The "Long Peace"

[Friends just call me Ross]

Excerpt from UN Secretary General's press conference yesterday:

 

Quote

And I must say that I'm hopeful that we'll have a good resolution at the General Assembly, and I'm hopeful that Member States will be able to come together and take profit of these unique moments – 75 years, 75 years in which I think it's important to recognise that many things have happened; many negative things have happened, but at least the Third World War so many people have predicted was avoided. We had what many called the "long peace" with many small conflicts, but conflicts in which the big powers did not get involved against each other.

 

And it is very important that this long peace remains, and it's very important that we now create the conditions to address the smaller but still dramatically deadly conflicts that we are facing in today's world.

Definition of "long peace" = a never-ending string of "short wars".
