on security interests for Russia. The results would neither favor Russia’s security matter nor benefit western Europe on energy and economy.
Regardless the presentation on NATO – Russia topic will be presented as stated earlier.

Ukraine – Donbas Russian Force

Ukraine – Donbas Russian Force
Padmini Arhant
The latest move from Russian Federation authorizing Russian force claimed as peacekeepers in Donetsk and Luhansk in Donbas region, the situation in semblance with Crimea in 2014 is an unnecessary engagement. Additionally, recognizing the two Ukrainian territories as free republics is counterproductive for Russia and importantly the standoff with NATO.
The Russian Federation while seeking NATO evacuation from eastern Europe, conducting these maneuvers on the sidelines in direct violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity is least helpful for Russia. The activities declared as Russian outreach to ethnic Russians and pro-Russian separatists further exacerbate division and unrest in the volatile region.
The Russian President Vladimir Putin honoring Russia’s commitment stated in the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) – the public press release on February 17, 2022 categorically stating on Russia’s position not to invade Ukraine.
“Moscow insists that there is no “Russian invasion” of Ukraine, nor are there any plans for one.”
However, the statements in public or private exemplified in action and maintained without wavering in stance ruling out any form of invasion and occupation of Ukraine including Donbas region – the eastern Ukraine is critical in negotiations on any agreements with NATO and Ukraine.
The issues in Donbas region – the eastern Ukraine is Ukrainian responsibility. The external interference from Russia, NATO or elsewhere would only foment violence and escalate tensions that are best avoided in the current environment.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kiev direct involvement with the separatists and other factions via peaceful dialogue and peacekeeping strategy would avert any requirement from neighboring Russia to intervene in Ukrainian affair.
Russia’s ability to contain any voluntary movement into Ukrainian territory would be beneficial and effective in protecting Russian security interests from NATO alliance in eastern Europe.
The NATO – Russia permanent peace deal will be presented in due course.

Bulletin : The bomb blast reported in the news in Donbas region – Luhansk and Donetsk is regrettable and reprehensible. The forces behind such violence could never be anyone’s well wishers or represent peace and solidarity to defuse the volatile situation.
Such activities prompt Crimea like circumstances to leave territory. These incidents by no means are productive and contrarily fuel tension as well as unnecessary provocation.
Ukraine authority vigilance and effective peaceful non-violent measures to maintain law and order in these two areas is essential to avert out of control unrest.
The foreign intrusions from anywhere creating chaos intercepted and denied access in Donbas region is the preliminary step towards security for citizens in eastern Ukraine. Ukraine government lapses in safety and security of citizens in Donbas would recreate 2014 Crimea event that are obviously not desirable for Ukraine.
In other developments, the United States State Department headed by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov meeting scheduled later this week in Europe to discuss the Ukraine crisis is positive and provides opportunity to exchange views from both sides to end the standoff.
As stated in the article below, the comprehensive resolution details for Ukraine – Russia and NATO – Russia will be presented shortly.

Ukraine – Russia Peace Treaty
Padmini Arhant
The eagerness to start a war via sensationalized media reporting and political rhetoric is old and repetitive – the practice best laid to rest once and for all now and in the future.
As stated earlier on this topic, the disagreement mainly involves Russia and NATO over security threats from one another with Ukraine used as the battleground. The strategy from either side is unreasonable and inappropriate.
Again as explained earlier, NATO representing the United States and European Union supply of modern artillery to Ukraine in recent weeks is contradictory to public statement on peace and diplomacy required to ease tensions on the ground.
Russian Federation on the other hand declaring no interest or intention to invade Ukraine while still procrastinating on troop withdrawal from Ukraine and Russia border all around exacerbate speculations on alleged invasion. Notwithstanding the status quo along the border provides fodder for western media and anti-Russian factions in the west to promote propaganda.
The Russian Federation issues with NATO regarding NATO incursions in eastern Europe and NATO alliance against Russia as explained earlier merit consideration to de-escalate mutual security threats in the region.
With respect to Ukraine and Russia – the Minsk agreement in 2015 is not agreeable to Ukraine much to Russia’s disappointment. Ukraine’s position is equally important as Russia’s in order to enforce the Minsk agreement or any new accord. The matter will be revisited and presented in detail shortly.
Meanwhile, it is incumbent upon NATO and Russia to acknowledge Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity that are not apparent in the current development.
NATO’s role in the ongoing situation is strange having openly stated to Ukraine to defend itself upon any Russian invasion claiming NATO or United States forces will not fight Ukraine war. At the same time flooding Ukraine with western artillery against Russia serves as provocation rather than mitigation that is critical now.
Russia’s interpretation of western arms delivery to Ukraine is directly related to eastern Ukraine – the donbas region. The pro-Russian separatists in this part of Ukraine recent ceasefire with Ukrainian government hardly allowed to prevail by forces desperately seeking war at all costs regardless of dire consequences in such engagement.
The latest report from western media about false flag operation in donbas region citing a kindergarten with two members injured is precisely kind of scenarios produced to instigate violence in any areas vulnerable to political and social unrest in that country.
The western media projection is false flag events would originate from Russia to implicate Ukrainian authority having authorized violence against pro-Russian separatists faction in eastern Ukraine.
Russia maintains the western high grade military arsenal export to Ukraine is to aid Ukrainian authority to use force against pro-Russian members in eastern Ukraine leading to full scale warfare.
