The terrifying parallels between today and the outbreak of WW1 | Arne Westad

Is the current world in the same position today as in 1914? Arne Westad, author of "The Coming Storm" and Professor of history and global affairs at Yale, believes it is. As the modern 'great powers' of China, US and Russia face off in a power stalemate and emerging powers in Africa and Asia threaten to further disrupt the global order - the conditions for WW3 or nuclear strikes are set. And as AI begins to cause fear and distrust between nations, can the world survive the most testing period since 1914?
