"Strange realities have emerged in the world. Previously, nuclear weapons were considered a guarantee of peace. It was firmly believed that countries possessing nuclear weapons would not go to war with each other. Or it was assumed that countries without atomic bombs could not resist or wage war against those possessing such bombs. All of this was viewed as an absolute truth." Politician Natig Jafarli said this in an interview with Medianews.az.
He emphasized that new realities are different: "Both India and Pakistan have nuclear weapons. But these two states occasionally fight. Nuclear-weapon-free Ukraine launches missile-drone attacks on the ports, factories, and the entire territory of Russia, which has nuclear weapons, up to the Urals. Although it does not admit it, Israel also possesses nuclear weapons, yet Iran can strike Israel with blows it has never seen before.
So, we live in such a strange, abstract world where taboos are broken, a world of new realities...
There are other oddities as well. For example, the heroic people of Ukraine believe that by resisting Russian occupation, they will eventually become members of both NATO and the European Union. Ukraine is essentially fighting and striving for this too; alongside the restoration of its territorial integrity, it has set as attractive goals these two issues — joining NATO and the European Union. However, NATO is on the verge of collapse, or at least undergoing serious transformation. Meanwhile, the rising wave of right-wing nationalism in European Union countries seriously questions the organization’s attractiveness and complicates the acceptance of new members into the union."
