  • 'The closest to war since WW II': Is Europe on the brink of chaos?

    'The closest to war since WW II': Is Europe on the brink of chaos?
    Sep 12 2025

With tensions rising on multiple fronts, the real question is: can a divided Europe stand united in the face of growing threats — or are internal cracks starting to show at the worst possible time?
