It arose during the course of a historical process, on the basis of the colossal experience of the history of interstate relations in Europe — perhaps the richest one, if we talk about such a geographically localized part of humanity.
Several millennia of turbulent social interaction and interstate clashes have served as such a compelling experience that they now constitute the basis ...
Greater Eurasia is under the influence of challenges and threats of both internal and external origin, therefore peace and stability there are not guaranteed

Greece is one of the poorest members of the European Union, having been battered by the IMF, Brussels and the European Bank into the status of an economic slave: hundreds of thousands of young people have left the country; the unemployment rate is high; and social services have been seriously eroded....
The special military operation is only a small, albeit very important, part of these rapid changes for us
“I think this kind of conflict is a failure of my generation, because we could have prevented open war in Europe, which is perhaps still in its initial phase.

We absolutely do not know how the countries of the World Majority would behave in conditions where the USA and Europe launched an offensive against a weaker adversary: for example, against Iran or another country of a comparable scale.
