HAS THE WORLD UNITED SINCE WW II?

[SPECIAL EDITION ON UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY (UNGA) 79 - 10TH - 30TH SEPTEMBER, 2024.]

None of the world leaders past and present could claim credit to any inventions in science and technology but all share a common urge to destroy and destabilize the MYSTERIOUS ORDER OF CREATION AND NATURE THROUGH WARS and various forms of atmospheric pollution from gas flaring to fossil fuel/green house emissions!
The United States ordered the dropping of Hydrogen Bombs twice on the Japan's cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to punish that country for stubbornly refusing to surrender to the Allied Forces during the Second World War! America claims to be world's most powerful nation and universal POLICEMAN but always rivaled by Russia militarily and China economically! Following closely behind them are the United Kingdom and France, all of them who now have permanent seats with VETO POWERS as the inner caucus of the United Nations Security Council!

THERE WAS A WORLD WAR ONE!
War I or the First World War (28 July 1914 – 11 November 1918), also known as the Great War, was a global conflict between two coalitions: the Allies (or Entente) and the Central Powers. World War I began after the assassination of Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand by South Slav nationalist Gavrilo Princip on June 28, 1914.

AND THERE WAS A SECOND WORLD WAR!
World War II or the Second World War (1st September 1939 – 2nd September 1945) was a global conflict between two coalitions: the Allies and the Axis powers. Nearly all the world's countries—including all the great powers—participated, with many investing all available economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities in pursuit of total war, blurring the distinction between military and civilian resources. Tanks and aircraft played major roles, with the latter enabling the strategic bombing of population centres and delivery of the only two nuclear weapons ever used in war. World War II was the deadliest conflict in history, resulting in 70 to 85 million fatalities, more than half of which were civilians. Millions died in genocides, including the Holocaust of European Jews, and by massacres, starvation, and disease. Following the Allied powers' victory, Germany, Austria, Japan, and Korea were occupied, and war crimes tribunals were conducted against German and Japanese leaders.

WHAT TRIGGERED WORLD WAR TWO?

The causes of World War II included unresolved tensions in the aftermath of World War I and the rises of fascism in Europe and militarism in Japan, and it was preceded by events including the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, Spanish Civil War, outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War, and German annexations of Austria and the Sudetenland. World War II is generally considered to have begun on 1st September 1939, when Nazi Germany, under Adolf Hitler, invaded Poland. The United Kingdom and France declared war on Germany on 3rd September.
How Did World War I and World War II Vary In Terms of the Number of Casualties? WWII was more deadly and widespread than WWI, which had around 8.5 million military fatalities, with over 16 million military fatalities and an estimated 70-85 million overall casualties, including civilians.

THE WORLD IS SUPPOSED TO BE AT PEACE BUT......?

1. A UKRAINE AND RUSSIA WAR IS ONGOING!
Presently, the Ukraine - Russia War is over two years - 24th February 2022 - TO DATE, with a continuous record of daily fatalities/calamities /casualties on both sides!
This is a war of illegal occupation of a sovereign state by a World Power that should normally protect it! Russia has laughed off Ukrainian claims that the brutal war between the two countries is near an end. Earlier this week (22nd September 2024), at UNGA 79, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the war with Russia could end sooner than some people think. BUT Russian foreign ministry Sergey Lavrov said Moscow’s response to Kyiv was simply to keep winning the war, which he said was “unleashed by Western countries at the hands of Ukrainians”. He said: “The victory is needed. They [the West] do not understand any other language. This victory will be ours, we have no doubt.” Mr Lavrov added that Russians had become “truly united in the face of war”.
2. AND AN ISRAEL - HAMAS/HEZBOLLAH - CONFLICT IS RAGING : OCTOBER 7, 2023- TO DATE!!
A day after Hamas launched its 7th October 2023 attacks on Israel, IRAN-backed Hezbollah joined the conflict, citing support for the Palestinians, by firing on Shebaa Farms, Safed, Nahariya, and other Israeli military positions. Since then, Hezbollah and Israel have been involved in cross-border military exchanges that have displaced entire communities in Israel and Lebanon, with significant damage to buildings and land along the border. From 7th October 2023 to 20th September 2024, there were 10,200 cross border attacks, of which Israel launched 8,300. Over 96,000 people in Israel and over 111,000 in Lebanon have been displaced. As of 24th August 2024, there were 564 confirmed deaths in Lebanon, including 133 civilians. Israel and Hezbollah have maintained their attacks at a level that causes harm without escalating into a full-scale war.
Hezbollah has stated it will continue attacking Israel until Israel halts its operations in Gaza, where over 40,000 Palestinians have been killed!!!!
PRECEDING NARRATIVES ARE WORLD POWERS STRATEGY OF DIVIDE & RULE!
The World Powers were the COLONIALISTS, the WAR MONGERS, the NEO-COLONIALISTS and now pretending to be TRUCE BROKERS!

Conflicts are ongoing in about 40 Countries including South Sudan Afghanistan, Iran, DR Congo, India etc! Hypocrisy is their PAST TIME because it is an open secret that they cannot survive without developing nations (especially Africa & some Far East Countries), from where major natural resources for industry and production are regularly sourced!
ECONOMIC SANCTIONS were slammed on non-cooperative nations and highly-indebted States were cowed into complying with World Bank & International Monetary Fund (IMF) very stringent financial regulations that would keep them SUB-SERVIENT LIKE NIGERIA FOREVER!
NOT THROUGH PRODIGAL/EXTRAVAGANT EXPENDITURES!

For example, President Bola Tinubu spent N9.2billion To Purchase 'State House Vehicles' In Three Months Amid Hardships - March - May 2024 - apart from NGN160 billion expended in 2023 for the purchase of Foreign Vehicles for the Executive and National Assembly (NASS), and the new PRESIDENTIAL AIRCRAFT at N150 billion naira plus N5 billion naira for a luxurious YATCH with borrowed. monies - AND HAD THE EFFRONTERY TO SHAMELESSLY BEG FOR DEBT FORGIVENESS AT UNGA 79!!!!¡
THE PANACEA TO WORLD PEACE IS FOR MEN TO DWELL IN THE WORD OF GOD AND NOT IN THE EPHEMERAL THINGS OF THE WORLD THAT WOULD PERISH!
Psalms 133:1-3. " Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
[2]It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
[3]As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
Psalms 133:1-3. EXPOSITION:
We cannot say too much, it were well if enough could be said, to persuade people to live together in peace. It is good for us, for our honour and comfort; and brings constant delight to those who live in unity.
The pleasantness of this is likened to the holy anointing oil. This is the fruit of the Spirit, the proof of our union with Christ, and adorns his gospel.
It is profitable as well as pleasing; it brings blessings numerous as the drops of dew. It cools the scorching heat of men's passions, as the dews cool the air and refresh the earth.
It moistens the heart, and makes it fit to receive the good seed of the word, and to make it fruitful.
See the proof of the excellency of brotherly love: where brethren dwell together in unity, the Lord commands the blessing.
God commands the blessing; man can but beg a blessing. Believers that live in love and peace, shall have the God of love and peace with them now, and they shall shortly be with him for ever, in the world of endless love and peace. May all who love the Lord forbear and forgive one another, as God, for Christ's sake, hath forgiven them.

WORLD NATIONS MUST UNITE & BE AT PEACE TO AVOID WORLD WAR THREE WHICH SEEMS IMMINENT !!!!!

[EXPECT A PRIME MINISTER IN NIGERIA NOW!]