The west and Russia’s lack of trust against each other highlight misplaced focus on both sides when the major powers should expend resources and diplomatic means to end present stalemate.
The citizens in Ukraine, Russia and the rest of the world have suffered enough and still experiencing the global pandemic caused health and economic effects.
The world spared from any more crises such as the potential war in Ukraine is the least the leaders in the west, NATO, Russia and Ukraine could do with divestment in peace and not peril as propagated in the western media as – ‘the moment of peril.’
The topic will be presented further with comprehensive resolution on Ukraine – Russia peace treaty, NATO – Russia permanent security deal in due course.

War Facts – NATO v. Russia
February 12, 2022
War Facts
NATO v. Russia
Padmini Arhant
War is deadly. War is costly and naturally ugly.
Once drawn into war, the repercussions are far worse than any reason behind involvement in warfare.
There are no winners in war except deadliest consequences affecting those on the ground and worldwide in economic ramifications beginning with rising energy price having chain reaction on travel, food and consumer products and services that are already fairly high due to inflation.
In the usual United States media hype on NATO v. Russia with Ukraine unfairly and unfortunately caught in between the unnecessary standoff, the Russian invasion is anticipated from the other side i.e. the NATO and anti- Russian sentiments in the west.
Ukraine’s disposition is commendable to remain calm and yet be prepared for any event.
The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky advising Ukrain forces and citizens not to submit to panic is the right approach in such situation. At the same time, the focus on peaceful negotiation and discourse continuing alongside with Moscow and pro-Russian groups in the Donbass region, eastern Ukraine is key to mitigate the crisis.
Ukraine’s understanding that United States and NATO are not committed to fight for Ukraine from Ukraine as publicly made clear by United States administration and NATO is a good reason for Ukraine to maintain the resolve in averting any form of aggression from anywhere.
Russia on the other hand knowing the western strategy well are wise not to attack its neighbor Ukraine with Russian speaking population living in the eastern and other parts of Ukraine. Even otherwise, Russia is a seasoned player in warfare having been in the game far too long. Accordingly, the Russian forces would not be expended at huge economic liability besides loss of lives in the minor or protracted engagement.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is well aware not to lead Russia into a deadly war front resulting in massive casualties on both sides prompting NATO to move against Russia under the pretext of NATO protecting its allies in eastern bloc.
Importantly, Russia is experienced and perceptive not to fall for western media and politics drumroll, the provocation and propaganda similar to Iraq prior to invasion of the oil rich state. The false narratives played repeatedly against Iraq was Saddam Hussein in possession of chemical weapons which was proved false and a major deception by the aggressors.
This time around, the west hawkish faction and anti-Russian rhetoric claim on Russia’s imminent invasion of Ukraine setting dates debunked much to self-embarrassment. Again these activities are in sync with the old habits die hard.
Russia is also savvy not to invite preventable economic woes that are critical more than the ongoing NATO incursion in eastern Europe.
President Vladimir Putin awareness on economic costs for Russia in the prolonged troop deployment and alternatively advancing against Ukraine would deter any such action.
Furthermore, Russia not providing any opportunity for own economic decline and initiating amicable peaceful resolution with Ukraine forging good economic, cultural and political ties with the neighbor is in best interests of both Russia, Ukraine and eastern Europe.
Peace to Ukraine and Russia permeating in eastern Europe.

War and Peace
Padmini Arhant
War games have long known to be the typical means for political and economic gains only benefiting the selective few at the expense of vast majority not only in the war zone but also the rest of the world.
The global ramifications are felt in further inflation due to rising energy costs directly linked to oil and/or natural gas production nations like Russia and Ukraine -the supply facilitator to Europe and neighbors nearby. Ukraine commodity exports in food grains would also contribute to global market turbulence.
The other nations like Poland are also dragged into warfare in that region as United States NATO ally.
The regional instability induced through foreign meddling and especially confrontation between two vastly nuclear powered nations would be catastrophic in every respect – financial markets, currency, energy as well as food crops imports etc. are all at stake in the unwise rhetoric from western media and talking points fueling the situation.
Realistically speaking;
War yielding destruction is easy for the bidders and profiteers in the game.
Do they ever return to those territories they destroyed with their authorization in the bully pulpit?
Is there any interest or concern towards the lives they are responsible for destruction with generational effects and decimation of the nations?
Almost never.
They leave office and focus on super enrichment of personal lives divorced from the idea of contentment. The beach front mansions and ever flowing money fountain keep them preoccupied in the insatiable appetite for more fame, fortune and power they can possibly deal with in this lifetime.
They might at worst glance at the rubbles and ruins in a television news item with a complete disconnect from their deeds whilst in office and simply stare at the scene on the screen as merely unfortunate during the relaxing moments sipping champagne by the sea side home.
War resulting in deaths, devastation and destruction is hardly a matter of deliberation with no willingness to reject destructive course.
To some at the political helm, the war disposition is misconceived as strength and fancy to exhibit military prowess at ordinary taxpayers costs and economic liability burdened on the latter over generations through sovereign debt.
After all, the notion is who cares about what happens to those targeted in the playground, the war fields rained with bullets, bombs not barring nuclear laden missiles piercing the heart of the living breathing lives, homes and infrastructure.
The war is image maintenance and compliance with those serving ill-advise from their ivory tower besides obliging demands from defense contractors in the military industrial complex who in return solely eyeing on mega profits from blood and body bags in the entire gamut.
