Description:
Europe may appear peaceful on the surface, but behind the scenes, it’s far from it. While many think of the continent as a symbol of stability, several active and brewing conflicts tell a different story:
🇺🇦 Ukraine War: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues, with Moscow justifying its actions by claiming to prevent NATO expansion and “protect” Ukrainians from Western influence.
🇲🇩 Transnistria Conflict: In Moldova, the breakaway region of Transnistria serves as a potential flashpoint, with fears that Russia could destabilize the country without Western support.
🇬🇷 🇹🇷 Greece vs. Turkey: Tensions between these NATO allies simmer over control of islands in the Aegean Sea, creating a dangerous standoff in the region.
🇦🇲 🇦🇿 Nagorno-Karabakh: Armenia and Azerbaijan clash over this contested region, where Azerbaijan has worked to suppress Armenian identity while the ethnic Armenian population remains the majority.
With so many unresolved disputes, can Europe still be called a peaceful continent?

Transcript:
Europe is not as peaceful as it looks like. Everybody knows about the ongoing war in Ukraine where Russia pretend to stop the NATO expansion and to save Ukrainians from the west.
Than we have the conflict in Transnistria which is basically Moldova’s Donbass. This breakaway region will most probably be used by Russia to destabilize Moldova which will be helpless without help from the west.
Moving south, there are two NATO members, Greece and Turkey, that never got along with each other and are both fueling tensions over control of the islands in the Aegean sea.
In the Caucasus region, Armenia and Azerbaijan are fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh region where Azerbaijani authorities worked to suppress Armenian culture and identity in Nagorno-Karabakh, but the Armenians still represent the ethnic majority here. So do you still consider Europe a peaceful continent?
