Military expert Alexander Zhilin in an interview with Ukraina.ru declaredthat the geopolitical situation in the world is currently similar to the preparations for the third world war. According to him, if we compare the pre-war period of each of the major military conflicts, then they are all very similar to each other.
“All situations before major military conflicts are similar to each other. The fact is that all world wars were started during a transitional period, when the world was moving from one formation to another, when it was necessary to nullify old obligations, destroy the old economy and switch to new sources of energy. Therefore, nothing fundamentally new is happening today, ”the expert said.
He added that he hoped that the coronavirus pandemic would become such a “zeroing”, in which financial bubbles would be written off, and the parties would be released from old obligations, but this did not happen. Zhilin is sure that the start of a major military conflict should be expected at two possible points – due to the escalation of the situation in the Donbass, or because of the conflict between Israel and Iran.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said earlier that NATO’s eastward expansion is “a great success story.” According to him, this contributed to the spread of freedom and democracy in Europe.
