The third world is already going: why war in Ukraine is only the beginning, and why is it all

For those who are afraid of the beginning of the Third World War, journalist Denis Popovich has bad news: it has already begun. It was launched by Putin, but the confrontation of Russia and Ukraine is an even insignificant conflict, how to compare with what can unfold in the world, and is already unfolding . . . Ante Bellum when I was asked, whether the Third World War will begin, I answer - it is already going! Yes, two countries - Russia and Ukraine (on the side of Russia are already a little DPRK).

However, the level of involvement is absolutely planetary. On the one hand, Ramstein coalition, more than 50 countries from several continents that support Ukraine. On the other hand, Iran, China and DPRK, which in one way or another support Russia. However, the end or freezing of the Russian-Ukrainian war will not mean the end of the third world. On the contrary, the flywheel of the Third World only began to promote. Vladimir Putin, who attacked Ukraine, pressed on the trigger.

He began a purely colonial war, trying to return Ukraine to control, to renew the Soviet Empire, and thus to intimidate the world to cut out the spheres of influence. He managed to intimidate the world to some extent. The only one who was not scared was Ukraine itself, so Putin's imperialism did not succeed. Colonial wars are the nineteenth-the beginning of the twentieth century, but the controversy through the colonies became one of the main causes of the beginning of the destructive World War I.

Who does not remember the story - he is doomed to repetition. Of course, Putin suffered a thinker, he wrote pseudo -historical articles on "Who created Ukraine". He demolished Tair Carlson's brain, telling him about the Pechenegs, but Putin did not know history. He did not draw any conclusions from her, because otherwise he would not start this war. Having violated (for the first time after the Second World War) the borders of another state - Ukraine, Putin violated international law.

He became a murderer and a criminal. But at the same time, he showed that international law does not work, and those super -state institutions that are able to ensure the rule of law, as well as punish criminals are ineffective. Because if they were effective, Putin would have already hung in the loop, as Hitler's followers. Is it effective, for example, the UN? And this organization, by the way, was created after the Second World War to maintain and strengthen peace. That is, to prevent new wars.

UN is not effective! And just because of the role of Russia. The influence of the UN as an organization that supports peace and prevents wars is approaching absolute zero today. Donald Trump says about it! He directly states that the UN is not fulfilled and poorly guided. Donald Trump criticizes NATO, brings out the US with WHO, withdraws its country from the UN Security Council. Logic is simple.

If certain super -state organizations, thanks to Putin, showed their complete inefficiency, then their existence does not make sense. If it does not make sense, then these organizations should be dismantled. Now Trump is actively engaged. And he found followers: Argentina came out of WHO, and Israel - from the UN Human Rights Security Council. And this is just the beginning. The old world system, formed after the Second World War, has expelled its. He showed his incapacity and began to crumble.

Does Donald Trump Project a new world system are a big question. But when the old global relationship system is destroyed, a new one must appear in its place. Global redistribution always leads to global shocks. This is how the story works. And global shock is a world war. Two world, Great wars have always been preceded by relatively small wars. Our war lasts 3 years. Or all 11. But it is really relatively small as comparable to what may be on.

In my opinion, the world has already crossed the stage when shots were fired in Sarajevo or the first German tanks broke through the border of Poland. Putin launched the war, but he would not finish it. It will not be among those who will create a new world structure. For he thinks the categories of the early XX century, and in the yard - for a long time the 21st century. Therefore, his army is already fighting on donkeys. Colonial wars are the past.

The future is the wars of drones, autonomous robotic systems, artificial intelligence. The outline of this is already demonstrated by the Russian-Ukrainian war. Will it end? I think so. But the great third world conflict has just begun. Its configuration has not yet been decided. But we definitely need to choose the right side. It is unlikely that it will work out.
