The Europeans and their overlords from across the Atlantic are beating the war drums and making an unbelievable noise, crying:“wolf”, or in case of Russia:“Bear”.
It is astonishing to witness that the followers of Wolfowitz doctrine, which pivots around subduing everyone around and maintaining total hegemony in international affairs, are trying to pose as the victims and are trying to rally support among the “lesser” nations, like Pakistan.
Today the European commission representative in Pakistan is asking the state of Pakistan to support Ukraine, but did they ask Pakistan before attacking Libya? Did they request Pakistan to allow them to launch an offensive in Afghanistan or did they threaten Pakistan into submission? Did the European Union oppose implementation of economic sanctions against Pakistan post 1998 nuclear tests? Did the European Union extradite any known and wanted criminals to Pakistan in the early 2000s and even before that? The answer to all these questions is a capital NO.
Did the Americans consult with Pakistan before signing and executing the US-India Civil Nuclear Agreement? Did the Americans offer a similar deal to Pakistan, which, by the way, had promoted US interests in Afghanistan starting from 1979 and continued till 2021? Did the Americans lift economic sanctions against Pakistan and did they support Pakistan in any situation at any international venue? Did the Americans condemn Indian aggression or attempt of an aggression against Pakistan’s sovereignty, when they tried to bomb Balakot in 2019? Did the Americans ever ask the Indians to stop their military-terrorist operation in Kashmir? Once again the answer is an even more capital NO.
I can go on and on listing practical acts of animosity committed by the EU, and their bosses from America, against Pakistan. But the objective is not to compile a list, because Google does it better than me. The objective is to understand the level of US-EU or Western desperation, at this point in time, when they are trying to “ask” Pakistan to support Ukraine. When we asked them to support Kashmir, did they do it?
On the other hand, you can assess their desperation from the fact that yesterday Josef Borrell, the High Representative of the EU Foreign Affairs Committee travelled to Moldova. Many of you might need to refer to Google to find out what is Moldova!? This is how little Moldova is ever mentioned in the western media or any media. But now when the western desperation is spilling over the edge, they are even running to Moldova (soon they might even go to Mongolia). I can’t tell you what exactly did they offer Moldova to “support Ukraine”, but I am sure that Mr Borrell must have felt good getting buzzed-off by a small state.
Let’s get back to Pakistan. Why is it that the EU is asking Pakistan to speak out against Russia? The roots of this request are very deep. This request is not designed to gain something. The design behind it is to make Pakistan lose everything. I don’t need to stress the depth of Sino-Pakistani relations. And at this crucial point in time, when the western hegemony is pushed into the corner and the sensible international players, which include China, are about to administer the required blow to calm-down the Wolfowitz monster, the EU and their leash-holders are asking Pakistan to commit geo-political suicide.
I can understand that there are many in Pakistan, whose personal interests are intertwined with western interests. Those, who put personal gains above national interests, and those, who receive monetary gratitude from the west, are definitely going to try and raise a panic among the public, telling the people about possible repercussions of not bowing to western commands. But, are we going to keep performing SAJJDAin front of these western hypocrites, or are we going to make our own decisions?
Just a couple of lines to remind you of the level of western hypocrisy. I hope everyone remembers that when a Danish cartoonist published derogatory cartoons, targeting the base of Muslim faith, the EU governments refused to ban such actions, saying that it would be against the freedom of speech. They did the same thing when a Danish MP published a very anti-Islam and anti-Muslim video on YouTube. They again tried to teach us the lesson of freedom of speech.
But today, when they are speechless, panicked and afraid, of the availability of truth, which does not correspond to their lies, they have banned all Russian TV channels from airing in the EU. They have banned the publication and distribution of any Russian language papers. They have even put stringent controls on internet, so that their “social media” sites would not show the opposing opinion. How great is that for “freedom of speech”?
Please remember that today in this so-called free, democratic, and humane EU, there are leaders who are saying that Ukrainians are better humans than those, who wanted to seek asylum from the war in Syria, which by the way was caused and worsened by the Americans and was supported by the EU states. Today the European and American journalists are calling Ukrainians as better humans than Arabs and Afghans. I cannot even believe the depth of ignorance to which this so-called “enlightened” west has fallen.
It is time for us to either become a part of the really civilized world, where international affairs will be run through consultation and democratic processes, and not through preventive sanctions and air raids.
Do we want to be part of a world, where every Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Congo, Somalia, Mali, etc, will feel safe and will prosper, or do we want to be “bombed to stone-age” (the American ultimatum to Pakistan in 2001 before invasion of Afghanistan) if we don’t bow our head?
The choice is yours, but the choice is now!
