The sad reality is that the money these govts spend on Military / warfare - if they only used it to uplift the citizens in their own country (this is especially true for both India & Pak); these countries would’ve been out of the third world category for sure.
The West will always play proxy war in different countries but never their own land ... there are only a few places where they’ve done good : Kosovo is all that comes to mind.
On a positive note... it was after years and decades of wars European countries finally formed EU realizing they’re strong together than individual ... I just hope South Asia follows the same pattern.
I have my personal issues with media these days ... they’re talking about Afghanistan like US went there to liberate the ppl ... sorry but they also murdered thousands of innocent Afghans with their drone etc attacks ... they’re showing about human rights Concerns here but completely oblivious to Palestine & other parts of the world. Iraq is in a state of civil unrest since they invaded ... they wanted to get rid of Saddam ... great ... then install democracy where they’re used to a monarchy system ... they’ve made a mess everywhere in Middle East but only showing what fits their agenda. Also human rights n all, yet they have that infamous prison GB where ppl were not even trialed.
I don’t want to get further into politics of it - but I hate the hypocrisy In the value of human life. It’s like one is more important than the other. At the end of the day every innocent life lost matters regardless.
(Ps sorry for the long bhashan... my friends call me UN lol cuz of my neutrality and views)
@bold - wherever money is spent - there are some people who profit in war too - be it power, politics or the business side of it.
Ofcourse, the US had its own agenda in entering Afganistan and everywhere else
they get into a country without understanding the history and culture.. devastate it completely and leave..they are going to pay heavily in the future for what hey have done..
.. they created the Mujahideen - they created a monster - now everyone shall pay for it.. Pakistan supported Taliban and Al Qaeda too - and its not like terrorists aren't bombing their country - its a nuisance they created for the entire world. US just likes to create a narrative that they are saviours through media and their movies.. which is not true at all.. as Indians, its a major concern for us.. we are surrounded by enemies now.
IDK - I have an intuition - we are on a brink where the world is changing ... and we don't even realise it..
If we look at history - epidemics and wars went hand in hand..
For some reason I just feel that the world is become a darker place....
