पुतिन एक तानाशाह है

मैं तो चाहुँगा ऐसी दुनिया जहाँ नेटो की जरूरत ही न पड़े। लेकिन फ़िनलैंड और स्वीडन को नेटो की जरूरत महसुस हुवी और क्युं हुई ये मैं बखुबी जानता हुँ। 

जब सोवियत संघ का विगठन हुवा तो रूस ने युक्रेन के साथ सन्धि की। युक्रेन के भुमि पर आक्रमण न करने की। क्राइमिया लेकिन ले लिया २०१४ में। संधि का उल्लंघन हुवा। २०२२ में भी सालों सालों तक युक्रेन की नेटो सदस्य बनने की कोइ संभावना थी ही नहीं। ये तो ऐसा हुवा कि दुर्योधन ने कहा कि द्रौपदी ने कहा अंधे का बेटा अंधा, मेरे पिताजी का अपमान किया। इसिलिए इसका चीर हरण करो। 

युक्रेन के भितर रह रहे रूसी अल्पसंख्यक के राजनीतिक समस्या हो सकते हैं। लेकिन रूस के भितर रहे बहुसंख्यक रूसी के उससे भी ज्यादा विकराल समस्याएं हैं। युक्रेन के भितर रह रहे रूसी अल्पसंख्यक के राजनीतिक समस्या का समाधान ये युद्ध नहीं है। जहाँ वे रुसी अल्पसंख्यक रहते हैं उस भुमि का तो तहसनहस कर के रख दिया पुतिन ने। 

युक्रेन के पुनर्निर्माण का खर्चा पुतिन का। 

युद्ध किया लेकिन युद्ध के सारे नियम तोड़ के। उन वार क्राइम्स के लिए पुतिन को अदालत में हाजिर करो। 

चीन और ताइवान का एकीकरण हो। लेकिन सिर्फ शांतिपुर्ण रास्ता उपलब्ध है। कभी भविष्य में ताइवान के लोग स्वेच्छा से शांतिपुर्ण एकीकरण का निर्णय लेंगे। उस वक़्त तक चीन को इंतजार करना होगा। 

युक्रेन रूस का वियतनाम। सदाम के कुवैत पैस जाने से क्या फरक है पुतिन का युक्रेन में घुस जाना? 

पुतिन एक तानाशाह है। दुनिया भर के रुसी पुतिन के विरुद्ध एक हो जाएं। 

पुतिन दुनिया का नंबर दो देश बनने के लिए नहीं लड़ रहा है। नंबर १० भी नहीं आज। दो क्या? 

चीन और भारत का कर्तव्य बनता है कि पुतिन को चेतावनी दे। अगर आप ने आणविक या केमिकल हतियार का प्रयोग किया तो आप से सम्बन्ध विच्छेद। व्यापार पुर्ण रूप से ठप्प। उस अवस्था में पुतिन को दुनिया में बिलकुल अकेला खड़ा होना होगा।

Joe Biden’s suggestion of summit with Xi Jinping falls on deaf ears US president proposed face-to-face meeting in call last week but Chinese leader did not respond ....... Biden has taken a harsh line on China, criticising its treatment of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang, its crackdown on the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong and its military activity around Taiwan. Beijing has responded by accusing the Biden administration of interfering in China’s core strategic interests. ...... Xi has not left China since he went to Myanmar in early 2020 before the outbreak of the pandemic. ...... .it was possible that the two sides could agree to a video call — a step up from a phone call — around the time of the G20. But three people said the US was disappointed with Xi’s apparent lack of interest in a summit.....

quoted Xi as saying that US policies had caused “serious difficulties”





U.S. moves to prevent shortage of therapy as hospitalizing unvaccinated costs billions treating the nation’s hospitalized, unvaccinated population topped an estimated $5.7 billion. ......... Pfizer to seek FDA authorization for children ages 5 and older in early October ........ Pfizer expects to seek emergency use authorization for its coronavirus vaccine from federal regulators to immunize children ages 5 to 11 in early October and ages 6 months to 5 the following month

Larry Ellison, Netanyahu Trial Witness, Offers ex-PM Seat on Oracle's Board Offer by billionaire Ellison is estimated at some $450,000 ■ The former prime minister would have to quit Knesset to accept a job in the private sector ■ Netanyahu, who recently stayed on Oracle founder's Hawaiian island, denies the report ....... . The average for the other board members is roughly $450,000 a year, but there are directors who earn $800,000. Most of the directors also receive corporate shares, which could boost the compensation considerably.



