Last year’s national title guarantees nothing for the 2022 Dawgs
Offseason talk of the likelihood of back-to-back national titles for Georgia is putting the cart before the horse. If that hadn’t been the case, the Dawgs might not have made it to Indianapolis, after losing rather badly to Alabama in the SEC title game. Mackenzie Miles , Dawgnation Being the “defending national champion” really means nothing, Smart noted at a press conference this past Tuesday. However, Georgia does approach the 2022 season with “a lot of holes to fill,” as Smart said, and several questions to be answered. That’s not to diminish the key defensive players who are returning.

Civilized Nations and Bigoted People
The Russia- Ukraine war has unfolded the hidden policy and ideology of the Western world and its thinkers. So the western media portrayed the rulers of these nations as cruel and tyrant oppressors and depicted them as a threat to humanity. No country in the Western world has banned Israel nor declared it a terrorist country, due to their political and economic interests. These bigoted people of modern civilized nations mourn the death of only those people who have brown hair and blue eyes as these are their parameters for being a human being. The United Nations should play its pivotal role in solving the world political conflicts peacefully arising in different parts of the world rather than being a mere spectator and puppet of few nuclear powers of the world.

CM Buzdar – PM Imran’s Achilles’ heel
But the prime minister does not seem to mind it, walking into the same wall despite political ramifications. Many, including the power stakeholders, have long asked the prime minister to remove the Punjab CM but he thumbed at their demands. “Imran Khan’s stubbornness not to replace Usman Buzdar against all advice is reflective of his callous attitude towards governance,” PPP’s Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar remarked. ‘Was Buzdar worth it?’The question that the lawmakers and political analysts have been raising is simple: was it worth appointing Buzdar as Punjab CM in the first place and saving him till the end? He had later joined the Junoobi Punjab Sooba Mahaz group, which later on merged in PTI before the 2018 elections.
