Ticking Time Bomb- Déjà vu

Political Commentary

October, Year 1962-Russia wanted to build a missile network in Cuba. America felt its first existential crisis dawning in America only 50 miles away. America stood up and said, “Stop! Dismantle the missile battery in Cuba.” We blockade the International water channel and prevent Russian ships carrying ICBMs headed to Cuba. World war III raised its ugly head to erase the human race from this planet.

Russia backed down from its plan to build missiles, and secure assurance from America not to interfere with Cuban existence. We were jubilant and screamed we won the war!

February, Year 2022. Russia is threatened by the approaching NATO and its missile battery built around Ukraine to block Russian attack. They faced an existential crisis creeping towards its motherland so they invaded Ukraine. Why can’t we, the people of this planet, live in peace?

In a nuclear confrontation, no one will escape death. There will be no victor, only death will proclaim victory. Human race, along with all living creatures, vanquishes from this planet. No one will win this war. We, the people of this earth, demand that we stop this war and learn to live in harmony so that humans could live in peace!
