If Russia is wrong over Ukraine then US-NATO too were wrong on Afghanistan & Iraq

 If Russian action on Ukraine is wrong then wasn’t US-NATO                       action on Afghanistan, Iraq & Syria wrong?

Russian invasion of Ukraine

It has been a month since Russia started its invasion of Ukraine to ensure its own borders’ safety. Whatever Russia did was just to make sure that Ukraine doesn’t join NATO that would have brought NATO troops on Russia’s doorsteps. Many European countries think that Russian action is wrong but my question to all of them is- won’t they stop a rival country from joining a particular military group that would bring that group’s combined troops to their country’s border? 

    US army in Iraq

The whole European Union & NATO member countries are acting like salves to their masters US & UK. One order by US and they all became ready to send high-tech anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons to aid Ukraine’s army. One order by the current US president and all of them readily banned Russian goods and canceled their trade & businesses with Russia. Isn’t that a violation of international trade? 

US invasion of Afghanistan

They are all criticizing Russian attack on Ukraine & are calling it a “wrong act of war”. Where were they when US invaded Afghanistan first & later Iraq & recently Syria? Why did NATO member countries join US invasion of Afghanistan & Iraq? Weren’t they wrong back then in all 3 cases? 

US troops in Iraq
Why didn’t the European Union and NATO member countries stop buying oil and gas from US when it had invaded Afghanistan & Iraq? Why didn’t they ban all kinds of trades and businesses with US back then? When the duo of European Union & NATO didn’t ban US completely in the past, how then can they ban Russia now? When both the groups didn’t consider the US “act of war” wrong in the past, how then are they considering it wrong in case of Russia? 

US invasion of Iraq

Instead of siding with US, European Union & NATO member countries should distance themselves from US & continue their normal trade & business ties with Russia. This is a dispute between 2 countries namely Russia & Ukraine. Neither US nor European Union & NATO have anything to do with it. They should stop playing slaves to US & obeying its orders.

Indian Navy needs a variety & quantity upgrade in submarines

Image
By: Kartikeya Semwal Conventional submarine  Indian Navy is the world’s 7 th largest navy in the world with 294 warships. While our biggest enemy China is ranked 2 nd largest with 730 warships of different types. This is a cause of concern as we aren’t even half of our enemy. In the last 1 decade, under Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji & Raksha mantri Shri Rajnath Singh ji, our navy has added many warships to its fleet, yet a lot more needs to be done. China has a large number of different types of submarines ranging from conventional to nuclear. The advantage that they have is that they are building their own submarines & that too, at a fast pace. Contrast to that India doesn’t makes its own conventional submarines. And there is a huge gap in this category. China has 48 conventional submarines which means that it can deploy as many of them to watch or surround Indian Ocean region (IOR) while India has only 16 conventional submarines. Those too are the old Russian Kil...

Rebuilding IAF for future wars: More Rafels, Tejas Mk-2, AMCA needed

Image
  Indian Airforce has played an important role in guarding India for decades. From time to time, it has showcased its importance ranging from Indo-Pak wars to Bangladesh’s independence war to Kargil war. A few years back, IAF’s prowess could also be seen through Balakot Surgical Strike that was done in POK to destroy terrorist training camps. But with passage of time, IAF’s fighter squadrons have gone down. Against the required 42 squads, IAF has only 32 squads which is a cause of concern keeping our two unfriendly neighbours China & Pakistan in mind. IAF was supposed to acquire over 100 new fighter jets over a decade ago but lack of signing of deal & the long new fighter jet assessment process resulted in not acquiring any new jets in large numbers. Rafale  The present Modi govt. did buy 36 new Rafale jets from France but that is not enough. The MRFA tender hasn’t been signed yet, under which 114 new fighter jets are going to be acquired. Once this is done, it will ...
