The new strain of Covid-19 strikes again, under its guerilla warfare chief Gen Omicron!
And as we like little ants fortify ourselves, building walls and digging moats against the beginning of another formidable attack from this General and his troops, why don’t we learn a few lessons from the terror attacks of the last year or two. Attacks which have left many economies the world over, crippled, with its people broken, dead or severely sick?
Let’s look at history first.
How, was Hitler finally defeated? It was when the world including the US decided to gang up against him. But remember, yes do remember that even as the world finally woke up, the dastardly dictator had already murdered six million Jews!
Those dead Jews who died in those gas chambers are a living memory of a sleeping people, and we are the ones caught napping!
Are we napping now?
By closing our borders and doing all the moves little ants do when attacked are we actually becoming ostriches hiding our heads in the sand?
New Zealand thought they could close their borders, but today cases are increasing.
Other countries did the same.
Instead let us recognize the virus as an ‘enemy of the world’ that has to be fought not through defensive actions but offensive.
We need to open our treasuries till it hurts, to rush research, vaccine, medical personal and aid to these countries affected by the new strain led by General Omicron!
Instead of closing our borders open them, so our troops will fly out, heavily armed to these countries under siege!
Because if we don’t then the General and his allies who are waiting in the sidelines will destroy the world. Just as we watched the gas chambers devouring innocent men, women and children and woke up realizing the same evil would engulf the world, let us understand that the new Hitler is a Virus.
Instead of wasting our war cries on neighbour nations, let us rush medical troops to help, because in helping we help ourselves.
We are not little kingdoms anymore, we are a global village and the only way to survive is by fortifying the whole world, using all our minds and resources collectively. Just as countries around the world during the world war stopped making cars and other fancy equipment and concentrated their efforts in manufacturing jeeps and other wartime equipment, we need also to stop stupid spending stupidly and work towards freeing these nations who are under siege!     
Rush our troops to South Africa, Botswana, Nigeria, and other nations, and join forces to destroy the enemy!
Stop other talk, other activity and concentrate on this war effort!
Then like the world lives today, we will live in a Hitlerless world!
Wake up world, before it is too late..!
