For 70 Years The People of Pakistan Have Been Fighting For Democracy, But The Strong US Military Alliance With Pakistan Has Always Sabotaged Democracy in Pakistan

For 70 Years The People of Pakistan Have Been Fighting For Democracy, But The Strong US Military Alliance With Pakistan Has Always Sabotaged Democracy in Pakistan 

It is called foreign interference, democracy is damaged, the economy is destroyed, institutions are in Chaos, and the country is a tornado, the more corrupt rulers occupy the country

  The Summit on Democracy was an initiative of President Biden. It had its first virtual Summit in December 2021 due to Covid-19 and last year it was supposed to have an in-person summit, but it was canceled due to the Ukraine war. Now the Summit on Democracy is happening in Washington in which 120 countries are participating. Now it is to be seen how many new countries have come under the democratic system since the first Summit on Democracy, how many countries are stuck in the democratic process, how many countries have left the democratic process, and how many countries have democracy depreciated. The nationalist Hindu government in India has depreciated democracy. Freedom of the press is under attack in India. Minorities have become second-class citizens. Right-wing extremist Jews are trying to establish control over the judiciary in Israel. The judiciary is the front line to protect the political rights and democratic freedoms of the people. The people of Israel are strongly resisting the government’s ambitions. The government will not be able to face the resistance of the people. The Netanyahu government will end, and new elections will be held in the summer. Democracy is for the people, for the people, and the people are the defenders of democracy.

  The people in Pakistan have been fighting for democracy and the Palestinian people in Palestine have been fighting for freedom for 70 years. The Palestinians have not got freedom, and if the people of Pakistan had democracy, America would have intervened, Democracy was overthrown and military rule was established. People’s fight for democracy started again. In this way, 70 years of the people of Pakistan will be spent in the fight for democracy. US-Pakistan close military ties have harmed democracy in Pakistan, and this is a fact. If these close ties had been political and economic, Pakistan would have been a very different country.   

  President George Bush should not have been involved in Pakistan’s internal politics. President Bush used the most corrupt leaders of Pakistan only in the interest of America, and to end their corruption cases. Pakistan’s sovereign laws and courts were bypassed. With the intervention of President Bush, it was seen that Pakistan has become the 52nd state of America. These leaders were involved in money laundering and embezzlement and were on the run from the country. The US President had asked President Pervez Musharraf to pardon these people and allow them to participate in politics. These were habitually corrupt leaders. President Bush gave these leaders a favor because he knew how to use them. But it was a disgrace for the people of Pakistan. In the past, these leaders were removed from power several times on corruption charges, but they had an addiction to corruption. Asif Zardari was sentenced by the Swiss court in the money laundering case. The Bush administration imposed these corrupt criminals on the people of Pakistan in the interest of US foreign policy and removed the military dictator from power and told the army that they would fight the terrorists. Because the leaders had a criminal mindset, they did not say that they would not fight them, and will eliminate them through politics. The Bush administration was giving millions of dollars to the government to fight terrorists. Greedy leaders of Pakistan also saw their big commission in fighting this war.

  There will be leaders in the world who will fight the war of others in their country, 80 thousand of their citizens died in this war, and lost 100 billion dollars to the national treasury, and the people again elect them with a huge majority? Bilawal Zardari was making a big fuss that Imran Khan was selected as Prime Minister. But the fact was Imran Khan won with a majority at that time. It was Khawaja Asif who was losing the election and he called Army Chief General Bajwa and said do something, I am losing the election, and General Bajwa made Khawaja Asif successful in the election. This was told by General Bajwa himself in an interview.

