113. How likely is World War 3? (Ian Bremmer)

In this podcast, host Ian Bremmer, a geopolitical risk analyst, delves into the global political scene following Trump's anticipated 2024 election win. He kicks off with his prediction that internal conflict in the US will emerge as the most significant geopolitical threat, a forecast that has already proven true. From there, the conversation shifts to the roots of today's global instability, such as the disconnected status of Russia and China in the post-Cold War era and the growing distrust in established institutions in developed democracies. Bremmer also highlights the rising influence of tech moguls and discusses the implications of a "G-Zero" world, where global leadership is lacking. He underscores the increasing risks of conflict and emphasizes the urgent need for new frameworks in global governance.
