Are we heading for World War III?
Power sometimes blinds the conscience of conscientious objectors. Russia is pointing out the Ukraine crisis to the whole world by hinting at that.
Why does Russia want to occupy Ukraine, where Russia is the largest country in the world. Russia is five times as big as India, twice as big as the United States, and 70 times as big as Britain. Russia has been very scared since then.Russia has been in a state of panic since Poland and Hungary became members of NATO in 1999.
Why is Russia afraid of NATO? So is the one-time largest Soviet Union suffering from a crisis of its existence? In fact, it is very much so. That they are only a defensive military organization.
Ukraine, a member of the European Union, has long sought to join NATO, but has not been able to do so for Russia.
Ukraine’s membership in NATO means NATO’s entry into Russia’s doorstep, which they will never allow.
Always aware of the activities of this military organization. However, NATO claims that they are only a self-defense military organization.
On this side, as always, the United States is playing the dirtiest game in world politics. Despite the false assurances that Ukraine is on their side, Ukraine is not on their side in such a tiring moment. So is it intended to benefit silently?And how much will the United States benefit from this? Even if no one is the last victim, Ukraine will have to pay the ultimate price.
If this war reaches its climax, the world market could collapse. The whole of Europe will be in a catastrophe. Where 35% of Europe’s gas is imported from Russia.How much will Russia be able to adapt to the overall international sanctions?
But are we heading for World War III? The economic collapse of the world market, Russia’s conservative destructive behavior, the silent role of influential countries, America’s insidious thinking will not work.