  If Donald Trump had been elected as president, democracy would have survived in Pakistan. Corrupt leaders in Pakistan were expecting that if Joe Biden is elected, they will be in power again and Imran Khan if not hanged, will be jailed. Leaders whose corruption cases were written off by President Bush and given NRO, of them were now facing new corruption cases. Nawaz Sharif has been sentenced by the Supreme Court after the revelations of corruption in the Panama Papers and fled the country. Asif Zardari, Shahbaz Sharif, and many others were all on bail, and their cases were in the Courts. And they were waiting for Joe Biden to become president? Like President Bush, President Biden did not give them NRO but advised them to help themselves. Shahbaz Sharif and Zardari have settled matters with Army Chief General Bajwa, but there has been a transaction of dollars in it? What was offered to Bajwa? After all, these most corrupt and despicable people were to power by the Supreme Court in the middle of the night. General Bajwa could not have carried out this conspiracy without outside hands. Pakistan has a history of sabotaging democracy. Those who are now in power are die-hard supporters of General Zia ul Haq’s jihadist policies. In 1990, Nawaz Sharif’s party had an alliance with Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. And at that time, they used them against Benazir Bhutto. Nawaz Sharif used to fund his election campaign by taking thousands of dollars from Bin Laden to defeat Benazir Bhutto in the election, and today the administration is using these leaders either to end democracy in Pakistan or they are being asked to eliminate Imran Khan from Pakistan’s politics. The army has been given the task of sitting back and pulling its strings. What will be the end game? America has neither started wars thinking what will be the end game, nor are the overthrow of governments thinking what will be their end game. This is called foreign meddling. The democratic political system is crumbling in Pakistan, Pakistan’s economy is destroyed, and Pakistan is in severe chaos, and dangerous instability.

Middle East: Saudi Arabia-Iran, The Decision to Restore Relations Is a Positive Direction, This Will Bring Stability to the Region, and the Security Will End Depending on Foreign Powers

Middle East: Saudi Arabia-Iran, The Decision to Restore Relations Is a Positive Direction, This Will Bring Stability to the Region, and the Security Will End Depending on Foreign Powers

  The best security is in good relations with neighbors. The restoration of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran will help the security problem not only in Saudi Arabia and Iran but also in the region’s security. The security issues are further aggravated by the dependence of security on weapons. An arms race begins among neighbors. National resources are wasted, and the talk turns to the issue of security. In today’s world, peace, stability, economic development, and security are local and regional issues. Those who come from thousands of miles away to solve security problems create new security problems. The tension in Saudi Arabia-Iran, regime change in Iraq, in Syria Basher al-Assad has to go, regime change in Libya, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict which will never be resolved were created by those who came here to remove security threats. There are US Navy and Air Force bases in the Gulf. But despite this, there were security threats in this region. Then billions of dollars worth of weapons was sold to the Gulf governments to defend themselves. Weapons make enemies, not friends. Because then weapons are used and new weapons are bought. Saddam Hussein first intimidated Arab rulers. Then more weapons are sold to them. And when Saddam Hussein's regime was overthrown, Iran became a dangerous enemy of the Arabs. This region was divided into Shia and Sunni, now Arabs were more threatened by Iran and used to sell more arms. The Arabs did not have enough sense that many Shias were living in their own countries. And the two Shia countries of Iraq and Iran were their neighbors. But hostility towards Iran is not understood. However, it can be said that Israel was hostile to Iran, and used to support the Palestinians. Iran helped Hezbollah in the war with Israel in Lebanon. It was Israel’s first war with an Arab country in which it was defeated, and the Israeli forces had to withdraw from the Baqa valley in Lebanon. That is why Israel, together with the United States, made Iran an enemy to keep it away from the Arabs whose territories were under military occupation by Israel. The politics of Israel is now bankrupt.

  What did America achieve from the pre-emptive invasion of Iraq? When CIA officials reported to President Bush that there were no lethal weapons in Iraq, President Bush did not delay in attacking Iraq and American troops entered Baghdad. The invasion of Iraq, a sovereign country, was illegal, as Secretary-General Kofi Annan said. Now 20 years later, CIA officials who were involved in Iraq policy are saying that we told President Bush that there were no WMD in Iraq and that an attack on Iraq would have dire consequences. The Attack on Iraq was a mistake.

