COMPLEX IS MAN'S CONFLICT CAUSER

When one consider world diplomacy and relationship between countries, especially between countries that considers themselves as world powers, you can forced to see ‘complexes’ at play. Superiority complex between world leaders and countries ideology that tends usually to the extreme right has no value for such country or for the comity of countries that are likely tied to the destiny of the one who has developed into a world power.

We see this recourse throughout history and one is forced to ask, “Do they ever read history books?” Because if they do should we be making the same mistakes that our fathers made while building the nation? If we will never learn from the past and try and move on to new chapters of genuine human relationships one devoid of race, ethnicity or colour, we might therefore just be the channel for human extinction (I strongly believe that the human race will be responsible directly towards our own destruction).

Man’s nature has been such of domination but rather than dominate over nature we usually want to dominate over each other. Man’s nature also is that of resistance! There is so much you can do to break a man, after a while he wants his freedom even if this will result to his death. There it goes; the recipe for conflict therefore wherefore man dominates (or wants to) man and man resists vehemently.

I have painted a clear picture of what causes conflicts but it is never as simple as it sounds or look. Take Israel’s bombardment of Gaza for instance; it is never a black and white story. There are years of tenaciously conflicting stories embedded into that conflict and Israel seem to have stepped up effort in making a statement whether it paints them bad in front of the world. Whether we biblify it or we simply secularise it, the war between the Arab countries and that of Zion may continue forever; and I mean FOREVER!

After the cold war, we would have expected that Russia will be less pertinent in forcing a sovereign and autonomous county into tussle of gerrymandering and forceful secession but alas it is happening. And like I said earlier, the issue is never as simple as it sounds. Yet it is innocent people that bear the brunt. They are the ones that die unnecessary and avoidable deaths because they have no army to defend them despite the fact that they pay tax and are law abiding citizens. Russia has responded with her own ban on US and EU products and it is laughable because no country can survive as an Island on its own; we need each other so that we can trade and do commerce. Ask Iran and Libya Mr. Putin

So who bears the brunt from two world powers fighting? Robert Legvold, a writer on National Interest website simplifies it in his blog by saying “The dangers, therefore, should be obvious. The potential costs of the current U.S.-led Western approach, however, require a larger perspective. Daily, they mount up as the reports come in of severed ties between U.S. and Russian nuclear scientists working on a wide array of projects, from the peaceful use of nuclear energy to planetary defense against asteroids, imperiled efforts to eliminate weapons-grade nuclear materials spread around the world and suspended NATO-Russian cooperation in constructing innovative technologies for fighting terrorism”. He goes on to say US must rather engage the Russian leaders in a continuous effort to dousing the conflict rather than sanctions that will pump up Putin’s “EGO” and make him want to continue the fight or at least remain in the spot where compromise is irrelevant.

Like I said before, we never learn and the more world leaders pursue personal agendas and grandstanding that suits no one, the more we will continue to see the avoidable conflicts like Israel vs Gaza, Russia vs US, Isis vs Iraq, Sudan vs Sudan, Kenya vs Kenyans, Nigerian leaders vs Nigerian Citizens, Islam vs Militancy, etc. The war may be different but the battle is the same; Man’s insatiable desire to dominate Man for the aggrandizement of wealth, power and ego.  That is unacceptable and the quicker we stop this madness, the better for the human race.