War to hawkish minds is very attractive and glamorous when dispatching young men and women in harm’s way with no guarantee of their safe return alive back home in the not near rather distant future subject to their survival.
The reason being war posturing invariably leading to permanent military base in those territories occupying the region indefinitely while administrations change in political office continuing the trend is the only certainty in the offing.
Accordingly, peace is inconvenient and not suave in displaying mighty power as tanks and troops on the ground.
Peace is not a cash cow for gold diggers creating mass graveyards and in general the delusion aiming for glory and political advantage expending blood and treasure of ordinary citizens on all sides is concentrated on exclusive profits.
War is also pursued to debilitate economies producing a constant dependency on external sources away from self-sufficient productive independent economic status.
There is also an opportunity for free supply essentially looting resources once a no man’s land and lawlessness is established in the states like Libya, Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan to mention few among several in the last two decades of foreign interventions worldwide.
Peace as the alternative is too boring for the self-appointed game changers adept at destruction and alien to construction in the aftermath of turmoil and carnage they proudly inflict on the victims of warfare dismissed as collateral damages in the press briefing.
What more to expect from such mindset except knowing the inevitable i.e. power corrupts human mind and absolute power corrupts absolutely beyond salvation.
The end justifying the means often impetus mindless engagement ultimately reversing the outcome sooner than later causing embarrassment and massive economic loss with the realization on too late for remedy.
The reconciliation and rapprochement is the priority for Russia and Ukraine as permanent neighbors sharing common cultural, economic and geopolitical reality.

Russia – Ukraine Peace Agreement
February 2, 2022
Russia – Ukraine
Peace Agreement
Reaction
Padmini Arhant
This article highlighting the sensibility and sensitivity to address the Ukraine crisis has received positive response and overwhelming majority believe in the peaceful resolution with a permanent peace deal between Russia and Ukraine like elaborated in this publication.
However, a small minority as always on any issue unwilling to acknowledge factual information and reality.
Certain U.S. lawmakers in the Senate along with usual critics in the media and those with guilty conscience resigned to dismissal citing none other than them have the authority or say on any matter emphasizing their power as decision makers is least surprising.
The minority members also hopefully realize that power comes with responsibility.
The decision-making especially related to military or economic warfare via sanctions, the consequences are also on them in terms of humanitarian, regional and global security crises in the aftermath of such authorization.
The comments on Russia’s annexation of Crimea, occupation of Syria and now troops deployment around Ukraine emanate from western and allies intrusions in Ukraine, Syria and worldwide.
This is not about pro-Russian or anti-Russian stance. It’s all about cause and effect reflecting reason and reality in the international affairs.
The western involvement in insurrection against then democratic Ukraine resulted in the Crimean territorial union with the Russian Federation in 2014.
Similarly, the western and middle eastern alliance against Syria led to Russian forces arrival later in Syria. The Syrian situation was already in shambles from western and middle eastern coalition behind the controversial Arab Spring falsely created to finish the unfinished tasks on the pre-meditated Project for New American century.
Again the exclusive views among few members in the United States politics asserting the United States right to meddle not only in Europe but in any part of the world is presumptuous and ill-conceived disposition.
Such positions exemplify carte blanche authority in the United States political ranks having little or no respect for other nations’ sovereignty, those nations’ citizens right to self-determination and independent status of those countries around the world.
Often the lack of respect for other nations and citizens sovereign right promotes such opinions on warfare and aggression including economic sanctions.
Here is the legitimate question.
It is well established and widely proven that Iraq war in 2003 was waged on false premise on the never founded alleged chemical weapons in Iraq.
Are there any Senators and United States members of Congress in the House who voted for Iraq war in 2003 prepared to come forward and accept responsibility for the decimation of a foreign nation leaving millions of Iraqis dead, many displaced and overwhelming population made to flee the deadly war zone besides the middle east region experiencing the quagmire of Iraq war until now?
What about the Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans from the United States defense force returned home with missing body parts, physically, mentally and emotionally traumatized and significant members as homeless left to fend for themselves in American cities nationwide?
Any lawmakers earlier exercising their power as sole decision makers and authorized the illegal invasion and occupation of foreign land prepared to pledge financial support to the victims of warfare?
The power primarily represented as authority and discretion mostly used as privilege is misinterpreted and misused in the absence of discernment.
War is not the answer to any or all political disagreements. The peace and diplomacy pursued sincerely could guarantee success benefitting all.

Russia – Ukraine
Peace Agreement
Padmini Arhant
The latest development between Ukraine government and pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine reaching an agreement to preserve ceasefire is a welcoming gesture for all citizens in eastern and western Ukraine as one nation. The ceasefire also provides relief to neighboring Russia as well as eastern Europe.
As for the standoff between Russia and the western counterparts i.e. the European Union and the United States in particular, the NATO expansion near and around Russia is obviously the bone of contention for the Russian federation. No nation in the modern age should either pose any threat or be threatened by any other nation individually or collectively near or far.
Russia’s concerns with NATO presence at the doorstep as a direct security problem is not unreasonable.
