Even France that suffered a terrible terror attack several months ago in Paris is not ranked high in this data.

The United Nations must view the world as being in WWIII so as to take appropriate countermeasures.  But who are the enemies?  We can easily admit that we are in another global war, but if we define our enemies as terrorists of any sorts, can we win this war simply.  I mean that there are more responsible people than terrorists directly engaged in acts of terror.

For example, in the morning of September 11, 2001, George H.W. Bush was meeting with a brother of Osama bin Laden in New York for some business talk.  After the 9/11 Terror, his son, namely President George W. Bush, launched the War on Terror, specifically, aiming at Iraq as well as Afghanistan, though Saddam Hussein had no direct link to Al Qaeda.  And, this War on Iraq led to the rise of Islamic Nation eventually through the complex process of the War and the withdrawal of the US military forces from Iraq in 2011.

Ironically, now the major EU nations such as Germany, France, and the UK are forced to take in hundreds of thousands of refugees from Islamic nations being devastated by terror and civil wars.  Indeed, Europeans must respond to this challenge.  If they should fail, the overt Third World War might start in or from Europe like WWI and WWII.

For example, NATO might finally try to occupy the Middle East to settle the matter once and for all, while Russia, China, and Iran take the opposite stance.


But if the Middle East and the Islamic world should start to fully adopt Christianity-based democracy after WWIII, Russia and China would still remain as potentially threatening factors.
