Preventing a Third World War
Since the end of World War II in 1945, there has been no other year when the possibility of a third world war has been discussed as much as in 2022, mostly in the context of the Ukraine war and United States (US)–Russia relations, but to a much lesser extent also in the context of Taiwan and US–China relations.
While it is important to avoid any exaggeration on such issues, it would be even more harmful not to note that in 2022 risks have increased discernably in a world that is already troubled by many serious dangers.
