STRONG IS STRONG AND WEAK IS WEAK

It can be found that there are 195 independent countries in the world. Out of these a few are very strong and can fight with any other country. Some are strong enough to protect themselves. And a few others can stay with the strong and keep themselves away from any attacks. What is shown here are a handful of them only from the total list. It is a glaring fact that even in these 195 countries Taiwan is not an independent country because the powerful China has raised a claim over this country. If such claim was from neighbouring small countries the world would have United to say a no to them. However, since it is China no one wants to interfere and take the trouble. It is the same case with Ukraine. All said and done, no one has come to protect Ukraine from the powerful Russia. Tomorrow the name Ukraine itself may be erased from the world map. Still no one may actively interfere to save the poor country. This can be with anybody. We have seen countries doing inhuman treatment to their people. Those people have so far not allowed to taste what is independence; such amount of cruelty is taking place in some countries. The media continuously highlight these to the world.

We have umpteen organizations to ensure peace and safety for each country, but see what is the peace prevailing in some countries. Huge number of people have been killed within their territory. 'It is none of our business' attitude is taken by almost all countries. Can this situation be changed? There is no chance the way it is going. Ultimately, to sum up, the strong are strong and the weak are weak and may remain weak for ever.
