在這個動盪不安的時刻,世界正處於一個危險的局面。防衛部長格蘭特·夏普斯(Grant Shapps)警告說,未來五年內,世界可能會陷入涉及中國、俄羅斯、北韓和伊朗的戰爭之中,並表示我們正在從“戰後世界”轉向“戰前世界”¹。英國陸軍總司令帕特里克·桑德斯爵士(General Sir Patrick Sanders)表示,英國公民應該“接受訓練並裝備”,以應對可能與俄羅斯的戰爭,並形容今天的人是“戰前一代”¹。桑德斯爵士的言論引發了對徵兵的擔憂,英國前北約最高指揮官理查德·雪里夫爵士(General Sir Richard Sherriff)表示,現在是考慮徵兵的時候了¹。
Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the war in the Middle East has resumed, tensions in the Taiwan Strait have risen, and the world situation has fallen into chaos. Many fear that these regional conflicts could escalate into World War III, with the destruction of humanity.
However, in the face of these crises, the international community appears powerless or unwilling to intervene. The UN Security Council has been unable to adopt any effective resolution because of the conflicting interests of the five permanent members. NATO and the European Union have been more direct or indirect in provoking the Russia-Ukraine war, and have invested weapons and volunteers to promote the dispute. While the United Nations should be purely peaceful, what cannot be prevented is that it will have armed forces in the new millennium. Although some of them were done in self-defense, they were also acts of war, because the United Nations armed forces still took many lives.
However, this is not the whole story, because the idea of creating an EU has already been formed in the heads of some senior European leaders, and people will lose a lot of freedom, and many governments will sell their countries and become dependent on the EU, and the EU will have strong authoritarian power. After the pandemic in 2020 and the Capitol riot in 2021, the United States was deeply divided and the government lost leadership and trust.
The United States played the main role in invading many countries under the guise of peace and opposition to terrorism, blowing everything up and causing countless casualties.
The military politics of the United States are also unrestrained, and their economic and other political structures are focused on building and operating the world's police force, which has been for a long time.
But this is not enough, under the cloak of globalized peace, American politics will aspire to hegemony over the global economy.
If people don't treat it rationally, it will lead to World War III
The United States provoked military threats against China in Taiwan, the Philippines, India, Japan, and the South China Sea, and China has also established strategic alliances with Iran, North Korea, Russia, and other countries. Other countries, such as Japan, India, Australia, etc., have also joined the U.S. alliance. Iranian Foreign Minister Abdollahian warned Israel and the United States that the situation in the Middle East is at risk of spiraling out of control due to the Israeli-Palestinian war. U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that appropriate actions would be taken in response to the escalation of the situation. Iran and the United States do not seem to be moving towards a direct military confrontation at the moment, but there are still threats from both sides.

Under such circumstances, a third world war seems inevitable. However, this war will be different from the previous two world wars, it will be a full-scale nuclear war involving multiple nuclear-armed states and could lead to a global nuclear winter. It will be the most tragic war in human history, and possibly the last.
Such cruel days would last for 888 days and cause the destruction of civilization.
However, this terrible scenario will continue, with plagues and diseases and famines spreading among the population, and the world economy will collapse completely, making it impossible to produce any goods.
Needless to say, all food and medicine etc were rationed, and anyone who tried to reach out was sentenced to death.
Crazy wars can spread not only to land, but also to the oceans, the atmosphere and even outer space.
In the future, settlements will be built under the ocean, and they will be attacked and destroyed, and thousands of people below will lose their lives.
However, huge ocean whirlpools are created by undersea equipment, as in cities under the sea, several groups of submarine pirates will fire blasting power at navies on the surface of the ocean in the depths of the ocean floor.
Are we really unable to stop this catastrophe? Are we really just watching as countries want to start a third world war and are helpless? Have we really lost hope for peace? In my opinion, the answer is no. I believe that we still have the opportunity, the responsibility, and the strength to avoid this war, to preserve the world, to protect our future. What we need is more communication and cooperation, not confrontation and hostility. What we need is more understanding and respect, not prejudice and hatred. What we need is more consensus and compromise, not stubbornness and toughness. What we need is more wisdom and courage, not stupidity and cowardice. What we need is more people, like you, who care about the world, about this era, and about this subject. What we need is more people, like you, to use your pen, your voice, and your actions to express your thoughts, deliver your messages, and influence your environment. What we need is more people, like you, who do not give up, do not be silent, do not ignore, do not be indifferent, do not despair, do not give in. What we need is more people, like you, who have dreams, beliefs, passions, responsibilities, love, and strength. We need you.
The governments of the world For power and profit Do not hesitate to start wars Let the innocent people Suffer pain and suffering
They forgot the value of peace They ignored the dignity of humanity They trampled on the respect for life They only care about their own desires They do not know what love is
I lament such a world I long for such a world A world full of harmony A world where everyone is equal
A Tale of Double Standards: The Tragic Narratives of Alan Kurdi and Innocent Children in Gaza
Introduction:
The global community has been witness to countless tragedies involving innocent children, yet the response to these events often varies significantly based on geopolitical factors. The cases of Alan Kurdi, the Syrian Kurdish toddler who drowned in the Mediterranean Sea in 2015, and the children of Gaza who have fallen victim to violence, particularly at the hands of Israel, highlight the stark disparities in international reactions and the underlying double standards that persist. This essay delves into the reasons behind the disproportionate outrage and attention afforded to some tragedies over others, shedding light on the unfairness perpetuated by key players such as Israel, Europe, and the United States.
Alan Kurdi: A Symbol of Refugee Crisis
The image of three-year-old Alan Kurdi lying lifeless on a beach sparked global outrage and brought renewed attention to the plight of refugees fleeing conflict in Syria. Alan Kurdi became a symbol of the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the Middle East, prompting calls for action and compassion from around the world. However, the reaction to Alan Kurdi's death stands in stark contrast to the muted response to the ongoing violence and loss of innocent lives in Gaza.
Children of Gaza: Victims of Conflict and Injustice
For years, the children of Gaza have been subjected to violence, displacement, and trauma as a result of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The indiscriminate bombing campaigns and military operations by Israel have led to countless civilian casualties, including children who have been killed, maimed, or orphaned. Despite the staggering human cost, the international community, particularly Israel's allies in Europe and the United States, have often turned a blind eye to the suffering of Palestinian children, choosing instead to prioritize political interests over humanitarian concerns.
Double Standards and Geopolitical Realities
The differential treatment of tragedies such as Alan Kurdi's death and the plight of Gaza's children underscores the existence of double standards shaped by geopolitical considerations. Israel, backed by powerful allies like the United States, enjoys impunity for its actions and is shielded from accountability on the international stage. Meanwhile, refugees like Alan Kurdi and the civilians of Gaza are left to bear the brunt of conflict and injustice, their lives deemed expendable in the pursuit of political agendas.
Conclusion:
The unequal response to the deaths of Alan Kurdi and the children of Gaza lays bare the glaring injustices and double standards that persist in the global order. While the tragic loss of innocent lives should evoke universal outrage and solidarity, the reality is that some lives are valued more than others based on factors such as nationality, ethnicity, and geopolitical alliances. As advocates for justice and human rights, it is imperative that we challenge these inequities and demand accountability for all perpetrators of violence against children, regardless of their nationality or political affiliation. Only then can we truly aspire to create a world where every child's life is valued and protected.
