Deadly wars

With major conflicts raging in Ukraine, Gaza and Sudan, the world is becoming frightening. The world had pinned its hopes on President Trump, that he would stop these battles. However, even the United Nations has not been able to restore peace.

My fear is that another World War may commence by sheer accident. Some enraged nation may drop a nuclear weapon, to resolve some intractable issues. Then, other nations and allies may be compelled to join battle. Very soon, the situation will be uncontrollable.

The third World War will not follow the pattern of the previous wars. As it is, the people and leaders of various nations are weary of the protracted battles in Ukraine and Gaza. All the efforts to restore peace are flopping.

The United Nations was formed to prevent another World War. It must seize the initiative and leadership. It should act. Now.
