Are We Tipping into a New World War?
A “world spinning out of control.” Those were the words Wall Street Journal Global View columnist Walter Russell Mead used to describe the latest geopolitical developments when Bari interviewed him on the latest episode of Honestly this week. And it’s not hard to see why.
In the past 48 hours alone:
- Houthi fighters fired at Israelfrom Yemen.
- An Israeli air strike hit Jabalia refugee campin Gaza, killing a senior Hamas commander as well as Palestinian civilians.
- FBI Director Christopher A. Wray warnedsenators that the Israel-Hamas war has increased the chances of a terrorist attack against Americans in the United States to “a whole other level.”
- Israel vanishedovernight from maps on the Chinese search engine Baidu.
- Egyptian prime minister Mostafa Madbouly saidEgypt was “prepared to sacrifice millions of lives to ensure that no one encroaches upon our territory,” dismissing requests for the settlement of Palestinian refugees in Egypt.
On the podcast, Walter explains why the “pre-war era” we’ve been in for a while is “moving quickly and at an unpredictable pace” toward “something big and something bad.”
Let Walter give you the lay of the land. I can’t promise that it will be reassuring. But it will be clarifying.