The revival of cold war tensions prompting all sides on eternal alert with military readiness not barring nuclear alarm is not the choice in the contemporary era or in the future. There is an urgency to reverse situation to normal. The major nuclear powers i.e. the United States and allies together with Russia’s unanimous acknowledgment to shift from military position to active fruitful diplomacy is the need of the hour from several dimensions viz. the regional and global security standpoint, preventing unnecessary loss of civilian and defense personnel precious lives and averting serious economic liability in the prolonged standoff.
The western maneuver to surround Russia with NATO forces impetus Russian defense mechanism and other military strategy to protect territorial integrity as sovereign right. Simultaneously Russia’s troop deployment and military assets across Ukraine and Russia border including the northern side on Belarus sends a wrong message contradictory to Russia’s public statement on the political decision to de-escalate situation.
Russia’s military troops distribution around Ukraine in the aftermath of Russia and western representatives unsuccessful meeting on NATO withdrawal from Russian boundary and eastern bloc creates undesirable predicament for the citizens in Ukraine and Russia. The civilians and armed forces on both sides are forced into the conflation adding complexity to the otherwise containable crisis. There is a requirement on all sides to pull back from the current military position and engage in peaceful negotiations.
Why Russia’s current military plan is inimical to Russia in many facets?
The western thought on Russia’s earlier invasion and annexation of Crimea from Ukraine’s eastern peninsula in 2014 is the result of NATO further expansion in the region.
However, Russia’s explanation on Crimea is arguably otherwise. Russia citing Russian speaking citizens in Crimea fleeing their home town due to unrest erupting from western authorized violence in maidan square and subsequent government removal in Kiev in 2014 led to the pro-Russian separatists movement that are still prevalent in the eastern Donbas region in Ukraine.
The majority Russian speaking Crimean population then seeking the territory union with Russian Federation in the local referendum at that time led to the annexation.
In fact, “On 11 April 2014, the parliament of Crimea approved a new constitution, with 88 out of 100 lawmakers voting in favor of its adoption. The new constitution confirms the Republic of Crimea as a democratic state within the Russian Federation and declares both territories united and inseparable.”
Regardless, the western stance is Russia’s aggressive takeover of Crimea is unacceptable and accordingly Crimea not recognized as Russia’s territory by the west until now.
The truth lies somewhere in between on both sides of the argument. There is no doubt that NATO buildup in eastern Europe reaching Russia’s nearest territorial border i.e. Ukraine becoming the western target in 2014 and thereafter is the fundamental cause of the present crisis.
The western involved insurrection in 2014 continued with hostile overthrow of democratically elected then incumbent government of President Viktor Yanukovych fleeing for life and sought political refuge in Russia. The anti-democratic event held on global watch in 2014.
The intensive western influence and installation of Ukrainian governments not barring neo-nazi representation post western insurrection launched in Kiev in 2014 fomented internal economic and political strife for Ukrainians paying the price till date.
The ground reality in Ukraine in 2014 paved the way for Russia to seize opportunity to annex Crimea, undeniably the key strategic location for Russian naval base in the Black sea.
The Crimean republic joining the Russian federation might have been a major windfall for Russian defense strategy. Nevertheless, the territorial gain has not been without consequences for Russia. The western perspective on Crimea remains the compelling factor to increase NATO alliance against Russia with Ukraine as the rolling dice to perform to western demand on the other hand proved counterproductive so far.
Additionally, the western NATO extension also largely connected to the past with former nuclear Soviet Union sprawling authority over entire eastern Europe including the Balkan states and central Asia. Not to mention the liberation of east Germany with the removal of Berlin wall that separated the German territory from then west Germany not in a distant memory serve as the reminder in preventing history from repeating itself again.
The ex–Soviet Union quest for territorial conquest was not limited to central and eastern Europe. The desire to acquire more power and landmass misled the former Soviet Union to invade and occupy Afghanistan having centralized power in that part of the world i.e. Central Asia comprising Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan were annexed as the independent republics under Soviet central command and economy. The Soviet adventure in Afghanistan was catastrophic for the occupied Afghans as well as the occupier Soviet Union i.e. USSR with United States and Afghan mujahideen led battle resulting in Soviet withdrawal from Afghan soil.
Anything too big to control and manage eventually disintegrates with severe impact on the origin and in this instance Russia and Russians suffered significant economic, political and military setbacks that were inevitable. Once Soviet Union was debilitated in Afghan war, the house of cards crumbling on the Soviet empire followed sequentially with no option but to accept the reality i.e. Russia returning to home base to get the house in order that was in disarray in semblance with contemporary situation. There is a serious and important lesson to learn for Russian political leaderships from Russian history in the twentieth and twenty first century.
The equivalent of present dynamics in western and Russian stalemate regarding Ukraine is 1991 Kuwait invasion by then Iraq President Saddam Hussein. The miscalculated error from then Iraqi President Saddam Hussein failed to recognize the Kuwait trail was nothing more than a bait or decoy that trapped the once United States ally Iraqi President Saddam Hussein into wanton invasion of Kuwait. Little knowing that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s grave mistake set the track for the United States neo-conservatives and zionists as hawkish strategists to utilize that Iraqi invasion of Kuwait against Iraq later in 2003. Though the hawkish strategists used chemical weapons against Iraq as the convincing narrative in the United Nations to win general consensus on the illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003.
