The recent development in Eastern Europe starting from a revolution that ousted President Yanoukovich of Ukraine and “annexation’ of the Crimea as reported by many Western mainstream media is what I see as “Resuscitating the Soviet Union”.
The once Soviet Union, USSR was founded in 1922 by Vladmir Lennin after a revolution in 1917. Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic as it was named, existed for 69 years before finally dissolving into 15 Republic including Russia as the center. During its height, it covers over 22.4 million square kilometres 1/5 of the earth, and have over 293 million people under her fold. It was such a great country rich and fairly stable. Above all, a counter to the West and their excesses.
Whether Hitler, America or British Empire, West is West and their motive remain one, “Rule the world at all cost”. The British Empire before it collapse after the second European wars, nearly occupied 1/4 of the world. Cruelly occupying many African lands, people and Hindus land (India) and others, the British empire makes those innocent people misery, they enslaved them, killed them and stole away their properties. So came Hitler after, though Hitler killed most of his fellow Europeans, fortunately for us, “Jews”. Now America is the shining star, In Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, and Korea, America caused a lot of unnecessary wars that killed a lot of people. That is also besides it conspiracy in Africa, Middle East and The holy land.
The west was fortunate to enjoy a fair unity and solidarity of purpose; unlike the Arabs that one tribe will fight another for over 100 years because of one Goat, or Africa where tribal wars are still raging calamities on the lands, not to talk of Former India, Korea, Han of China and the South America.
The world was not fortunate in having a stronger power to counter the West. China with all its population is only now that it is getting its Military power on tract. Mediocrity is the main reason why Russia is not committed to other Nations. India as the second largest population in the world, Pakistan confrontation only is enough to divert her attention. Brazil is far and is now that it is developing. So who will counter the west? The answer lies in “Resuscitating the Soviet Union” or wait till Allah brings Muhammad Mahadi (A.S).
Russia is a vast country and still the largest in terms of land size. With 6.5 million miles and population of over 140 million people, Russia is still a force to reckon with. For Soviet Union to rise again, it needs a well trained and talented person, and that person will be no other but Vladmir Putin. A KGB lieutenant, spy and now master of his land, Putin is now setting the pace for resuscitating the Soviet glory. Countries like Ukraine and Georgia will have to be reoccupied. The west is now trying hard to get off Russia from Ukraine with Sanctions and Military belligerence.
I think is a matter of time before Russia itself and comes back once more powerful.
