There are no Russian, Chinese, or for that matter Iranian military bases anywhere near the US, yet the devilish Yankees have militarized countries around the three named Asian powers.

Not a day passes when Washington doesn’t disturb the peace of world countries, as is evident by the illegal presence of American troops all over the globe.

This hegemony has to be curtailed, and as observers point out, American lawlessness cannot be allowed to destabilize international relations and global peace.

We do not condone the current military operation in Ukraine by Russia, which says it had to act in order to thwart US bid to dangerously militarize that country through NATO and possible placement of nuclear warheads.

We are also not in a position to condemn President Vladimir Putin’s decision, especially when we recall what had happened sixty years ago in 1962 when the US, following the failure of its Bay of Pigs invasion of communist Cuba, mischievously installed the Jupiter atomic missiles in Turkey to provoke the Soviet Union, and the latter countered by dispatching its own atomic armaments to Cuba – barely 140 km from Florida.

After a tense month and four days when the world was fearful of the Cold War turning into an atomic war, the US had to eat the humble pie by dismantling and removing its Jupiter missiles in Turkey and the USSR also removed its atomic projectiles from Cuba. 

It was secret talks between the US president, John Kennedy, and the Soviet leader, Nikita Khrushchev, that defused the dangerous crisis, all of which indicates the possibility of a similar scenario being staged by Washington and Moscow in Ukraine to try to get the upper hand over the other.

Whatever the truth behind the current crisis, the fact cannot be denied that Russia’s military action has caught the West off guard, and neither the US nor NATO can dare send any troops or military equipment into Ukraine.

Our sympathies are with the people of Ukraine who should not be pawns in the big power games, but we cannot say Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a comedian of Jewish extraction, is not to be blamed for war and bloodshed. 

This means the US has not given up its devilish plans to cause misery to the Ukrainian people through other means, if not open confrontation with the Russians.

According to reports, the Americans are stealthily airlifting the macabrely murderous Daesh terrorists from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, into East European countries and mercenaries from various parts of the world for possible infiltration into Ukraine.

The plan is not to confront the Russian military which will most certainly decimate the dastardly Daesh terrorists, but is to carry out terrorist blasts at Ukrainian bases in a bid to blame Moscow for the deteriorating security situation.

The terrorists have been instructed to target the vulnerable sections of the country as well, including some of the foreign students whom panic has overtaken and are trying to flee.

We hope that once the situation has been brought under control and the American and West European agents are weeded out, the Russian army will withdraw after ensuring continuation of the democratic process for election of Ukrainian patriots to the presidency and the parliament, rather than leave a brotherly neighbour to its fate, to be bullied by NATO.