The United States and NATO attack on Iraq in 2003 implementing the pre-meditated and long anticipated Project for New American Century (PNAC) with Iraq among several crucial middle eastern, north African and central Asian nations such as Afghanistan on the card for the US and NATO brutal aggression witnessed worldwide. The United States and NATO warfare in these regions are yet to cease with direct and indirect weapons supply and logistic support delivered to nations in perpetual conflict such as to Saudi Arabia against Yemen and other factions in Libya, Syria, Lebanon and other groups engaged in perpetual confrontation.
The history is testament in this regard.
All said and done, the irrefutable fact is Russia’s contribution in the world stage in maintaining the balance of power in twentieth century in World War 1 and World War 2 is praiseworthy. Russia is a powerful nation with tremendous experience in glory and upheavals throughout history.
The Russian power is best enhanced in establishing democracy at home alongside peace and unity with neighbors like Ukraine and the rest of eastern Europe as well as central Asia. Russia’s commitment to sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity in the region and outside exemplified in permanent peace deal with Ukraine would preempt solidarity and renew normal ties with the neighbor across the border.
The idea of invasion and conquering nations near and far In the hope of revival of former empire status is obsolete and critically excruciating failure known up until now. The imperial and colonial quest drain the domestic economy with skyrocketing sovereign debt burdened on every man, woman and child including the ones yet to be born in the world.
The United States is classic example in this context. The invasion and occupation of foreign land in Afghanistan, Iraq and other parts of the world costing American taxpayers in trillions and the war veterans ending as homeless dwelling under the bridge and downtown areas in major American cities is heart wrenching sight.
Similarly, the nations under attack and occupied by major powers exhibiting military might and exhausting defense stockpiles are rendered refugees in their homeland. The population in these war torn nations are denied access to basic survival at home and neither accepted as political refugees in the aggressors’ land. The world has seen these events far too many times and still ongoing in many regions predominantly due to the misguided Superpower glamor equipped with nuclear status rejecting the adverse ramifications of such indulgence.
Russia’s current position as publicly clarified by the political leadership President Vladimir Putin ruling out invasion of Ukraine is welcome. The statement delivered in action by pulling the Russian troops back from Ukrainian boundary all around would be credible. The Russian positive steps in this respect would build reliable trust among citizens in Ukraine and international community.
Instead, the Russian political decision to surround Ukraine militarily as negotiation tool with the west on NATO incursion against Russia is basically aggravating the problem rather than resolving the issue. The actions always verify the intent than words in all matter.
Now the United States, European Union, the European Commission combined as the western front are in requirement to tone down the rhetoric on anti-Russian information fueling the dilemma. The western conditions and rules of engagement with a nuclear Russia seated at the UNSC as a permanent member with veto power deserve careful approach and respectful exchange synonymous to vice versa expectations from the west with Russia. The western policy using NATO to leverage against Russia upon being replicated by the latter through military armament against Ukraine is interestingly not appreciated.
The nation right at the center and primary victim in the entire western power versus Russian disagreement is Ukraine. The western and Russian equation comprising Ukraine as the constant factor would invariably yield negative result to both sides that are obviously beneficial to none especially Ukraine held hostage in the crisis.
The European Commission. public offer on economic package to Ukraine to the tune of 2 billion euros in three installments with a first one in the amount 1.2 billion euro followed by 600 million in the second and 200 million as the third installment payment could be very enticing for any economically struggling nation.
Unfortunately, the economic bargain on sovereignty of a nation in the present time appears to have been reduced to mere two billion or so in price tag. The economic incentive from European Commission upon being extended to Ukraine as unconditional monetary aid i.e. no obligation on Ukraine’s part to join NATO considering that is one of the issue for Russia in the national security concern, the economic deal would be more appropriate.
Alternatively, the European Commission or European Union returning the illegal funds held in tax shelters in Europe, the money transferred from corruption deals in Ukraine among oligarchy and other members within and outside Ukraine depriving Ukraine citizens the economic development in the country would be equitable.
Either way, the EU through EC providing economic assistance without any pressure or coercion on Ukraine to compromise national sovereignty by not having to be a NATO ally or submit to western geopolitical goals would be honorable.
Ukraine spared from traditional divide and conquer strategy familiar in the imperial past and present would be a new chapter in the era. The financial relief to the battered Ukrainian economy primarily due to foreign intrusions and corruption in domestic system is imperative more than anything else.
Russia and Ukraine working together in reconciling differences to mitigate the military interventions from all sides beginning with Russian forces retreat and NATO confinement away from Russian and neighboring territory is the path to peaceful settlement in the current stalemate in eastern Europe.
The peaceful resolution of Ukraine crisis is in the best interest of all parties and above all the regional stability anywhere in the world is tied to global peace and security.
The overzealous and capricious policy on international affairs has been unfavorable and perpetuated the impasse.
Hence all parties are urged to prioritize human lives, economic costs, sovereignty, self-determination of nations and territorial integrity in mutual respect and recognition of individual nations, regional and world peace.
Your attention and interest is much appreciated.
Thank you.

Ukraine – The Playground for Power Game
January 25, 2022
Ukraine – The Playground for Power Game
Padmini Arhant
When there are hegemonic goals in play as witnessed throughout twentieth and twenty first century, the strategic interests are dominant over mythical democratization of nations around the world.
The twenty first century has already presented far too many sequences in this regard using democracy as pretext to invade and destabilize nations in different parts of the world.
The real threat to democracy and democratic systems are not the ones defiantly against the idea of democracy and individual liberty for such mindset is adamantly clear about authoritarianism as the open legitimate authority to rule and control the population.
