Since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, many have believed that superpower conflict was over and that democracy had won. But that belief has been upended with the rise of China, the Russia Ukraine war and increasing ties between China, Russia, Iran and North Korea.

Since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, many have believed that superpower conflict was over and that democracy had won. But that belief has been upended with the rise of China, the Russia Ukraine war and increasing ties between China, Russia, Iran and North Korea.

China, after decades of rapid growth, has become the second largest economy in the world after the United States, with an economy about the size of the entire European Union. And China, Iran, and North Korea have each been supporting Russia in its war in Ukraine. China is supplying vital components for Russia's war effort. Iran is producing drones and ballistic missiles.

How important is this growing cooperation between these four countries and what are its implications? Hi, everyone. I'm Lynne Thoman, and this is Three Takeaways.

On Three Takeaways, I talk with some of the world's best thinkers, business leaders, writers, politicians, newsmakers and scientists. Each episode ends with three key takeaways to help us understand the world and maybe even ourselves a little better. Today, I'm excited to be with Wendy Sherman. She's an American diplomat who served as the United States Deputy Secretary of State from 2021 to 2023.

She's an American diplomat who served as the United States Deputy Secretary of State from 2021 to 2023.

Before that, she served as Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs. In that role, she was the lead negotiator for the Iran nuclear deal. She led the US team during multiple negotiating rounds between Iran and other world powers. Before that, she was the North Korea coordinator. Ambassador Sherman has worked for three presidents and five secretaries of state.

I'm looking forward to finding out how she sees the world today, including the growing cooperation among China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, as well as other issues such as the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the world order and the growing competition in space. Welcome, Wendy, and thanks so much for joining Three Takeaways today. Good to be with you, Lynn.
