The Guardian: Nato chief: world is at its most dangerous point in a generation

Exclusive: Jens Stoltenberg warns of converging threats as Russia mobilises estimated 100,000 troops on EU’s borders

The world is more dangerous today than it has been in a generation, the head of Nato has said, days before the mobilisation of an estimated 100,000 Russian troops on the EU’s eastern borders, and as a nuclear crisis grows on the Korean peninsula.

Jens Stoltenberg, secretary general of the military alliance, said the sheer number of converging threats was making the world increasingly perilous.

Asked in a Guardian interview whether he had known a more dangerous time in his 30-year career, Stoltenberg said: “It is more unpredictable, and it’s more difficult because we have so many challenges at the same time.

 WNU Editor: I started to feel this way (i.e. the world being at its most dangerous point about) 2 - 3 years ago. The reason why .... the war in Ukraine, the Middle East engulfed in chaos and war, the chaos in northern Africa (i.e. Libya), and China starting its push in the South China Sea.

It certainly feels like it, doesn't it...

Must say though I truly felt a change when, after googling war news (its how I always connect to your site, quick google search and your blog is normally the first or second result on page 1) over the past few days, your blog has been relegated to the second, and during the height of the North Korean crisis, third and fought page on google.

Shocking! Right now its on the first page, for me anyhow. I'm sure google re-arranges results based on region and so on, but ever since I started reading your blog, that was the first time I've ever seen it get pushed back so many pages.

A sign of things to come! :P

I just googled war news and I was 11th !!!!!!!
Mind you the ones who are in front are news stories from major news sites that will disappear in the next few days, but yes .... this is a first.

This is an interesting observation .... it tells me that wars and conflicts are being googled more, and the news agencies are responding.
