1. Story of Mr. X "architect of #ColdWar"
The advises of Mr X to The US will
always be helpful to us from #JNU to #Pakistan to #Kathua

This is the STORY of a person #Lost_in_the_pages_of_history

I PROMISE by the end of the #RightFactsThread you'll have #Goosebumps 🙏🙏

2. This person is known to the world as #Mr_X for decades thanks to an ARTICLE he wrote in @ForeignAffairs (july 1946) with the pen name of Mr. X

His real name was #GeorgeKenan the US ambassador to erstwhile Soviet Union in 1940s

The article was an excerpt of his LONG TELEGRAM

3. The #LongTelegram as it's known was shot back in The US gave 2 things:

👉 Geopolitical reality post WWII
👉he proposed that the US should adopt the strategy of “containment”—not conventional warfare

His other advises in his #LongTelegram r directly relevant in Indian context

4. Advise to US on Soviet (#India on #Pak)

“we hav here no investments to guard, no actual trade to lose, virtually no citizens to protect, few cultural contacts to preserve Our only stake lies in wht v hope rathr thn what v hav… There can be NO permanent peaceful co-existence"

5. On "The strategy of #Leftists

👉To dominate the polity and #publicmood of these countries" Through: " #women 's organizations, racial societies, #religious societies, social organizations, cultural groups, #institutions, #media etc”

(India: they r #JNU+#Feminists+#NDTV)

6. 👉It is incredible that each of the 5000 words of his #LongTelegram was The US #ColdWar POLICY for 5 decades
👉What's #Shocking was that he #Hated #TheUS for which He spent his life safeguarding its interests as
👉He hated its democracy & #BiasedMedia, considered a roadblock.

7. The most incredulous aspect was his LOVE for Russians, he said "Russia was in MY BLOOD" "the only country I love"

Yet he #HATED #leftists & #Marxism which he believed to b committing absolute "evil" in the name of Human rights & ruined ordinary People's life.

8. Unlike the #ColdWar times when battle lines were clearly drawn between the nations on the basis of left and right...

Today we r battling the inhuman, hypocritic left with our nations.

It is important that we counter their propaganda relentlessly from #Kathua to #JNU🙏🙏

Your views @CChristineFair ...u agree with Stephan P Cohen who consider India-Pak conflict as that of "Minority pair" and that of an intractable one??