Pelosi lauds Taiwan, says China's fury cannot stop visits by world leaders China demonstrated its outrage over the highest-level U.S. visit to the island in 25 years with a burst of military activity in surrounding waters, summoning the U.S. ambassador in Beijing and halting several agricultural imports from Taiwan. ..... Some of China's planned military exercises were to take place within Taiwan's 12 nautical mile sea and air territory, according to Taiwan's defence ministry, an unprecedented move that a senior defence official described to reporters as "amounting to a sea and air blockade of Taiwan". ......... Taiwan scrambled jets on Wednesday to warn away 27 Chinese aircraft in its air defence zone, the island's defence ministry said, adding that 22 of them crossed the median line separating the island from China. ....... Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen, who Beijing suspects of pushing for formal independence - a red line for China ....... The last U.S. House speaker to go to Taiwan was Newt Gingrich in 1997. Pelosi's visit comes amid sharply deteriorating Sino-U.S. relations. During the past quarter century, China has become a far more powerful economic, military and geopolitical force. ........ In retaliation for her visit, China's customs department announced a suspension of imports of citrus fruits and certain fish - chilled white striped hairtail and frozen horse mackerel - from Taiwan, while its commerce ministry banned export of natural sand to Taiwan. ......... Fury on the mainland over Pelosi's defiance of Beijing was evident in Chinese social media, with one blogger railing: "this old she-devil, she actually dares to come!" Pelosi is 82. ........... The Chinese military said it was on high alert and would launch "targeted military operations" in response.

Taiwan rejects China's sovereignty claims, saying only the Taiwanese people can decide the island's future.

......... "We can see China's ambition: to make the Taiwan Strait non-international waters, as well as making the entire area west of the first island chain in the western pacific its sphere of influence"

Putin's Geopolitical Dog Day Afternoon?



Why Russia Believes It Cannot Lose the War in Ukraine Mr. Karaganov warned for years about a potential conflict in Ukraine over NATO expansion. Since the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February, he has written articles and given interviews in broad support of President Vladimir Putin, so I interviewed him to better understand Mr. Putin’s aims in the conflict. Ukraine continues to suffer, and those who hope to support Ukraine must understand those aims as it tries to confront Russia’s aggression. .......... When the military conflict started, we saw how deep Ukraine’s involvement with NATO was — a lot of arms, training. Ukraine was being turned into a spearhead aimed at the heart of Russia. Also we saw that the West was collapsing in economic, moral, political terms. This decline was especially painful after its peak in the 1990s. Problems within the West, and globally, were not solved. That was a classic prewar situation. The belligerence against Russia has been rapidly growing since the late 2000s. The conflict was seen as more and more imminent. So probably Moscow decided to pre-empt and to dictate the terms of the conflict. ........... This conflict is existential for most modern Western elites, who are failing and losing the trust of their populations. To divert attention they need an enemy. But most Western countries, not their presently ruling elites, will perfectly survive and thrive even when this liberal globalist imperialism imposed since late 1980s will vanish. .......... This conflict is not about Ukraine. Her citizens are used as cannon fodder in a war to preserve the failing supremacy of Western elites. ......... I have been predicting such a war for a quarter century. ......... Now Russia will contain and deter the West without any second thought and hopes left. We shall wait for what will happen within the West. ......... Taking into consideration the vector of its political, economic and moral development, the further we are from the West, the better it is for us. At least for the coming decade or two. .......... Maybe the decision should have been made earlier. And Covid postponed it. ........ I am reiterating in most of my writings and public appearances that we should preserve freedom of thinking and intellectual discussion, which is still much wider than in many other countries. We do not have the cancel culture or impose the deafening political correctness. I am concerned about the freedom of thought in the future. But I am even more concerned about the growing probability of a global thermonuclear conflict ending the history of humanity.

We are living through a prolonged Cuban missile crisis.

