The two places you mentioned were Korea and Taiwan, and I understand why.
But it's just as likely under the scenario you're painting that it might be in Africa or it might be in Latin America.
We don't necessarily foresee.
And then we see the sort of violence that's going on, say, in something like Sudan or some of the other conflicts in Africa.
What are we missing that the world is not doing what you think it should be to try to bring those conflicts to an end?
What did you make of the Trump Xi summit that you mentioned?
and the need to avoid it.
And that seemed to me him saying to Trump, you are losing power and we are gaining power.
Basically, live with it rather than let it lead to war.
Am I reading that right?
Was that what he meant by that?
And was it deliberate?
Yeah.
Amongst the commentary about your book and about your sort of analysis more generally, is that because you're so focused on systems and how they come through history, that maybe you underestimate sometimes
the importance of the individual.
Are we not with Donald Trump dealing with a phenomenon that we really have never seen before, certainly in our lifetime?
You mentioned Ukraine there.
Is it possible that Ukraine is one of the danger spots that leads to a great war between the great powers?
And how likely is that, given that we've already had four years, as it were, of
since the all-out invasion?
