WEAPONS IN MODERN WARS.

  By K P PASWAN

 We are witnessing different kinds of-genocides and terror activities. Civilization is filled with such type of conflicts, only the nature of conflicts and  weapons have changed.  Human race  survived with  weapons made of stones and spears  in ancient time and continues to survive with  Submarines and  Nuclear arsenal in modern time. We are becoming  more and more rational in our approach and dont care much about  any supernatural deity, responsible for our existence. Surprisingly we dont know anything about the birth of the universe. And a large number of people whether educated or not have little interest  in the origin of the universe as there is no body to tell any thing about the parents of the universe Yet wonder of modern technology forces us sometimes to know the mystery of the universe. Several scientific theories habe been presented to give the idea that the universe may or may not be the offspring of a supernatural deity.

From time immemorial human beings have developed weapons made of stones and iron for hunting animal for foods. With passage of times these weapons are now characterised as destroyer of human beings and in the last six centuries these weapons played important role in the colonization of different lands in different parts of the world. Colonization was not possible without horrendous killing of the natives and the genocides of the defeated people by better and lethal weapons in the hands of colonizers..

 India was ruled by robbers as they had sophisticated weapons  while the  natives fought with arrows and  spears made up of irons. When Alexander invaded India in 326BC, his army consisted of horse riders with spears in their hands while Indian kings had elephants with bows and arrows  and fought with Alexander's soldiers like wrestlers.

 Deadly weapons were manufactured based on science based technology. These weapons were used in the beginning of the 20th century by the Western countries . There were fierce competitions among the colonial powers to enforce hegemony and more than half of the world was colonized by a few countries of modern Europe. an>

Roles of Science.Science played important roles in the development of modern deadly weapons. In the beginning of the 20th century sophisticated assault guns were introduced, Steps were taken to introduce better communication system. Railways were introduced by Great Britain in its colonies and  Britain was boasting of its rail development but France and Germany were not legging behind. Navy vassals were operated by steam engine but better communication was still a distant dream. Meanwhile Americans were thinking to manufacture aircrafts as the cars were already introduced in the US. WW1 witnessed sophisticated weapons  playing havoc in the affected nations. Surprisingly they US soldiers fought war with assault rifels borrowed from France and UK. Before the start of WW2 fighter jets were introduced and steps were  taken in the US and UK and Germany to manufacture atom bomb. Navy and the war planes played vital role in the WW2.

The US and Weapons.America's traditional hostility to central state power meant that it was a surprisingly  reluctant military powe.r After WW1 the US rapidly disarmed leaving  only its naval power intact The US did not set about translating  its economic potential  into a truly  globe-embracing  full spectrum  military dominance  untill    FDR took the decision to expand  the army, air force and navy simultaneously. In military terms  the US was a junior partner till the WW1 In the bloody battles of  of the St Mihiles and in the Orgonne forest  Americans fought with the British and French weapons not the other way around.

The US changed the nature of weapons  From deadly assault rifles to destructive Nukes the US emerged unchallenged manufacturers of deadly weapons. Heavy tanks, fighter jets and Missiles decides the outcome of a deadly war. After WW2 there was only one Superpower and it was the US followed by USSR but the US  started dictating the politics of the world. In the manufacture of deadly arms a few nations of Western Europe also tried to challenge the hegemony of the US. France and Germany are also manufacturing fighter jets and missiles. German made heavy tanks  are equal in strength with American made heavy tanks named as leopard

At present Ukraine is fighting Russia and Israel is fighting the terrorists who are  being financed by a rich Iran. Modern and sophisticated weapons are being used in Ukraine and in the Gaza patty. Now we are witnessing pilot less Drones and Cyberattacks  causing more harms than tanks and traditional weapons. China is also not legging in producing fighter jets and missiles. Chinese strongman Xijinping has declared that the time was ripe for China to play central role in the world.

 TERRORISTS AND WEAPONS. modern weapons  have given a new lease of life to certain groups of terrorist organisations  like Al Qaeda and ISIS , not to speak of Talibans, Hamas and Hezbullah. The terrorists have in their possession all types of weapons except Nukes and the days may not be far off when the terrorists in Pakistan and N Korea  snatch Nukes from the army. In Pakistan ,Army itself is sponsoring terror attacks in most parts of the world but specially in the middle east. Easy availability of deadly weapons has increased insurgency The sickening rhythm of suicide bombings in Sudan and in different parts of the middle East is quickening again.  In the Middle East Tribal conflicts are based upon suicide bombing.Insurgency in any part of world is not possible without  smuggling of arms by insurgents.

