"Commentators and TV personalities are joining the bellicose chorus. It all looks as if the world is preparing for war," he said.
According to Gorbachev, the problem demands an urgent solution, as "NATO and Russian forces and weapons that used to be deployed at a distance are now placed closer to each other, as if to shoot point-blank."
"There is a view that the dialogue should focus on fighting terrorism. This is indeed an important, urgent task. But, as a core of a normal relationship and eventually partnership, it is not enough," Gorbachev argued.
"The focus should once again be on preventing war, phasing out the arms race, and reducing weapons arsenals. The goal should be to agree, not just on nuclear weapons levels and ceilings, but also on missile defense and strategic stability," he wrote.
He urged members of the UN Security Council "to take the first step - specifically, I propose that a Security Council meeting at the level of heads of state adopt a resolution stating that nuclear war is unacceptable and must never be fought."
"I think the initiative to adopt such a resolution should come from Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin — the presidents of two nations that hold over 90 percent of the world’s nuclear arsenals and therefore bear a special responsibility," Gorbachev concluded.
The berlin wall should never have been destroyed. In fact, Germany should have split into 2 countries and the east side gone slavic because that's what the population is even if they speak german

@Azir Serbs started WW1? Austria started it! Germany started it! Serbia was just a poor pretnece! Even we started WW1, we have a strong reason, which was a liberation from occupator. Thats the highest reason. But, historical facts show that the WW1 was a will of Germany and Austria. Stop writing silly facts!!!

When it all comes down to the " Root Cause ", it is Slavic Christian Eastern Orthodoxy against Satan !!!
Yes, you all the world media can say this or that but the bottom line is God of the universe is a benevolent Divinity and we the pure and rightious mortals have the right and the will from a profound depth within our loving hearts to preserve our ancient and sacred traditions, heritage and faith for our Lord Crucified and for ever Holy in the Kingdom of Heaven !!!

In 1989 on Malta Gorby sold his soul and his coutry and his party and his people to the Devil whose then name was George Bush. This man celebrates his birthdays in London and he never dares to walk outside in Russia. Because there's no Russian city where he can walk 200 meters not being killed. His words cost nothing in Russia.

The US is using the Centraleuropean Countries as USEFULL IDIOTS,
arguing that thay will be protected by Nato and the US.
In reality it is the US who Want those Centraleuropean Countrys to Sacrifice themselves for the Protecting of the US.
The deployment of US military in those Centraleuropean Countrys,
is only Cosmetica and cannonfodder.
this deployment canot Win a War or protect those countries.
