Afghanistan and Ukraine: The Weapons and the Consequences, by Imma Sust


In this life, all actions have consequences. Whether voluntary or involuntary. And although life teaches us by trial and error, it seems that there are lessons that we do not want to see or that we are not interested in learning, Even if the consequences are deadly. The climate change is a great example of it. We are pulling, we are complaining and, as my grandmother used to say, “one for the other and the house without sweeping & rdquor ;. Then, there are consequences that come very late, but that teach us a great lesson, although we don’t even learn that way.

Starting this Saturday, women in Afghanistan will be forced to wear a burqa every time they leave the house. This was announced by the supreme leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Hibatulla Ajundzada. Whether we want to accept it or not, this is our fault. And when I say ours, I mean the West. In short, I remind you that in Afghanistan women wore miniskirts in the 70s and could study and work. They were free. Russia invaded and what did the Americans do? Give weapons. Who got the guns? Well, the terrorists. The Taliban. Who rules now? The Taliban. Alright, lesson learned. Wars are not settled by giving or selling weapons.

Because this is another. What a business! History repeats itself and now we give or sell weapons to Ukraine. To defend themselves! I don’t know about you, but when one of my nephews hits the other, I don’t give the kid a knife to defend himself. I try to empathize with the Ukrainian people, believe me. I see myself at home locked up while the bombs fall and I think about those weapons. Who would catch them? I already tell you that neither I nor anyone in my family would do it. I look at the women of Afghanistan and my heart breaks. I look at the citizens of Ukraine and it breaks me too. They are used to amortize weapons and do business. Politics, as with climate change, always looks at short term for when the consequences come we can not blame anyone. I hope I’m wrong, I hope the weapons fall into the hands of good people, I hope not only the rich get rich with the sale of weapons, I hope wars end forever.