  The US invasion of Iraq ruined the lives of innocent Iraqis. Thousands of Iraqi families were destroyed. One hundred thousand Iraqis were killed in this attack. Three million Iraqis are in refugee camps in different countries of the world. The way American soldiers tortured Iraqis in Abu Ghraib prison is a dark stain on the legacy of the Bush administration’s invasion of Iraq. This was part two of the Holocaust in Iraq. Ten years of extremely inhumane economic blockades were imposed on Iraq, from which thousands of Iraqis died. 500,000 infants died shortly after birth because of the shortage of everything in hospitals due to the economic blockades. What Iraq had developed in 30-40 years had turned into ruins. Iraq has gone 50 years behind in education, science, engineering medicine. The upper-middle class country had reached the poverty line. During Saddam Hussein’s reign, Iraqis used to come to America for higher education. And now Iraqis are driving taxis in America. 20 years after the US invasion of Iraq, Iraq is still not back to where it was in 2003. It is the tragedy of this region that the intervention of external powers has caused the destruction of countries and misery for humanity.

Abraham Accord Did Not Bring Freedom to The Palestinians, The Palestinians are Still in a Wretched Condition Under Israeli Military Occupation

Israeli Settlers' attacks Surge against Palestinians in occupied West Bank

Jewish Settlers 

Jewish Settlers



  Where are the foreign ministers of the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain who stood on the balcony of the White House with Netanyahu and assuring the Palestinians that establishing relations with Israel would help solve the Palestinian problem? In two months this year alone, the Israeli army has killed seventy Palestinians while thirteen Israeli settlers have been killed. The Israeli army always has the upper hand in killing Palestinians. There has been no reduction in Palestinian deaths since the Abraham Accords. Building new Jewish settlements in the midst of densely populated Palestinian territories by occupying lands is adding new conflict to an old conflict. Jewish settlers set fire to Palestinian businesses and cars in Hawara, a village in the West Bank. The Settlers and West Bank Affairs' most extreme anti-Palestinian Minister of Netanyahu’s cabinet called for the demolition of Hawara Village. There was a strong reaction to this statement by the Minister of Settlers and West Bank Affairs. The United States condemned the Israeli minister’s statement. The Secretary General of the United Nations and European Union also condemned the Israeli minister’s statement. The cabinet minister later said that he had not used the word correctly. Prime Minister Netanyahu apologized for this and said that he had made a mistake in the use of words.

  It seems that Israel is going off the track of democracy. The Israeli cabinet is dominated by religious extremists who are trying to replace Israel’s liberal judicial system and want to replace it with a weak judicial system, in which the judges will not be given much authority. Israelis and American Jews are not happy about it. There are overwhelming protests the Netanyahu’s coalition government. In order to divert the attention of the world media from it, the minister of the Israeli cabinet made a statement against the Palestinians and tried to create tension in the situation. Though, even before this, the Israeli leader and even Prime Minister Netanyahu himself have been talking about pushing the Palestinians into the Jordan River. Ariel Sharon used to talk about sending Palestinians to Arab countries. Netanyahu has treated Palestinian with an iron fist whenever he came to power, and Police brutality increases. More than 700 Palestinians die in Israeli military brutality under Netanyahu’s regime.

  Arab rulers are close allies of the US and the West. Billions of Arab Petro-dollars are invested in the economy of these countries. They buy billions of dollars worth of arms from America and Europe and run their arms industries, where thousands of people work. But it is a tragedy that these Arab rulers have not been able to resolve the Palestine conflict in 70 years. In 70 years, America and Europe have made Israel a military power in the Middle East. They sell billions of dollars worth of arms to the Arab rulers, but the Arabs are still weak compared to Israel. America’s Arab allies have never told America that we are always with the United States in solving global conflicts. And America must now find a permanent solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Otherwise, there is no purpose for us to be a unilateral alliance. How is it possible for Arabs that Israel is occupying Arab lands and Arab rulers are establishing relations with Israel? This will be a great victory for Israel. Israel has not yet given up an inch of Arab land and Israel has diplomatic relations with Arab countries. And now Netanyahu insisting on establishing ties with Saudi Arabia. Twenty years ago, the late Saudi King Abdullah announced at the end of the Arab League summit in Beirut that the Arab countries were ready to establish relations with Israel if Israel goes back to the borders before the 1967 war and gives back the land to the Arabs, and recognize the establishment of a Palestinian state under the two-state formula. Saudi Arabia should be implemented this Arab League declaration before establishing diplomatic relations with Israel.

 Eight Arab countries have established diplomatic relations with Israel, but the core issue of the Arab-Israel conflict remains and there has been no progress in its resolution. What peace did the Arab world get when Egypt established relations with Israel? Jordan had established relations with Israel had the Palestinians been given freedom of movement? The benefit of relations with these Arab countries was only one-sided and was in the interest of Israel.

