Terrorism is a threat or tool to chase strategic goals!

Election Articles

After the disintegration of former Soviet Union an apparent cold war between the west and east has come to an end and many other conflicts nurtured from cold war rivalry left unsettled, some resolved and some converted to civil wars.

States started paying more attention to economic and infrastructure development and the concept of all out or total war has cornered but military buildup and obtaining modern technology remained priorities for countries.

Globalisation in general free trade, privatization, free flow of goods and services and ideas across the boarders in particular added to speedy economic development.

Violent None State Actors (VNSA) such as terrorist groups who were created during cold war to be used as proxies under the Islamic Jihadi concept were not dismantled but allowed to move from one place to another and get maximum advantage of global openness, technology and communication facilities for their recruitment and spread of extremist ideologies.

Launching  aggression

The question raises here why the war on terror is not coming to an end despite the commitments of major powers and military alliances that spent billions of dollars and rendered huge sacrifices over the past two decades.

Terrorists are not large armies, they are small groups and did required huge armies or military power to defeat them, but there was need for greater cooperation, settlement of global disputes and respect for others religions, ideologies and cultures.

Another point is that a single terrorist attack could result into massive war or military action such as the incident of 9/11 resulted in presence of over 150,000 foreign troops in Afghanistaninfo-icon, ouster of the Talibaninfo-icon regime and establishment of democracy.

Terrorist groups are always known for killing innocent people and spreading horror among common people. They attack soft target to intimidate states to accept their demands but who is really behind these groups? Who facilitate them? Who armed and protect them? And so many other questions that could not be answered by just what we heard in the media.

There is a common thinking that terrorism is an organised campaign supported by the renowned intelligence agencies of the worldinfo-icon for their own agendas.

These intelligence agencies have provided a specific space to terrorist outfits for their subversive activities. They can be used as assets to launch aggressions, put pressure on governments, spread ethnic sectarian and other type of violence.

States have been matured enough and there is little chances of interstate wars in the 21st century because of the economic, social and social economic interdependence.

Relations between China and Indian have been recently worsened because of the tension over boarder dispute. Both countries are at the same time huge trading partners and have other engagements that prevented escalation of conflict.

Similarly Indian has changed its old thinking of staging a total war on Pakistaninfo-icon, its arch rival, and now relied on surgical strikes against terrorist outfits.

Major Powers such as Russian, US and their allies have been going after terrorist networks in other countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Lybia and Yamen under the logic of eliminating terrorism.

The question is there that do these stated really want to eliminate terrorism which is staged by some groups with limited fighters but unfinished ideologies?

Or under the pretext of terrorism these state have been engaged in keeping their militaries engaged in wars and keep weapons and warhead manufacturing companies to work and continue testing their weapons.

The US this year has tested one of its heaviest bombs called the mother of all bombs for the first time in the battle ground in Afghanistan’s Achin district.

The bombing was termed a right decision as it hit important tunnels and caves of Daesh but after one month of it’s incident Afghanistan capital Kabulinfo-icon witnessed another deadliest attack that killed and injured around 500 people.
