War-addicted West must stop dreaming of global domination by force

[superadmin]

While the developing countries have long been free from colonialism and imperialism, some Western countries are still dreaming about recreating the "golden age" of imperialism and colonialism, where they can achieve global domination by force.

Former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad on Friday condemned the West, particularly European countries, for being "addicted to war and killing people" in a Facebook post. "They glorify wars. They celebrate the killings … They prepare for wars with exercises and war games. They are constantly inventing new weapons which are more efficient in killing people."

In this post, Mahathir also criticized the West for provoking Russia, which eventually led to the current military conflict between Moscow and Kiev. This echoes his remarks in a recent interview with the Financial Times, where he blamed "US provocation" for increasing tensions in the Taiwan Straits and called on Southeast Asian countries to stay away from the US and the West's provocation against China.

As a 97-year-old veteran politician, Mahathir has witnessed how Malaysia has embarked on an independent development path after experiencing the pain of being colonized and the trauma of WWII ignited by Western powers. This is also a part of the history of many other Southeast Asian countries.
