The Third World War has begun, but no one has declared it yet

“The Third World War has already started, but no one has declared it yet. It is possible that it has already begun; we just don't officially talk about it. The struggle for oil, gas, minerals, rare metals, and other resources has long started,” said the President of Serbia in an interview with Berliner Zeitung.

He noted that the First and Second World Wars began from regional conflicts, and only later did larger alliances form, which eventually led to direct confrontations. Such dynamics can be observed today, he stated.

Vučić expressed hope that escalation can be avoided but admitted that he does not see an easy path to achieving that.
