This is very abnormal.

This didn't happen by accident.

This was what the people who founded the international order after World War II were trying to build, a new world order.

Because they had just lived through a terrible World War II.

Simply one generation before, they remembered, hey, there was World War I. So if we just keep doing this, we should expect World War III.

It should have already happened.

If it could have happened at the Cuban Missile Crisis.

So no great power war.

Fantastic.

But a fragile, a work in progress all the time, eroding.

Inevitably, for many, many different reasons.

Second 80.

How many years?

Since we've had a nuclear bomb go off.

Fantastic.

So think about that.

If you had gone, if there had been prediction markets and you had gone in 1945 or 50, you would have got 10,000 to one odds against that.

It's impossible.

The weapon that ended World War II and you're not ever going to see any use of those weapons in war?

Whoa.
