Global hypocrisy and fear of religious prophecy fuels some hostilities
Two recent issues confirm without doubt that global politics is racist and without integrity.
First, the Russian attack on Ukraine triggered a global outcry forcing governments to reach for sanctions. After consensus was reached, European nations refused to commit on Russian oil and gas imports as it is cheaper. The decision is financial and to hell with principles or suffering Ukrainians.
In contrast, when the allies, Britain, the USA etc. sanctioned Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan etc. the sanction was instant and the world had to comply. Those that refused were shamed and punished.
What is obvious is that Europeans have options but Arabs, Asian and Africans do not, this is racist.
Secondly, the USA and its allies invaded, raped and plundered Afghanistan for 20 years and after they were defeated and ran in disgrace, they imposed sanctions from a safe distance. The Allies left behind those Afghans who collaborated and punished the people of Afghanistan as an entirety.
More Afghans than Ukrainians starve as the Afghans are methodically starved by the USA and allies.
The question is why the sanctions to destroy Afghanistan are so important for the USA and its allies?
The answers is far-fetched but understandable if we grasp Judaic, Christian and Islamic history.
Example, Pharaoh during the time of Moses killed the babies of Jews because of a prophecy which foretold that the Messiah to diminish the Pharaoh, was Jewish. Herod King of Judea also killed the babies of his own people fearing the prophetic revolution which Jesus the Messiah brought about.
These are historical specifics that materialized.
The USA and British fixation with Afghanistan, is also connected to an ancient prophecy.
Though, Muslims and Christians are expecting Jesus to return as the Messiah, Muslims also believe that Jesus will have military support which will arise from the lands of Afghanistan and environs.
Thus, like Pharaoh and Herod, the Americans and British the current global powers fear the rise of this Messiah, especially the army that is prophesied to arise from Afghanistan. This is a reason why the Allies cannot allow any development or progress to happen in Afghanistan. Hence the sanctions.
Whilst this Messiah prophesy may seem absurd to some, the Pharaoh of Egypt and Herod of Judea both acted on the fear of prophecy and this actually caused them to murder thousands of babies.
Also, during the process of slavery, colonialism and imperialism the British and Americans with their allies’ and endless wars have murdered millions of innocent people for less than a prophecy.
In the end, ironically we will all return to dust.
