Russian Missile on Ukraine

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea recently supplied Russia with ballistic missile launchers and several ballistic missiles. On the 30th of December 2023 Russian forces launched at least one of these North Korean ballistic missiles into Ukraine. This missile appears to have landed in an open field in the Zaporizhzhia region.

My Lesson Learnt From Life

What I have learnt in life is. You should at all cost avoid having multiple enemies in a set of space. Whether it’s at work or in an organization. Wherever you are, you should always avoid having multiple enemies. This is because it doesn’t really matter how strong you are. It is going to come a time when your enemies will come together and cooperate against you. When they come together against you, what enemy number “A” doesn’t have, enemy number “B” or “C” will certainly have.

Russia Purchase Ballistic Missiles From Iran

Russia To Acquire Ballistic Missile

So Russia moves forward with Iran to purchase ballistic missiles. Russia reportedly moving forward with the deal to purchase short range ballistic missiles from Iran.

The Western World Fighting a Poxy War in Ukraine

Proxy War in Ukraine Against Russia

Russia has been at war with Ukraine for a while now. But in reality it has not been Ukraine fighting Russia. It was all of Europe and the whole of Western Nations fighting against Russia.

Russia Cooperating With The Enemies of The Western Nations

Most of the Western Nations were expecting Russia to have its equipment depleted. Russia very intelligently tried not to use up all of its weapons on Ukraine. Russia has been cooperating with some countries. Clearly Russia is cooperating with countries that don’t like Europe and the collective West.

America’s Support For Ukraine Is Waning

The U.S. military assistance for Kiev, Ukraine is waning in congress. America is not as hot as it were in supporting Ukraine. Ukraine is almost by itself fighting the Russians.

The US Worried On Russia and Iran Cooperation

The United States is concerned that Russia’s negotiation to acquire short range missiles from Iran are actively advancing. One of the U.S. official told a Journal. The US does not like that Russia intends to purchase missile system from Iran. Like I said earlier. You most always avoid having too much enemies. Because at the end of the day, They will come together against you.

Cuba Has Been Sanctioned Since 1960

Cuba and The Wick Western Sanctions

We live in a world where most of the people that do not agree with the U.S. are sanctioned. Most of the people that want to live there life in there own terms and in there own way are sanctioned or will be sanctioned. Look at Cuba. It has been sanctioned since 1960. Why? Because they refused to let Americans and international companies to come and run and exploit their country, Cuba.

Cuban Antique Cars

The Effect of Sanction on Cuba

In Cuba you can not import cars. Cuba does not have brand new cars. If you look at Cuba, they still drive those old school 190 cars. In Cuba there is no Pepsi, Coca Cola, etc.. Cuba does not have access to new technology. This is because they have been cut off from the world. Why have they been cut off from the world? They have been cut off because the United Stated inflicted sanctions on Cuba. This is because Cuba decided not to agree with the powers that be.

US and Israel Voted Against Removal of Cuban Sanctions

Cuba Has Been Sanctioned of Too Long

Very recently the United Nations sat down to discuss the Cuban Situation. They said Cuba has been sanctioned for too long. Every countries agreed to remove the sanction. But two particular countries refused to remove the sanction against Cuba. It was the United States of America and Israel. Obviously United States of America and Israel are brothers. Don’t the Cubans deserve to have good life to cooperated with other countries and to deal with other people. It is very sad. What has Cuba done to deserve this. Nothing.

Uganda is Also Sanctioned Like Cuba

The West Using Sanctions to Force LGBT on Uganda

The same thing is happening in Uganda. Uganda is being kicked off of AGOA. AGOA is a program that helps African nations to export goods to the United States without necessarily having to pay tax. Uganda has been kicked off. Why? This is because Ugandans voted a law concerning Ugandans. A law against LGBT. Uganda has the right to live the way it wants. After all nobody comes to the US to force the US on what to do or not to do.

The Western Expectation on Russia Failed

Russia was sanctioned in many way by the West. The West was hoping that Russia will crumble and be in poverty due to the sanctions. They cut Russia off the SWIFT system. Society For World Wide Interbank Financial Telecommunication system is a system that allows countries to send money from one place to another. Though Russia was cut off SWIFT. Russia Found other alternative. I don’t necessarily agree with the Russian politics. But the way they are being treated for choosing to be Russian is terrible.

Who is Fighting Against Russia in Ukraine?