And I do not see people of the caliber of Kennedy and his entourage on the other side. .............. Belligerent Western policies, which are almost welcome, are cleaning our society, our elites, of the remains of pro-Western elements, compradors and “useful idiots.” ......... with cancel culture now on the rise in the West, we could remain one of the few places that will preserve the treasure of the European, Western culture and spiritual values. ......... The minimum is the liberation from the Kievan regime of Donbas, which is in its final stages, and then of southern and eastern Ukraine. Then, Russia’s aim should probably be that the territory left under Kievan control will be neutral and fully demilitarized. ......... the collapse of the former world order of global liberal imperialism imposed by the United States and movement toward a much fairer and freer world of multipolarity and multiplicity of civilizations and cultures. .......... Russia will be playing its natural role of civilization of civilizations. Russia should also be playing the role of the northern balancer of this system. ......... We are proud heirs of a great culture created by Pushkin, Tolstoy, Gogol. He [Gogol] was coming from the lands that are now Ukraine, and formed our love for these lands. We are heirs of unbeatable warriors, like A. Suvorov, and marshals Zhukov and Rokossovsky. This world order is still over the horizon. But I am working to bring it closer.



Mr. Putin Launches a Sequel to the Cold War a fateful new East-West struggle is underway with no indication of where it might lead or how long it might last. ..... In announcing new sanctions, trade restrictions and measures against Russian oligarchs, Mr. Biden said they would impose “severe costs” on the Russian economy “both immediately and over time.” But while a serious fall in the Russian currency and stock market suggest this could be so, the sanctions also demonstrated the limitations of what the West has done so far. ...... That the threat failed to deter Mr. Putin indicates that he was prepared to absorb the costs, and to wait and see whether the West could do the same. ........ Mr. Biden stopped short of two especially tough punishments — personal sanctions against Mr. Putin and excluding Russia from the SWIFT system of global money transfers. The latter in particular would do immediate and grave damage to the Russian economy. But it would also damage the countries with which it trades, including the European Union members and the United States. Mr. Biden said that all such sanctions remained on the table. ........ Even Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orban, an unabashed fan of Mr. Putin, fell in line with E.U. sanctions. ....... In keeping with his inexplicable fawning over Mr. Putin while he was president, Donald Trump issued more outrageous appreciation of the Russian’s actions even as the invasion was about to start, saying, “He’s taking over a country for $2 worth of sanctions. I’d say that’s pretty smart.” ........ Thousands of Russians courageously took to the streets in Moscow and other cities on Thursday to protest the war and were met with a fierce police crackdown. How deep the resistance goes, or what it could achieve against Mr. Putin’s authoritarian rule, is unclear. It is also not known whether the antiwar outpouring had any tacit sympathy in the upper echelons of government. ........ Putin has thrust Europe into the most dangerous conflict since World War II, acting on a combination of misguided grievances, flawed history and illusions of grandeur. ....... He has launched a sequel to the Cold War, a potentially more dangerous one because his claims and demands offer no grounds for negotiations, and because along with its nuclear arsenal Russia is capable of launching a massively destructive cyberwar. ......... The West is strongest when it stands together for its shared values and against a common enemy.

Sanctions On Russia

The Russia sanctions bite Sanctions have been effective at crippling the Russian economy. That's the conclusion of a new 118-page paper from Yale's Jeffrey Sonnenfeld and 18 c0-authors. ....... "Russian imports have largely collapsed," the paper says — creating massive supply shortages and denying the country crucial parts and technologies. ....... "Russian domestic production has come to a complete standstill." ....... Foreign companies that have left Russia account for 40% of Russian GDP, the author wrote, almost none of which is going to come back any time soon. ......... "Looking ahead, there is no path out of economic oblivion for Russia as long as the allied countries remain unified in maintaining and increasing sanctions pressure." ....... Russia needs Europe to buy its natural gas more than Europe needs Russian natural gas to buy. ........ Because natural gas is "a highly non-fungible commodity," delivered through pipes that take decades to build, Russia has very few alternative export markets for its gas, and 83% of its natural gas exports go to Europe. ...... The economic repercussions of Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine are being felt in all countries. But they're particularly devastating in Russia — with little, if any, future upside so long as sanctions remain in place.
