We last had you at the summit in Los Angeles, so it's great to have a conversation.

A lot's happened since we last got together.

For the audience, Graham Allison's the founding dean of the Harvard Kennedy School.

He's advised every secretary of defense since Kissinger.

He's helped dismantle 12,000 Soviet nuclear weapons.

And his book, Destined for War, remains the definitive framework for understanding the U.S.-China relationship.

I think it's worth kind of bringing forward some of the things that have happened in the world since we last met.

Well,

If you were building a global financial system from first principles today, you wouldn't build it on 50-year-old legacy rails.

You'd build Airwallex.

It's the single platform for global accounts, cards, and payments that treats the entire world like a local market.

Stop paying the legacy tax and start building the future at airwallex.com slash all in.

Airwallex, build the future.

Let's start with Iran.

The U.S.

and Israel are in the middle of an attack on Iran, and the supreme leader is dead, but the regime is still holding on to power.

Where do you think this conflict will take us, and are we sleepwalking into World War III?

Let me double click on that point.

You mentioned there's multiple reasons that the administration has messaged for doing this multiple views on what success looks like multiple timelines on ending it, and that this is BB's war.

How do you think Trump was motivated to do this?
