New quarrel over the possible Third World War.
The current months are hectic. Between the European elections and the US ones, passing through the one just concluded G7 chaired by Italy.
Around Borgo Egnazia, in Puglia, where the meeting of the world’s major leaders took place, selfies, gaffes and dancing were seen.
Celebrations, lunches and dinners. Paratroopers, applause and smiles. The usual embrace between Meloni and Zelensky, then the space dedicated to global emergencies. The final statement is “support Kiev for as long as necessary”. Then a decision to make available 50 billion from the profits of frozen Russian assets. Unanimous line of the 7, including Giorgia Meloni, in support of Ukraine against Russia. Around Belgrade, however, things are much less relaxed.
The last appeal to stop the conflict before it is too late is from the Serbian president, Aleksandar Vučić.
Having rejected the idea of peace, there remains, according to Vučić, only one path.
“The train has left the station and no one can stop it“, he warns in the interview with Die Weltwoche.
“I think we’re getting closer to last days of possible reconsideration and reconsideration of everything that is happening in Ukraine. If these great powers do nothing soon, yes, I am almost certain that we will be faced with a real disaster.
Everyone only talks about war. Nobody wants to achieve peace. Nobody talks about peace. Peace is almost a forbidden word“.
The explanation of the president of Serbia follows the denunciation of a particular pathology of social psychology.
The groupthink, or groupthink: the collective agrees on actions or decisions that, normally and individually, would be considered unwise and irrational. Some aspects have an influence: the high cohesion of the group; directive leadership; homogeneity of ideology and…external pressure. The group that suffers from this pathology presents some basic symptoms: creation of a space of non-contradiction; a climate of self-censorship; the stereotype towards those perceived as different. Then, among others, the illusion of invulnerabilitythe one that according to Vučić represents the West.
“I understand that the West thinks it can win easily against Putin.
They want to weaken him in Ukraine, enter his space and overthrow him. Russia will no longer exist. But is it possible? That’s enough? I do not think so. In today’s Europe everyone behaves like great heroes, but they have not told their people that they will pay a very high price“.
Then the anticipation that makes you tremble. “How close are we to a third world war? We are not far away: no more than three or four months.
And there is a risk that it will happen even sooner“.
