When the United States entered the Vietnam War in 1961 and was finally defeated in Vietnam in 1975, the Soviets thought the United States was weak and Russians could not be pushed forward. They arrogantly, occupied Afghanistan in 1979. The Soviet Union was also defeated in Afghanistan and withdrew from Afghanistan in 1989. The Soviet Union later split into smaller countries. Later, a number of fanatical politicians, led by the Bush family, thought that the United States was a new superpower in the world and that there was no longer an obstacle to its goals in the world. The idea of the rule of a new world order was circulated in their heads. They too occupied Afghanistan and later Iraq in 2001.

After 20 years-long conflict in Afghanistan now the US and its  allies have failed and left Afghanistan in 2021, Russia thinks the US and alliances have been weakened. and Russia is better off than before. On the other hand the United States and its allies continue to push for Russia to be reprimanded and weakened again by guerrilla warfare in a a place. That land this time is "Ukraine" and its people. These two superpowers try not to go head to head, rather prefer to shoot the gun from the shoulder’s of others. Small countries are chosen as the battlefield and use their people as fuel in this fire.

They impose war on the people of these lands in such a way that, on the one hand, the freedom of their country is at steak, and on the other hand, if the people do not fight against the occupation, they will remain in captivity. It is natural that they fight for their freedom, in which the countries are engaged in long-term wars. Because of these wars millions of people are killed, injured, disabled, displaced as refugees and and imprisoned. Finally, a superpower weakens another superpower for its own interests, with the cost of others. And the war ends in a multi-line pact only.

Why should the people of this world be spectators because a bunch of selfish people turn this beautiful earth on innocent people like fire? Now it's up to the people of these countries how to pursue a vigilant policy so that they do not fall into the hands of others in proxy wars.

In this struggle, being independent, popular support, and trust on God are the secret to a safe outcome from these global conflicts.
