How close is the world to the dreaded nuclear war of WW3?

Could it have started from the Russia-Ukraine proxy war?

Is the West, especially the EU, becoming desensitized about the risk of nuclear war?

Did Russian president Putin save the world from nuclear Armageddon?

Who deserves the Nobel peace prize?

Putin?

Trump?

Or both?

Indeed, humanity's future truly depends on all superpowers learning to coexist peacefully with one another, and never to wage wars again, whether proxy wars or direct wars.

Hopefully, the Ukraine war would help all to realize that it is just too risky to carry on as before.
