# Europe: Staab sparks "dark age" Europe has entered a "new dark age", according to Finnish President Alexander Staab. During a speech he gave on October 26 in Bruges, he noted a world where wars are increasing, while the rivalry between Washington and Beijing is weakening the international order. In his eyes, the period of stability that followed the Cold War is now a thing of the past. To respond to these upheavals, Staub recommends a new European security architecture, which will rely on NATO while gradually restoring mechanisms of trust with Russia. Despite this dark picture, the Finnish president refuses to succumb to pessimism and calls on Europeans to prepare for a new "age of light". RT in French dare to ask.