In fact, the doctrine endangering democracy and undermining democratic principles is the presumptuous concept of western democracy as idealistic and promoting western democracy in non-western regions of the world despite western democracy subjugation to globalists and deep state agenda in the west.
The unequivocal reality is reflected in status quo with western elections like in the United States subject to tech giants arbitrary censorship of public information on candidacy and political scandals. The western media and press in pace with tech oligarchy spare no opportunity to bar and ban truth and facts from the public domain.
The tradition installing pro-western governments and regimes in power regardless of adverse ramifications to citizens of any nation and geopolitical dynamics in the region to exclusively benefit western aspirations in every respect has failed and proved counterproductive thus far.
The western military and political interventions in Ukraine like in many parts of the world were no different in outcome i.e. toppling governments causing chaos and catastrophe leaving the population of those nations in worst political, economic and social crises.
Case in point – besides the twentieth century intrusions in Korean Peninsula, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia in South East Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East experiencing irreversible deaths and devastations lasting several generations until now.
The twenty first century western invasions – United States and NATO alliance in the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, Iraq in 2001 and 2003. The trend followed in Libya, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Mali and Ukraine in 2010 – 2016 were major military and political aggressions in foreign land.
The color revolutions such as the undemocratic Orange revolution in Ukraine in November 2004 until January 2005 was just the beginning of western overt foothold in Ukraine politics.
The repeat scenario in Kiev maidan square in Ukraine in February 2014 triggered by EU economic deal fallout with then incumbent Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych government prompting United States’ direct involvements rallying the protestors in foreign soil was a preview of the western authorized militant takeover of the sovereign nation in 2014.
The western interference was further extended into the removal of the sitting Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych visibly in world view at gun point from office capturing global dismay.
Notwithstanding the participation of fascists in the demonstrations in 2014 and neo-nazi government usurped to power entirely at United States and European Union behest hardly fit the definition of pro-democracy.
The United States bipartisan role in Ukraine in 2014 and thereafter with prominent political figures like the late Senator and former Republican Presidential candidate John McCain alongside the United States State department’s Victoria Nuland representing then democrat administration of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden inciting the unruly mob on maidan square in Kiev, Ukraine in 2014 forced then ruling government of President Viktor Yanukovych to flee Ukraine seeking refuge in neighboring Russia.
The political corruptions exposing ties between United States highest office holders, their family members and Ukrainian political members as well as oligarchy is an open secret that barley attracted media and United States Congress attention or interest.
Ukraine as a nation along with the people are in the crossfire with democracy having no relevance to forces in confrontation aiming to establish specific strategic and economic influence.
The western democracy campaigned in favor of self-determination to sovereignty and territorial integrity is yet to demonstrate policy in action unlike the events unraveled in Kiev, Ukraine in 2014.
On the other side, the Russian Federation troops deployment and military incursions around Ukraine is overzealous political decision in requirement of restraints replaced with rational approach.
The Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia’s focus on peaceful negotiations, diplomacy and dialogue with western trading partners in Europe as consumers of Russia’s natural gas and United States representatives committed to peaceful resolutions averting protracted warfare would be welcome among Ukrainian and Russian citizens held hostage in the unnecessary conflict.
Any nation’s greatness is achieved in resolving and ending rising tensions with those near and far rather than engage in diffusion.
The two vastly nuclear powered Russia and the United States along with European allies working towards de-escalating situation in Ukraine is paramount for Ukraine sovereignty and stability.
The global peace and security is also a matter of great concern with the ongoing developments in Ukraine involving Russia and the United States as well as allies in the region.
Importantly, the pandemic related health and economic calamity having wreaked havoc on humanity, the warfare has no place or the option in the misguided political disagreements.
The military operations are costly and deadly with irrecoverable loss in lives and economic liability.
Ukraine’s sovereignty and independence is legitimate and merit recognition barring external coercion and hostility.
Ukraine commitment to transparency and fighting corruption within and outside with foreign sources would alleviate economic struggles for the citizens having suffered long enough from political instability caused by foreign meddling.
The citizens in western and eastern Ukraine as one nation and citizens in Russia deserve peaceful co-existence maintaining good economic, political and cultural relations benefiting each other and the rest in eastern Europe.
Finally, Ukraine or any other nation in the world could no longer be the playground for power game among political thoughts vying for regional and Super power status.
Wishing peace, progress and prosperity over stalemate bringing relief and recovery for the people in Ukraine and Russia.

Ukraine – Crimea Secession And Western De facto Representation in Kiev Is Opportunism
March 15, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
The current developments in Ukraine emanating from EU response to President Viktor Yanukovych decision to decline the Association Agreement with EU and subsequently,
United States as well as EU backed coup against democratically elected government has unraveled events much to sponsors dismay and Ukrainians despair.
EU and United States organized anti-government protests since November 2013 up until removal of President Yanukovych in late February 2014 not only led to deaths and destruction of a sovereign nation but also facilitated extremism.
The unsavory emergence forging alliance with apparently pro-Nazi and fascists elements confirmed to be behind sniper and grenade attacks against police and protesters during demonstration.
The interim representatives in Kiev having driven elected members in Ukraine Parliament and President Yanukovych administration using threats and violence do not have any recognition among Ukrainians and global society.
Aside from not respecting sovereignty, the national constitution governing democratic principles seriously violated in this instance.
