“In politics lying has become an art rather than a sin.” Peter van Onselen, Journalist and Professor of Politics, University of Western Australia"... it is exceedingly dangerous to assume that a new world war is inevitable. That would be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Once countries assume that war is inevitable, they beef up their armies, embark on spiralling arms races, refuse to compromise in any conflict and suspect that goodwill gestures are just traps. This guarantees the eruption of war. On the other hand, it would be naïve to assume that war is impossible. Even if war is catastrophic for everyone, no god and no law of nature protects us from human stupidity. Yuval Noah Harari - 21 Lessons for the 21st Century
