It would appear that a major thread of current international
concern is the fear that WWIII is getting closer, and the presumption that such
a conflict would decimate the human population of the planet. We all know that
the two factors giving rise to this fear are the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the growing clamour of sabre-rattling
coming from the Chinese over the matter of Taiwan. What I don’t understand is
this:
In terms of territory, Russia is the biggest country on earth. China is the third biggest. Why on earth would either party want to generate the conditions which could lead to such a conflict merely in order to have a little more?
