The United States and Israel entered the “unprovoked” war with Iran on Saturday, February 28, 2026, culminating into a fourth week without any resolution so far. The only solace is one week ‘truce’ from our “Liar-in-Chief” aka President, Donald J. Trump, based on his “delusionary” (as always) peace talks with Iran where in fact, Iran has already denied any such negotiations taking place.
United States under the leadership of George W. Bush labeled the following three countries as “Axis of Evil” during his ‘State of the Union speech’ in 2002: Iran, Iraq and North Korea. Since then, we already know what has happened to Iraq followed by the war in Afghanistan that cost us between $4 to $8 trillion dollars depending on which estimate it is and close to one million lives lost including over 7,000 U.S. service members, hundreds of thousands of civilians in Iraq and 46,000 civilians in Afghanistan.
As a reference, our national debt currently stands at $39 trillion and growing by leaps and bounds ($2 trillion annually to be exact) with the interest cost alone eclipsing what shall be the upper limit of the total deficit for any nation and economy to survive and thrive. All other expenses, mandatory and discretionary, are nothing to be sneezed at.
This is exactly how we are teetering at the edge of the crisis point. If we were to use an analogy of a car driving towards the cliff unknowingly then this car is not miles or meters away, heck, not even a few feet away. It is barely inches away. We are approaching that fatal edge and boom; we are ready to dive off the cliff in the valley of despair by our “Master Conman” who also happens to be “suicidal” to begin this completely unnecessary war.
Iran war is that last straw that will break the back of the U.S. camel.
Above wars are only in the recent memories. Obviously, the Vietnam war and Korean wars took its own toll on America in the earlier decades.
Now, there are 4 countries generally referred as “Axis of Evil”: Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. Let us call it with an acronym “RCIN” – alternatively meaning or speaking as “Our Sin”. Even, “merits versus sins” is a separate and intriguing topic that we may delve at some other time in future, if not in this forum, then via other forum.
Enter “Law of Karma”. It is an “indispensable” law of the Universe – be it at an individual or a country level. It spares no one. No one, really. It is only a matter of when the ‘accounting’ gets done in the “Chitragupta’s Chopda”, i.e. registrar deity maintaining the ledger of our ‘karma’ or actions – good, bad and indifferent.
There is an age-old maxim in Hindi, an Indian language, that “Bhagwan ke ghar der hei par andher nahi” meaning “There is a delay in justice at the Lord’s abode, though, no darkness”. In other words, the light ultimately shines thru.
Collective “Law of Karma” appears to be getting closer and closer to its finest to dispense its proverbial fruits to all Americans for the better of worse. America has hired a “perfect guy” in the form of a “Lord of Death” literally and figuratively to bring annihilation for millions of people – either lives and/or livelihoods, not just within the grand old U.S. of A, however, even world at large.
Then quite timely are the following two YouTube shorts of a spiritual master, Osho, speaking of the ‘Total War’ totaling about 5 minutes altogether that was professed several decades ago.
Osho gave a prophetic warning in there ago about the ‘Total War’, a very small preview of which we witnessed about a week ago involving not only U.S., Israel and Iran, though, even entangling many other ‘innocent’ middle eastern countries unwittingly.
His alternative like countless other ‘masters’ prescribe – Meditation – the only tool available for the real and long-lasting peace for the mankind. Each individual holds some responsibility towards a shared goal of the humanity that Osho pointed out clearly.
Osho speaks of ‘mass suicide’ that the ‘Total War’ can bring. It is an uncanny resemblance to our “suicidal-lunatic-evil” president who made his first “Suicide Attempt 1.0” with the tariffs that has caused so much damage already only to be overturned by our Supreme Court, thankfully. Thankfully, that appears to be reversible. However, the below one? No, not at all.
Now, the subsequent “Suicide Attempt 2.0” with the Iran War can be quite consequential and the impacts and miseries are beyond fathom, beyond our imagination, not just here in the U.S., however, globally, if they turn into the protracted war, which appears to be a not-so-small probability, given how our megalomaniac president has operated all along, which is to only satisfy and feed the big beast – “his ego” and unfettered control and power hunger.
The alliance between the U.S. and Europe under North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to defend these two continents was well under attack by our sitting president for quite some time only to “beg” for its help upon starting this “unprovoked” war and then insulting these countries by calling them ‘cowards’ when in fact the wise heads prevailed and denied the help to our ‘suicidal’ president.
NATO’s rule is pretty simple: “An attack on one is an attack on all members”
There is a lot of beauty, depth, strength and character in these words that our president is hugely devoid of.
NATO is probably a reason why there has been no “World War III” after having seen the World War II in the early to middle part of the last century. The question it begs is that for how long we can maintain that very equilibrium in spite of many isolated wars since the last world war that have hobbled numerous other countries.
Current control and closure of the “Strait of Hormuz” (a narrow sea passage) by Iran is one of those tricky and delicate balancing acts that controls about one fifth of the oil and liquified natural gas (LNG) supply for the world. This is no small amount of volume; hence, we have seen more than necessary turbulence in the financial markets during last few weeks.
Such closure of a critical passage or rather a choke point, especially for an extended period of time, threatens severe, very severe, global energy shortages and price surges, as it is a major transit route for global petroleum and LNG, leading to major humanitarian crisis. As we know it, energy is a lifeblood of the economy and it affects every aspect of economy from inflation to growth to mere survival.
Ordinary folks in the U.S. have started seeing the effects already at the gas stations with the gas price approaching $4 a gallon. Asian countries also bear the major brunt of these effects due to their heavy dependence on the oil flowing from the middle east region.
In summation, we have a blood on our hands in this once-great nation for a countless number of innocent people and ruining lives of many over the course of last half a century or even more, not just straight out of wars though via a lot of unwarranted political interventions and regime changes arising out of self-interested and ill-conceived foreign policies. Thus, we cannot even imagine a picture where and how the netizens in our country can escape the punishment of our bad karma, be it in an “individual” or a “collective” karma.
