The world is on edge as Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic warns of a possible war between NATO and Russia. He says Europe is quickly building up its military power, calling it "defense, " while Russia is getting ready for war. Countries like Finland, Poland, and Romania are spending a lot more on their military, ignoring Russia's attempts to talk things out. This is making the situation very tense, like it was during the Cold War. Serbia is in a tough spot. It wants to join the EU but also has strong ties with Russia. The country relies on Russia for energy and has a long history with them. But now, Serbia is thinking about selling weapons to EU countries, which shows how serious the situation is. Experts say Europe's military buildup is similar to what happened during the Cold War. NATO countries say they need to protect themselves from Russia, but Russia says this is just an excuse for aggression. The EU is also increasing its defense, with Finland joining NATO and Poland spending a lot on its military. Russia has warned that it might use tactical nuclear weapons if things get worse. At the same time, there are cyberattacks, economic sabotage, and disinformation campaigns making things even more complicated. Diplomatic talks between Russia and the West have broken down, with both sides blaming each other. Vucic's warning comes from a unique position. Serbia is not fully with NATO but also not against Russia. He says everyone is preparing for war. The question is, will cooler heads prevail, or will the world see another catastrophic conflict?
