Pre-Summit Report: Did the USA really help in Afghanistan?

When a person sees things that aren't there, hears voices that tell him to do irrational things and insists on believing things that simply are not supported by fact, most psychologists would label that person delusional and seek to help him regain his toehold on reality. When that person does all the same things regarding U.S. aid to Afghanistan it is called statecraft.      

“There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people.” – Howard Zinn, noted American author, peace activist, professor, and humanitarian.

Ironic isn’t it? 
Every single year we read about American martyrs dying in attempt to ‘aid’ Islamic countries.  As of June 2014 there have been 2,187 U.S. military deaths in the war in Afghanistan. This fact is slapped in our faces via most social media forms. We see obituaries and Facebook pages dedicated to these brave soldiers. What we don’t read about are, how many Afghanis and locals of these Islamic countries were killed in the cross fire. Are they just collateral damage? Half these deaths aren’t even officially registered and recorded by the UN. 3000 + local deaths have been recorded, 2000+ injuries too. 5000+ other Afghanis according to records just decided to fly off the face of the map.

“How can you stop terrorism through war when war is an act of terrorism itself?” – Howard Zinn, noted American author, peace activist, professor, and humanitarian.

Did you know that after US entered Afghanistan the number of bombings and riots went up by 14%?
No you didn’t. I just made that fact up. All you know is that the brave Americans have sent their soldiers to save a country by taking it over. It doesn’t sound anything like how The British enslaved half the countries we know because they wanted to save them right? Of course it doesn’t because only when the American’s do something is it considered angelic and not an act of war. How could the country where iPhones originated do something so 
wrong? I MEAN THEY MADE iPHONES RIGHT?

Did you know that Afghanistan is going to have it first peaceful elections because of American assistance? You should it was scheduled for last year. If someone walks into your country and tells you how to work your government I’m not really sure how the US defines it but it sure isn’t self governance. The elections have been postponed each time by suspiciously well timed riots. The point? Until Afghanis have a stable government they CANNOT kick out the US from their country.



I believe that the perfect explanation for what US is doing can be explained in terms of our own bodies and Viruses. The Americans (Virus) enter the host country (Body). Now the body is tricked into believing that the Virus is part of it and means no harm so it lets it enter. The virus then slowly begins duplicating and spreading its reach in the host. By the time the body realizes that it is under attack the Virus has taken control. Now it’s up to Afghanistan to fight back and take control but until then US is in charge.
I do not believe that USA helped in Afghanistan. I believe that what they do in the name of good is only to add some more cash into their pockets. I believe that if they really wanted to help the world would have seen some changes for the better by now.

Pre-Summit Report: Was Russia or USA the cause of the Cold War?

Poland’s geographical position became a key component that determined the Soviets’ strong political stances in the Cold War. Poland had two forms of government, both communist and democratic, while wrestling control from the Nazis. Josef Stalin, dictator of the Soviet bloc, wanted the communist government to reign supreme whereas the Churchill and Roosevelt disagreed and wanted to give the people the right to choose their own form of government.

This Russian cartoon shows Greece being helped out by America’s “democracy”.
It shows Stalin’s view on the non-communist ideology.

To Stalin, control of the Polish territory was a matter of national security as it was a major gateway for German  invasions. In order to serve as a buffer zone from future acts of war from the West, Stalin was determined to take control of Poland. However, this contradicted the anglo-american values of self determination.

At the Yalta conference in 1945, when the United Nations was created, Stalin insisted that Poland is a “question of life or death for Russia”, and was able to win Churchill and Roosevelt’s acceptance of a communist-dominated provisional government for Poland. Stalin then altered the election results and brought up a communist rule in Poland.

When President Franklin Roosevelt died of an unexpected brain haemorrhage in 1945, his Vice President Harry Truman took over his position as the president. Probably unknowing of the sacrifices made at Yalta, Truman viewed the later interventions of the Soviets into Eastern Europe as violations of the Yalta treaty, defacing Stalin as a liar. He took to blocking out the spread of communism under Stalin’s power craze, turning containment of communism into a dominating component of the American foreign policy. Thus, the Cold War began.

Texts from traditionist American historians during the cold war era would clearly state that the USSR had started the cold war to propagate a communist ideology and rule a world government. Trying to negotiate against an oppressive dictator like Stalin hadn’t worked before, causing a massive world war 2, and it wouldn’t work then. America was forced to enter the cold war to protect their freedoms of democracy and avoid a totalitarian conquest. After the Vietnam War, however, historians were disoriented by the dishonest American government, and told a different tale. Stalin was no longer a sadistic warmonger, but instead a man who wanted to defend the Soviet Union in a world dominated by “Democracy”, and retain his stance of power. It now became clear that the American interest in culling Soviet influence by means such as the atomic bomb were to seek out other economic goals without obstructions from the Soviet bloc, were the main reasons to start the cold war.

“For 40 years we were led to think of the Russians as godless, materialistic and an evil empire. When the Cold War ended, we suddenly discovered that Russia was a poor Third World country. They had not been equipped to take over the world. In fact, they were just trying to improve a miserable standard of oppressive living, and couldn’t. They had to spend too much on arms build-up. We didn’t win the Cold War; we bankrupted the Russians. In effect, it was a big bank exhausting the reserves of a smaller one.” Norman Mailer, 1995
