Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban warned on Saturday that the menacing shadow of a new global war was looming over the world, adding that war was already a reality in Europe.
"Will there be a Third World War? There is no clear answer. With [US President Donald] Trump's return to power, the risk has decreased but it has not disappeared. Judging from what I can see in international politics, the whole world can feel the chilling anticipation of war. … I must say that chilling anticipation is not always succeeded by a storm, but there are menacing shadows," Orban said in the Romanian town of Baile Tusnad.
Orban pointed to heightened tensions between major global powers, the rising number of international conflicts, the ongoing arms race, polarization, trade restrictions, and growing migration flows as some of the signs of doom.

The threat of a third world war keeps growing, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said, adding that the international community should do everything it can to prevent it.
ReplyDelete"Perhaps the most important question now is whether there will be a third world war, and the answer is that the likelihood of a world war is constantly increasing," he said in an address broadcast by the M1 TV channel.
As evidence, Orban cited the results of polls in six major countries, whose citizens consider the threat of a new world war to be quite real. The opinion that "in 5-10 years a third world war will break out is held by 55% of the French, 50% of the Spanish, 46% of the Italians, 45% of the Americans, 41% of the British, and 41% of the Germans," the premier added." "The whole world feels the cold wind of war," he noted.
