Now that Putin Has Come to the Party!

The annoyance of many across the world against Russia had been that she’s the bad guy that opposes the good which symbolises America and her allies. And whether it had been a mere propaganda against Russia or fact, most of us that used to read espionage and detective novels, like the famous James Hardly Chase, Nick Carter and the rest have without logic attributed same. And in our growing up years, we have witnessed the events that played out in Georgia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, most recently Ukraine, Iran, and Syria respectively, and have concluded that Russia are always poised to play the Devil’s advocate.

But with the most recent bombing of France, the escalating activities of Islamic States, (ISIS) and Russia/Putin’s resolution to assume the responsibility of sending terrorists, most especially of the ISIS extraction to their maker to either forgive them or grant them eternity with their illusive promised virgins, one never seized to asked if this is the end of the proto-world war between America and Russia. But whether Russia’s coming to the party would mark the beginning of the elusive peace in the world remained to be seen.

One thing is certain in the whole imbroglio between Russia and America, and that is ego. The two world super powers had been locked in a battle of wit and supremacy as long as time has been. And though the sentiments seems to be stronger in Africa and Europe against Russia because of the colonialization of the continent by England, France, Germany, and Portugal, who are all allies of America, which inform the hate against Russia, but recent activities of terrorists and the divides that it has led to among Islam and Christian religion respectively has also in recent time attracted some friends and sympathiser to Russia, as America has now been regarded as insincere and biased. But for the first time, the two Elephants seem to be swimming toward the same tides, and we hope this would be the end of the suffering of the grasses, which they says “suffers when two Elephants fight”, as an African proverb would say.