 Modern warfare forces the fighting nations to witness the door to hell.  The movie Star wars inspired to manufacture  weapons  which travels as fast as the sound. Russia has in its possession the Thermo nuclear device known as the Tsar Bomba while the US has the capacity to disturb the gravity of the entire solar system. It was deadly weapon which prolonged war in Vietnam, Afghanistan. And modern weapons have destroyed Ukraine and the Middle East. Fortunately manufacturing arms is linked with a prosper economy and only few countries are economically strong to introduce  and manufacture arms capable enough for Apocalypse. We must bear in mind that two bankrupt and starving nations have Nukes but they cannot fight hell owing to weak economy.

HATED AND RESPECTED POLITICIANS.

 BY K P PASWAN.

At present there are three politicians in power who are hated by a large number of people. While  Vladimir Putin of Russia and Donald Trump. the president elect of the US are hated and respected throughout the world, Narendra Modi, the PM of India is hated by his opponents in India and respected all ovr the world except Pakistan and few Islamic countries.

 Here we are going to discuss about Putin and his political ideology responsible for his increased unpopularity

 Putin emerged as the strong man of Russia after death of Boris Yeltsin , the first political head of non Communist Russia.  It is rightly said that Gorbachew inaugurated an era of democracy in Russia, Boris Yeltsin destroyed it and Putin is trying to revive the past glory of Russia by democratic principles. These so called principles are his own creations.

Putin is being hated and criticised for various reasons and most of these reasons are not based on true facts. Prolonged battle in Ukraine despite of despite of substantial territorial gain has increased his unpopularity. Before the Ukraine war Putin told a western journalist that the US was already a Superpower so there was no need for another Superpower. So Putin accepted that Russia was not a competitive enemy of the US. During the era of Cold war Russia was known as Soviet Union  which consisted a large number of small republics which were annexed by Lenin and founded a fragile USSR. So there were only two superpowers ,the Soviet Union and the USA. With the collapse of Communism Soviet Union disappeared and Russia along with a good number of former republics emerged, these former republics are now independent nations some of them have joined NATO and EU.  During Cold war western Europe feared Soviet Union which  posed serious existential threat to non Communist Europe. Unfortunately even after collapse of Soviet Union the same fear persisted as is evident from the futile attempt to expand NATO which became obsolete in absence of  a powerful Soviet Union.

VADVADVAD AS AD AD AD AD AD

But what the case has illuminated is the ultra cynical,hostile  world view that informs Russia's truculence  a view in which there are precious few values or rules. Russia under Putin  is a more chaotic  and frightening place  than the resurgent ,authiritarian but orderly country  that it is often thought to be  It is a frightening with huge power. 

Quite apart from its vast territory and nuclear arsenal  Russia has the world's largest hydrocarbon  reserves--now its chief foreign policy lever--plus a permanent seat on the UNSC. All that makes Russia an coperation vital  to the West efforts  over global problems like climate change,N Korea and most pressingly the future status of Ukraine on which Putin is unlikely to be helpful and restraining Iran'snuclear ambitions,

The knowledge that he can thwart  Western design ,allied to the self confidence  endangered by  Russia economic revival despite of sanctions and his strangulation of domestic oppositions has allowed Putin to indulge  his sense of grievance at  Russians diminished status.

Trump administration has evidently decided that Russian insouciance ever what was in
effect a miniature act of  Nuclear Terrorism on the street of Moscow. was a provocation too far.

 Despite the echoes of Soviet era spat, this stand off  does not, as some excitable commentators are persuaded,herald the onset of a new Cold War. Even if it is in some respect  more worryingly  unpredictable  than the Soviet Union,today's Russia does not have the old  empire's economic or military might, nor its rival ideology . But the Cold war analogy  is instructive in one way. Even as they pretend to destroy  one another the West and Soviet Union  struck deals and  traded in energy in diluted form, the same combination of  opprobrium and  and real politik  is needed  in relations with Russia now. For example despite the instinct in Kremlin  that all diplomacy is zero  it might be possible to encourage the Russians  to help more with Iran  by pointing out  that if Iran had no bomb  programme. Trump might not to press forward with a controversial missile  defence in Eastern Europe.

The idea that  Russia might quickly  become a Normal country,like the hope that  Putin might turnout to be a  democrat has been discredited. But Russia is still a country  the US and the Western Europe must do business  with even as  as its excessess are restricted.

As Putin outmanoeuvres Biden, Trump applauds. With the advent of Trump, the Russian television  which has been pumping out anti American propaganda  quickly seized  on a new narrative With the fall of Democrats  Channel One TV of Russia declared  that Biden found himself in  a puddle while Putin  displayed diplomatic mastery  at the world level. It did not mention the global humiliation faced in Syria where the bigots supported by Turkiye forced All Assad to flee and sought shelter in Russia. Mr Trump's policy added  to the mystery of his   apparent infatuation with Mr Putin and fuelled anxiety  about Russia's ability  to undermine the American democracy. Yet for pro  Western Russian liberals  the pamicked attitude of some  of America's mainstream media  was equally discomfiting. It seemed a mirror image of  Russia's own hysteria about  the role of America  in sowing chaos and staging colour  revolution in Russia's back yard.

