In 2022, the world came closer to war between the great powers than at any time since the end of the Cold War. Russia launched an all-out invasion of Ukraine, an attack that immediately resulted in a combination of sanctions and direct military support for Kiev.
But the war also had effects on the world stage. And we have already left 2022 behind, but what can happen during 2023. Based on this, "Business Insider" has listed five dangerous issues that could lead to the outbreak of the so-called "Third World War".
Ukraine
Concerns that Russia might use nuclear weapons appear to have faded. However, escalation remains a concern. Also, concerns over Ukraine's ability to continue the war in the long term could force Kiev to take risky steps.
An expansion of the war in NATO does not seem on the horizon, but possible; Russian use of nuclear weapons remains unthinkable, but by no means impossible.
Joe Biden's administration and its allies in Europe have been extremely wary of the risks of escalation, but the parties may become willing to accept the risk of a wider conflict.
Taiwan
Concern about the imminence of war between Taiwan and China has faded somewhat in recent months, largely due to China's disastrous experience with COVID-19. However, tensions between them remain significant.
The willingness of the Biden administration to take risky rhetorical stances in defense of Taiwan shows that Washington has real concern about the prospects of a Chinese attack.
At the same time, these statements (and behavior, such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taipei) risk triggering Chinese escalation.
This conceivable conflict, however, would end up involving the United States and most likely Japan, and thus constitute a war of great powers.
Greece-Turkey
“E humbur” në të gjithë diskutimin për rigjallërimin e NATO-s në përgjigje të pushtimit rus të Ukrainës ka qenë një krizë që vazhdon të ziejë në krahun jugor të aleancës.
Gjatë vitit të kaluar tensionet midis Greqisë dhe Turqisë janë rritur ndjeshëm, të nxitura kryesisht nga kthesa e fortë e politikës së jashtme të Turqisë.
Mosmarrëveshjet midis Athinës dhe Ankarasë mbi eksplorimin e energjisë në Egje kanë nxitur tensionin aktual, megjithëse mosmarrëveshjet territoriale kanë ekzistuar për dekada.
Ndërsa duket e pamundur që një aleat i NATO-s të sulmonte hapur një aleat tjetër të NATO-s, konfliktet e kaluara i kanë sjellë të dy vendet në prag të luftës (dhe ndonjëherë pak më gjerë) pavarësisht angazhimeve të tyre në aleancë.
Çdo luftë midis Turqisë dhe Greqisë do të përfshijë menjëherë NATO-n dhe pothuajse me siguri do të rezultonte në një farë mase ndërhyrje oportuniste nga Rusia.
Gadishulli korean
Gjatë disa muajve të fundit, tensionet midis Seulit dhe Phenianit janë rritur në mënyrë të qëndrueshme, me provokimet e Koresë së Veriut, duke shkaktuar përgjigje retorike agresive nga Jugu.
Dinamika midis dy shteteve duket e nxitur nga padurimi; një padurim në Veri që bota ende refuzon ta marrë seriozisht pavarësisht nga armët e saj bërthamore, dhe një padurim në Jug që një komb me rëndësi të madhe mbetet “i ngarkuar nga fqinji i saj“.
Këto tensione nuk janë të reja, por historikisht ato janë kufizuar nga Lufta e Ftohtë dhe nga rendi ndërkombëtar liberal i pas Luftës së Ftohtë.
But if war breaks out, it could quickly become more destructive than the Russia-Ukraine War, with conventional and nuclear weapons — in terrible numbers on both sides.
China-India
Sporadic fighting between China and India continues in the "eyes of the world". While fighting has so far remained fairly limited, the desire to protect national prestige can quickly become poisonous to even the wisest and most reasonable of leaders.
At some point, either the Indians or the Chinese may be tempted to resolve the problem through escalation, a step that may work as intended, or that may open the door to a much larger and more destructive conflict.