Why is the West worried about the arms deal between Russia and Iran? They are worried because they feel that the arms deal will make Russia stronger. This is because they are actually the ones fighting Russia in Ukraine.

Arming Iran Could be a Danger to Israel

Another growing concern from the US is that strengthening cooperation between Moscow and Tehran could boost Iran’s ability and capability in the Middle East and overcome economic cripple from Western sanctions. Cooperating with the Russians will allow Iran to boost its military. That is very dangerous for America. As we know Iran and Israel don’t get along very well. Having a strong military, Iran is dangerous to Israel and other countries that are America’s friends.

Russia and Iran Cooperating Together

The US is Bring Its Enemies Together

What do you expect when you have issues with Russia and Iran. Of course the two countries will come together against you. I mean when America did not have issues with Russia, Russia did not provide anything to Iran or anything to North Korea. I think it is ok for two countries to respect each other, even if they don’t like each other. But as soon one of the two countries gets into an open war with the other, by supporting a country that is fighting the other with weapons. What do you expect the other country is going to do. The other country is going to look for his opponent’s enemies, to make friendship against his opponent. This is exactly what Russia has done. by asking Iran for Ballistic Missiles.

Ballistic Missile

Russian Technology in Exchange For Weapons

Russia asking Iran for ballistic missile is not going to be offered for free. Trust me, even if Russia pays in money, it will certainly pay with technology as well. Exactly the same way Russia had done with North Korea.

Russian and North Korean Cooperating Together

You know North Korean a while back were trying to send satellite into orbit for espionage. They tried several times and failed. Because they didn’t have the technology. But when Russia went to North Korea asking for ammunitions, two weeks later North Korea was able to launch satellite into orbit. How did they do it. Obviously they got the technology from the Russians.

Learn to Manage your Enemies

I think you need to weigh your way around how many enemies you want and can manage. I also think sometimes you need to use the soft side of things and not push people to a corner where they have nothing to lose. When people have nothing to lose, they become extremely dangerous. It is like a lone dog. You think it will not bite. You kick the dog to certain point that you think it would probably not bite at you.

Uganda Will Bite The USA

Uganda is Not a Lion to The USA

In the case of Uganda. Uganda is probably not a lion. Maybe it is a dog in front of America. But if you put that dog in a corner, by sanctioning, by removing visas, by not sending money as you used to, and by kicking them off AGOA. They will eventually have nothing to loose any more. Trust me don’t teach people to live without you.

Don’t Tempt People to Live Without You

Don’t tempt people to live without you. I always say, when you want to punish somebody or correct them for whatever reason, don’t punish somebody for too long. Some people use the silence treatment. Don’t do it for too long. Do it just moderately. Using the silent treatment on somebody for seven to eight day, don’t expect them to be the same. The will learn to live without you. By the time you want to come back, they will not be there for you anymore. They won’t even care about you. They will look at you as toxic. You don’t want to do this at any scale, as a human being or as a country. We can see all these in the way Russia has learnt to survive without the Europeans.

Purpose of War is For Weapons Sales

What is The Purpose of War?

I think we all need peace. Why are we fighting each other? What is the purpose of war right now? The purpose is to create a reason to make weapons and to sell weapons. What is the purpose of we wanting to have our collaborators or our partners so that we can destroy? We don’t need partnership in destruction. Who needs partnerships in destruction?

We Need Real Democracy

We need peace. We need respect. We need real democracy. Democracy is respecting people’s land, culture, tradition and other people’s way of life. Democracy is respecting even the weak ones. Especially the poor, those who have nothing to offer. Especially the ones you deem as poor. Many people may look poor financially in your terms. But in their own realm, they are not poor at all. They are happy.

African Kids Are Not All Poor

The Realm of Wealth to an African Kid

African kids are not all poor. The kids you see with a big stomach, running in the fields are actually very rich. We grew up in the neighborhood playing soccer, jumping the trees, climbing walls, playing physically and swimming in rivers. We grew up in the most beautiful way. We were told that that was poor. We were told that rich means sitting in front of a cell phone or computer all day. That is not rich. For us, Rich is The communication we had, the brotherhood, the family-hood, and knowing everybody in your neighborhood. That was Rich and wealth. Eating organic food, living is a beautiful sunny place with no Wars. That was beautiful.

Most war are inflicted, conducted, and initiated by greed. That is the bottom-line. Most wars are initiated by greed. Because somebody wants to touch something that does not belong to them.

Thank you very much for reading.

It was a great pleasure.