 CONCLUSION. Russia is on the threshold of economic revival but it is no longer a dreaded military power and cannot  be an existential threat to the West. There is no question of nuclear escalation by Putin.  Russia is needed to maintain stability in the post coldwar politics of the world. Its actions in Ukraine are condemnable but Russia cannot be discarded.

FIGHTING HELL.

 By K P PASWAN

1. Recently India and Pakistan were engaged in fierce  war for a few days. Pakistan is a self proclaimed theocratic state with few feriends and with a large number of cointries excelling the crippling economy of Pakistan.
2. Before proceeding further it may be remembered that from Nehru to Modi, Pakistan has never won a war against India and the credit must be given to the Preachers nasquarading as soldiers in Pakistan are preaching religious laws. In the same language it is said that from Nehru to Modi India has never won a war against terrorists funded by Pakistan and the credit goes to traitors scattered all over India. In other words we may say that Pakistan has never won a war against India and has always won election in Pakistan and may win war of terror with India..
3. Cross border terrorism is not a new thing for India. Division of India on the basis of religion has been a boon for Pakistan and a curse for India. Fortunatly entire world is fighting religious based terrorism and no country not even the mighty US is immune from attack of terrorists. Most interesting part is that every big terror attacs is being attributed to intelligence failure which is wrong and not based on facts. Massacre of sports persons from Israel in the notorious Munich Olympic was not due to intelligence failure but it was premature conclusion of some big poweres that a terrorist like Yasser Arafat would not resort to horrendous killing. Chain smoking PM of Israel Golda Mair neutralised every terrorist who participated in the carnage and the CIA and M16failed to read the mind of the great PM of Israel.

1. With the terror attacks upon the twine towers actions based on modern technology and now on the basis of AI are being taken to thwart  evil designs of terrorists. However it is always not possible to foresee the terrorist,s designs, as seen this is  in the middle east UK and in certain parts of India. UK followed by India is producing dreaded terrorists who are found active in various countries.. Before the advent of PLA led by Yassir Arafat there was no basis for religion based terrorism. It is said that the HAMAS's actions on the 6th October 2023 was not anticipated by MOSSAD. It is not only funny and interesting but lacks credibility. Israel is fighting its enemies from the date of its birth and the Hamas's actions must not be seen as an isolated case. Now HAMAS and the Hizbollahs have been weakened and Iran which is used to fund the terrorists is facing global humiliation as every top terrorists belonging to HAMAS, HIZBOLLAH have been neutralised and now there is acute crisis of leadership in the terrorist organisations in the West Asia.
2.  The situation is different in India. From ancienttime , India as we know has been the meeting place of people of moden Somalia to modern Ukraine. Destiny of India has always been shaped by traitors and antinationals. Hinduism the religion of majority in India failed to spread all over the world as there was no central authority. Kings were engaged in destroying each other and the Hinduism failed to unite its followers. It is therefore surprising that Hinduism is still alive and its philosophy is attracting learned persons from all over the world. My own mentor in the US is a White American Nobel Laureatue in Physics. Himself a devout Christian he has outstanding knowledge of Hindu scripture and thinks holy verses of Rigveda as the flow of time, Another French Physicist Carlo Roveli ,a Catholic declares the cosmic dance of Shiva as the flow of time
3. Coming back to communal tension in India, a few Youtubers assert that India was not divided on religin considerations. These selfproclaimed intellectuals  accuse the majority community responsible for social and communal tension
4.  It appears that we are yet to learn from France,Germany and the UK which have become like Arabian countries. American VP J D Vance thinks the UK as an Islamic counttry with Nukes. President  Trump does not give even slight mportance to UK. In India a particular state is acting like a country of the middle east while   CM of another state is  notorious for entertaining illegal immigrants to keep herself in power.
5. NEW GLOBAL ORDER. Post cold war era there is no logic in following the old principles of  unipolar or multipolar world. There are now several power centres affecting the image of the US as a superpower. Two nations with crippled economy like N Korea and Pakistan have Nukes but not recognised either by the US o Russia as centre of power. Pakistan a theocratic state is virtually bankrupt and surviving on the charity of the IMF and China, a simple arithmatical calculation proves that Pakistan shall never be able to repay its external debt till the end of civilization. Being a theocratic state it thinks it is cardinal duty to fund and incite terror attacks in India. Recent small scale of war between two countries makes it amply clear that Pakistan can never win a battle with India, so with help from Indian intellectuals  and traitors it is possible to  keep India in check by inciting terror activities.
6. And Pakistan is doing the same thing.
