Are Governments Around the World Doing Enough to Combat the Risks of Global War?

Are governments around the world doing enough to combat the risks of global war?

After the Second World War almost 73 years passed. This war brought a huge number of victims. Every year on May 9 we thank those who gave their lives for us, for our peaceful future. But what can we see now in the world? With the development of technology, living standards and knowledge in general, countries are creating more new ways of destroying humanity. The question immediately arises: Is it the readiness of the countries to start World War III or are they just precautions and self-defense measures?

According to many well-known politicians, in 2019 the world war could begin in such places as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Iran, Syria (where military operations are already under way), Taiwan and Ukraine. These places are chosen because of constant interethnic conflicts and rivalry between the countries.

The development of nuclear weapons is another possible reason for the outbreak of the World War. Each country is trying to create the most powerful nuclear weapons. At first it was for self-defense, but now there are news in the media where countries threaten each other to use this weapon. And if one starts, then the war will really be global for the simple reason that the massive use of nuclear weapons on such a scale will not give anyone the chance to stand aside and observe from the outside.

Other scientists say that military operations will be conducted not only on land, water, in the air, but also in cyberspace. With the development of technology, basic data is stored on the Internet. And in the end it turns out that anyone who quickly breaks the database of another country, he win in the war. Therefore, now a lot of money, time  is allotted for virtual protection of all data from each country.

In addition, governments conclude various treaties with each other, which helps to delay the unleashing of a world war. For example, an agreement on the prohibition of nuclear weapons, which should become an unequivocal political commitment for the creation and maintenance of a world free of nuclear weapons.
