So far, Russia, together with Iran, North Korea and, possibly, China, is stubbornly pushing the planet toward World War III. After attacking neighboring Georgia in 2008, Russia attacked Ukraine in 2014, capturing the Krim Peninsula and parts of two regions of Ukraine. The reaction of the international community to these wars was so weak that Putin decided to go further and in 2022, with all his armies, attacked Ukraine from three sides, trying to seize its entire territory in a few days. He would have captured it, and even the leaders of world states have almost come to terms with this. But these plans were thwarted by the Ukrainian people and their armed forces, which for almost two years have been repelling the attacks of the Russian occupiers and at the same time inflicting crushing blows on the “second army of the world.” No European state could withstand such a blow. Yes, Ukraine is being helped with weapons, funding and material assistance.
To weaken aid to Ukraine, Russia directly and indirectly incites other military conflicts in the world. That's why Hamas attacked Israel, Venezuela attacked Guyana, and the Houthis terrorized with pirate attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea. Russia has shown an example of impunity and permissiveness. It got to the point that the Houthis even attacked US and British warships with Iranian missiles and drones a few days ago. Thus, authoritarian regimes test the strength and determination of both NATO countries and the entire civilized world. If there had been no response, they would have moved on and a Russian attack on one of the NATO countries would have become a reality.
Therefore, tonight the United States and Great Britain, with the support of other countries, launched missile and bomb attacks on military installations of the Houthi movement in Yemen. If we do not defend universal human values, war will be inevitable, including a world war.