Such representation tantamount to proxy rule benefitting forces with vested interests leaving Ukraine citizens beguiled of political and economic freedom.
The members in position of authority at present as opposition groups earlier defaulted in the EU brokered agreement with President Viktor Yanukovych and escalated tensions in public square to deflect attention from real motives to derail democracy in Ukraine.
Despite certain political leaderships in the United States and EU support to the illegitimate and extraneous government in Kiev,
The lack of credibility being the defining character amongst prevalent EU and United States de facto arguably disqualifies them from the self-proclaimed title as governing body in Kiev.
Hence the hired political faction in Kiev to implement EU and United States agenda do not possess electoral mandate or consent to sign any deal with EU or United States and attempts in this regard would further clarify allegiance to foreign sources at Ukraine’s detriment constituting treasonous act.
Not to mention the subjugation of population as a result from EC, ECB and IMF viz. the Troika financial offers designed for generational indebtedness replicating EU states experience with no sign of recovery.
The viable solution to burgeoning crises in Ukraine is to reinstate President Viktor Yanukovych government to restore law and order along with stability eliminating security concerns across the country that has prompted Crimea secession process.
Crimea in the southeastern region of Ukraine initially set up as semi-autonomous territory nonetheless binding with Ukraine constitution recently declared independence through haste political overhaul electing pro Russian premier Sergei Aksyonov and Parliament motion to hold referendum on joining the Russian Federation.
Crimea also hosting Russian naval fleet in Black Sea with treaty allowing the guest troops presence not exceeding 25,000 utilized with Russian deployment in the range of 16,000 presumably to defend Russian assets and crew including residents in the Crimean peninsula claiming Russian lineage.
The situation in Crimea unequivocally attributed to unrest in Kiev and undemocratic dismissal of President Yanukovych government sparking widespread clashes in the sensitive areas of Crimea and eastern city Donetsk.
Russia’s overture welcoming Crimean Parliamentary approval on plebiscite for union with former alluding to the latter right to exercise discretion as independent state could provide opportunity for the eastern region in Ukraine to follow suit setting precedence in deserting Ukraine amid chaos and confusion inevitably affecting neighbors peaceful existence.
Instead of subscribing to frantic efforts on Crimea, Russian and Crimean leadership skills could perhaps serve positively upon pursuing constructive course to revive Ukraine’s democracy under siege and perseverance in restoring political legitimacy via President Viktor Yanukovych headed government.
Besides slighting Ukraine’s constitutionality in Crimea’s transition, the expedited vote on amalgamation with Russia lay overcast on Russian President Vladimir Putin assurance to the world at the press conference in honoring Ukraine’s territorial integrity.
The latest measures in Crimea generate unnecessary perception of Russian influence to modify geopolitical landscape although the trendsetters in Kiev share responsibility for the quagmire.
In the ongoing political upheaval, Ukrainians are expected to pay unaffordable price with major powers evidently anchored on respective goals in defiance of Ukraine as the republic.
Crimea moving forward with politically motivated action to secede from Ukraine is counterproductive enabling pretexts for more turbulence in the otherwise preventable turmoil.
The safe passage for Ukraine is solidarity in rejecting status quo in Kiev and invite President Viktor Yanukovych to resume power fulfilling complete term in office required to address issues confronting the embattled nation.
Accordingly Crimea abandoning separatist plan to merge with Russia and contributing to Ukraine’s liberty from external intervention would thwart uncertainties surrounding Ukraine and entire region.
Again prioritizing Crimean aspirations over pervasive progress and tranquility may not guarantee desirable outcome.
Crimea and Kiev are integral part of Ukraine.
The foreign interference with unelected authorities in Kiev and simultaneously Crimean swift relocation within Russian confines exacerbate Ukraine’s vulnerability to opportunism.
Hopefully Ukrainian discernment and resolve to free Ukraine from foreign intrusion would prevail in Kiev, Crimea and the rest of the nation.
Best Wishes to people in Ukraine in protecting their homeland from partition and vassal statehood.
Peace to Ukraine!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Ukraine – One Nation, Independent and Indivisible With Liberty And Justice For All
February 28, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
The political mayhem in Ukraine due to EU and United States intrusion for ulterior motives viz. debt slavery and strategic dominance in the region deserves Ukrainians attention and solidarity in defending sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Imperialism modus operandi is polarization, subjugation and depravation leaving the nation at oligarchy and plutocracy mercy as experienced amongst EU and United States citizens under the guise of democracy legitimized through election – the process exercised as catharsis.
EU and United States appointed illegitimate government premised on violence causing death and destruction is now engaged in marginalization and disenfranchisement of ethnic groups in the country.
The empty promises from EU representatives portraying EU as savior when the member states (PIGS) – Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain among many others in the Union are in severe economic recession.
EU, ECB, EC and IMF prescription to ailing European economy driving citizens in Greece, Italy and Spain…to commit suicide in public square is testimony to Troika policy failure.
Besides extreme economic conditions across Europe, EU, ECB and IMF signature austerity measure evidently stranglehold on nations like Greece, Spain, Italy and France with record unemployment and nearly zero economic growth under EU mismanagement.
EU having contributed to existing members burgeoning financial and economic woes engaged in luring new memberships in Eastern Europe deploying unscrupulous tactics such as in Ukraine.
