the eve of World War III; How to prevent a new world war? | Ordinary people pay the true price of war.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez wrote in a note in Foreign Affairs:
At some point in the last decade, the world gradually accepted that war was an inevitable phenomenon.

Meanwhile, governments have allocated more funds than before for possible future wars and are on alert. Military expenditures are increasing, the arms and technology competition is intensifying.
Governments must now relearn the art of resisting war. Each country has the responsibility to take measures that limit the ability of others to start a war.
