, reportedly around one billion dollars. This has raised a simple question: if peace and sovereignty are called “priceless,” why is there suddenly a price tag?
The problem is not about loving or rejecting peace. It is about two different ways of thinking. One says peace and independence are core values. The other treats security like a deal that can be bought with money. These are not the same thing. Saying peace matters does not mean accepting any plan that claims to deliver it.
What the public deserves to know is: what do we actually get for this money? Who controls the decision? Who checks how it is used? And what do we lose by spending so much instead of using it for schools, hospitals, or jobs?
Most importantly, does this make the country safer in the long run, or does it set a rule that our security depends on paying powerful countries instead of on law and cooperation? Until the government explains the cost, the rules, and the long-term impact on our independence, doubt is about effectiveness and sovereignty not about rejecting peace.
