The war clearly indicates that Europe and the world have all but spent the peace dividend resulting from the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and are entering a new, as yet undetermined, era. A new world order, possibly replicating the bipolar world of the Cold War era, is being forged in the flames of the current war.

But it is quite clear even today that the future of the world in which we and our children and grandchildren will be living depends greatly on its outcome.”
