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
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.