Additionally EU’s actions thus far involves fomenting violence in Libya when France and Britain under NATO along with United States using humanitarian assistance as pretext carried out relentless air raid then pursued Syria with proxy war followed by illegal invasion of minerals rich nations in Africa viz. Mali and Central African Republic and now causing political turmoil in Ukraine.
The western intelligence agencies especially CIA, MI5, MI6 and Mossad in alliance with allies and adversaries counterparts maintain the tradition of organized crime with immunity.
Furthermore the ominously disorganized, erratic and out of control intelligence apparatus responsible for human suffering predisposed to exclusive service to corrupt and criminal enterprise and misused by those in position of authority.
Accordingly the broken system facing extinction analogous to dying machinery becoming symptomatically dysfunctional endangering operator and users alike.
The situation in Ukraine aimed at fragmentation with ethnic clashes erupting in the western, eastern and semi-autonomous southern region i.e. Crimea hosting Russian naval fleet on the Black Sea and latest developments in this location suggestive of autonomy in jeopardy.
The ongoing tensions could be eventually costly and counterproductive for purveyors and participants of unrest.
Ukrainians rejecting EU and United States launched unconstitutional and undemocratic proxy rule in Kiev and restoring democratically elected government headed by President Viktor Yanukovych would exemplify population pledge to democracy similar to popular intervention against foreign coup in Venezuela and Ecuador in the unsuccesful attempt to remove late President Hugo Chavez and incumbent President Rafael Correa respectively.
The foreign intrusions in Ukraine for vested interests bear ill consequences already unfolding in national detriment and largely attributed to external forces recruited provocateurs and saboteurs of truce declared between President Yanukovych and the opposition.
Violent usurpation to power allowing foreign control in internal affairs is surrender of sovereignty to belligerence.
Ukraine gained freedom from foreign occupation after many martyrs sacrifice and losing the hard earned status today on the basis of false economic assurances from EU- the Union barely surviving given diminishing prospects owed to deception and exploitation.
Ukraine belongs to all Ukrainians regardless of cultural diversity and languages spoken in different parts of the country.
The nation that resolves political, economic, social and environment concerns in a civilized and constructive manner in adherence to democratic principles and constitutionality barring foreign interference would demonstrate maturity and commitment to overcome challenges without compromising stability and national security.
Ukraine coming together as one nation – independent and indivisible could perhaps guarantee liberty and justice for all.
Best Wishes to Ukraine citizens for peaceful recovery from foreign opportunists manufactured crises.
Peace to Ukraine!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

FASCISM WRIT LARGE AS THE SO-CALLED DEMOCRAT
FYI : California Franchise Tax Board
Sacramento, CA
For the umpteenth time – Please refer to the third letter dated June 13, 2024 received by you with signed delivery confirmation. The letter with proof of tax payment on August 23, 2023 with 2022 tax return e-filing, bank confirmation on the payment and email references were all enclosed for your reference and settlement on this matter.
Yet, for political reasons the weaponization of taxpayer funded State and federal departments and agencies trending since 2009 – 2016 against then Republican Tea Party by Barack Obama in personal vendetta against them for questioning Barry Soetoro’s birth certificate was responded with terminating the Republican Tea Party in the first term in 2012. It was just the tip of the iceberg.
The trend then continued against political opponent Donald Trump from impeachment proceedings to libel suits with no end in sight.
Similar tactics deployed against me and my family by the same members i. e. The OBAMAS having abused and continue to use and abuse our presence, profile and all things politically and personally exclusively beneficial to them from DAY ONE until now by tagging, trolling, pirating anything positive and impressive for image enhancement despite being warned to cease and desist.
Notwithstanding thousands of $$$ fraudulently amassed from us by the fleecing scammers, abusers and parasitic exploiters till date make them indebted to me personally and my family.
Politics’ underhanded bullying and harassment is sheer desperation in the face of own extinction.
If you can’t express gratitude as the chief beneficiaries of our timeless sacrifice and benevolence, the least you could do is abandon the self-destructive attitude hurting you in the attempt to harm others.
By the way – nothing to do with Angel Reese and anyone with Brown last name in your nuanced attacks directed at me. They are all yours and you can keep them.
That goes for Kamala Harris – the name Kamala adopted from my explanation of my first name conveniently plagiarized for political and fortune harvesting in your end game once again for en masse deception like in 2009 – 2016.
The same resumed in 2021 – 2024 with blatant intention to extend the sham indefinitely with ludicrous WOKISM.
Originality and FAKE distinction is authenticity never in requirement to be anything other than true self unlike the impostor ever remaining fraudsters in vain.

Character Not Color That Ever Matters
Lord Ram emphasized on deeds aka Karma not creed that matter in living and after life.Dr. King – related to that by echoing the content of the character not color that matters.
It’s time to move towards clear aka colorless society and nurture the importance of deeds with merit and virtues instead of remaining stuck in color coding society. Such trend only reveal opportunism with polarization rather than unity and harmony amongst human race.

Organic Intelligence Erring!
The ones flaunting the so-called organic intelligence with constant jibes at the allegedly artificial intelligence could perhaps seek assistance from the latter in spelling adjectives correctly to make sense of the message. Even basic spell check feature would serve the requirement.
The country is indeed precious not prescious than any individual, entity, political party, institution and organization.
Needless to say, it is applicable all around without exception.
Unlike the trend, smothered in hypocrisy beckoning others to do what is apparently unacceptable to selves to the extent of blasphemy.