Are Wars Autocratic? Or Are Democracies? From the US Proxy War Against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan To The US and NATO Proxy War Against Russia in Ukraine

Are Wars Autocratic? Or Are Democracies? From the US Proxy War Against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan To The US and NATO Proxy War Against Russia in Ukraine

President Joe Biden "Kyiv Stands Strong, Kyiv Stand proud most important Kyiv Stand Free"

President Zelensky "weapons supplied by Western allies were finally working"



  President Joe Biden stood with President Zelensky in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, a year after the Ukraine war, and told him, “Kyiv is standing and Ukraine is standing, democracy is standing.” President Biden said, “It’s between democracy and autocracy. It is a fight.” Then President Biden went to Poland, which is a neighbor of Ukraine and thousands of Ukrainians are in refugee camps here, seeing and hearing President Biden Ukraine and then in Poland, 1980’s Afghanistan came to the fore when Soviet troops came to Afghanistan. President Jimmy Carter’s national security adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, was a Polish American and he was the first to meet the Afghans at the Pakistan-Afghan border, and said to them “Your Cause is right and God is on your side.” Then President Reagan’s Vice President George H. Bush came to the Pakistan-Afghan border and addressed the Afghan refugees and assured them that the United States would help them liberate Afghanistan from communist forces. It has been thirty years since the end of the Cold War, but the United States is still walking through the same streets of the Cold War. The only interesting thing was that the Ukrainians were in the government and in Communist Party in the Soviet Union. And was their decision to send troops to Afghanistan. Now the Ukrainians are at war with Russia. The US has left the Afghan war and joined the war with the Ukrainians against Russia. The only break between these two wars was that America orbited the moon.

  America has always been quick to start wars. On starting the Iraq war, the Bush administration said that we will do surgery in Iraq and come back. But it took 14 years for America to come back from Iraq. While attacking Afghanistan, it was said that they would eliminate the Taliban in Afghanistan and return. But it took twenty years to return from Afghanistan. In Yemen, President Bush launched a war against terrorism. Eight years later, President Bush handed over the war in Yemen to President Obama to end the war. Then eight years later, President Obama handed over this Yemen war to Saudi Arabia, saying they would end the rest of the war. The war against terrorism was America’s war. Terrorists had attacked America, but more than a dozen countries had become victims of America’s war on terror and now they will keep fighting with terrorists, perhaps, forever. Those who wage wars and resolve conflicts through wars are also autocrats. Wars have no place in a democracy. Democracy is related to human rights and wars violate human rights.

  Until recently, Ukraine had a democratic government and there was no conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the relationship between them was very cordial. From the second day after the US-brand democracy came to Ukraine, the relations between Russia and Ukraine have been strained. To make tension among them permanent, they started selling weapons to Ukraine. Ukraine was on the path to autocracy. When weapons Arrive, they were also used, and these weapons were being used in Eastern Ukraine to suppress the rebellion of Ukrainian Russians. These Russians wanted autonomy for themselves. The US-trained Ukrainian army killed 14 thousand of Russians in the operation against rebellious Russians. With Russia’s efforts Germany, France, the European Union, and the US made the Minsk agreement with Ukraine to end the civil war in Eastern Ukraine. In which it was asked to give autonomy to the Russians in Eastern Ukraine. This agreement was signed by all, including Ukraine. But this agreement was not implemented by the government of Ukraine. President Putin continued to ask the Ukrainian government to implement the Minsk agreement until the end. French President Emmanuel Macron also agreed with President Putin that the Minsk agreement should be implemented.

  The Ukraine war could have been avoided if the Minsk agreement had been implemented if Volodymyr Zelensky had not been the president of Ukraine. If NATO does not throw its leg in the Ukraine-Russia conflict if the senators of the US democracy do not demand their administration to provide immediate weapons to Ukraine and instead, insist on a peaceful solution within the limits of democracy. But autocracy is preferred over democracy. The use of arms and war is autocracy. The Biden administration and the European Union had said that the Ukraine war ends in three months, but this war has now come to a year.
