After the fall of the Soviet Union, America became the only super power of the world. America took upon itself the job of the world police man. It became very arrogant. Arrogance always leads to ignorance. America has failed to understand that the unipolar world order after the collapse of the Soviet Union was only a transitory phase and the world is actually going to become multipolar. When there were two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States, then the world was bipolar. In reality, the bipolar world was going to be replaced by a multipolar world. However, the collapse of the Soviet Union led to the transitory phase of a unipolar world led by the USA. America started thinking that this is going to be a permanent situation and the American supremacy will last forever. This only shows American ignorance.
As the world policeman, American has followed very aggressive policies. During the Soviet era, the two superpowers, more or less balanced each other. Therefore, the balance of power in the world was maintained. However, after the fall of the Soviet Union, the balance of power in the world has been lost and America can get away with doing whatever it likes. This has made America very arrogant and it has lost all restraint. America has started to believe that nobody can stop it from doing whatever it likes.
Because of this arrogance and ignorance America is aggressively following racist and anti third world and anti Islamic policies. All these policies are very seriously challenging the world peace and are pushing the world towards a third world war.
America is pushing India to a war with China. This can lead to a third world war with India becoming the arena for this war. Europe was the arena for the two world wars and is very reluctant to have another world war on its soil. After the fall of the racist regimes in South Africa and Rhodesia, America is trying to gain the dubious distinction of the bastion of racism. Even its policy of imposing a third world war on Asia can be considered a racist policy.
America is blatantly following anti Islamic and anti third world policies. America’s relations with its closest Islamic allies such as Pakistan and Turkey are severely strained. If America uses its veto against a resolution for a Palestinian state, in the United Nations, then its relations with its staunchest ally, Saudi Arabia can also be strained. This will led the further isolation of Israel which is already facing serious isolation.
The American backed aggression in Libya shows its anti third world policies. Under the cover of democracy and human rights, the Western Countries are only after the resources of the third world such as oil. America’s relations with the African Union are severely strained. As a result of America’s anti Islamic and anti third world polices, Pakistan and the African Union are moving closer to China.
India should join Russia and China to balance the unbalanced American power. Today, no one country can match the power of the U.S.A. Therefore, only Russia, China and India can balance the American Power and restore the balance of power in the world. This is the only way that a third world war can be avoided and the world peace maintained.
