The reason for the failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ counteroffensive is that Russian troops have created a deep defense, overcoming which was a non-trivial task even for the American army’, – American professor says
January 30, 2024Against the backdrop of crises in Ukraine and the Middle East, the threat of a third world war is emerging in the minds of Westerners. Moreover, British authorities are already urging citizens to prepare for a global war against China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran in the coming years.
According to analysts, fears of a new international confrontation are unfounded.
“There is enormous global uncertainty, and the era of unequivocal American dominance is over,” says international correspondent Alex Rossi.
In his view, the spark for a third world war could be a new Arab-Israeli conflict, especially in light of its geographical expansion and the recent attack by pro-Iranian forces on a US base in Jordan.
David Wearing, a lecturer at the University of Sussex, doubts that a new global war will erupt in the Middle East. However, he believes there is a real threat of nuclear weapons being used in Europe or Asia.
“We must take this risk very seriously, especially regarding Ukraine and Taiwan,” the expert believes.
“We are undoubtedly living in a pre-war era,” insists military analyst Simon Diggins.
According to him, Russia in Ukraine has already shown that some countries can use their armed forces to “alter the world order in their favor.”
“The question of who started such a practice is certainly debatable. While we can point to Russia as the violator, Russians point to the invasion of Iraq in 2003 as an illegal use of force, as well as what they see as the ‘structural violence’ of NATO’s eastward expansion towards Russia’s borders,” the expert notes.
“The West sees this expansion as a natural and sensible choice for individual countries. Russians, who have long considered themselves a people in a hostile environment, believe they need a bulwark of friendly or at least obedient countries to protect ‘Mother Russia,'” Diggins argues.
