I insist on holding Britain and America largely responsible for the catastrophic wars occurring around the world, because they are the primary and direct beneficiaries of these conflicts, in one way or another. When Britain fuels racial and ethnic conflicts, causing conflict and internal disintegration, it bears some responsibility for what is happening. Not all peoples know how to decide their own destiny, and with high rates of ignorance and low levels of education, it is easy to manipulate them and appoint corrupt rulers to ensure control. When you claim to help a blind man, then make him walk along a path with a hole in it, only to fall into that hole, should we blame the man for being blind and unable to know the road until he regains his sight, or should we blame me for deceiving him and making him walk toward that hole? We have witnessed on many occasions these colonial powers using the United Nations to decide whether to wage war, as happened with the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and how they also use their veto power to defend their allies. We have also seen what the United States does to benefit Israel, even going so far as to accuse the International Criminal Court of bias because they issued arrest warrants against Israeli entities due to the war in Gaza. Who do we blame here?

India and Pakistan are independent countries and have the legitimacy to make the appropriate decision whether to go to war or not. This is true, and I agree with you. However, there is an element missing from the picture, because those fueling these conflicts are the real beneficiaries, and they are an important part of understanding how things are going and how we got to where we are.
Wars have always happened in American, African and Asian continents a long time before the native tribes, kingdoms and civilizations entered in contact with the Europeans. The europeans just have introduced superior military technology to those conflicts, what eventually caused much more impacting consequences. The point is: human nature is the same in every human beings. The white man isn't bad, while the yellow and black men are good. If the called opressed had the necessary tools, they would have been the opressors instead.

And by assuming not everyone has how to decide their own destinies in a time where information reaches everywhere through technology, at same time the blind man analogy is used, it means to consider a considerable portion of the global population to be disabled individuals, cognitively speaking... So should them be treated like disabled individuals?

It's ironical to think that way, because by your theory, it sounds exactly what Britain and America would want you to do...
