Interview with Philip Zelikow: Is humanity on the edge of World War III?

I have raised in my blog several times the question of how close we are to World War III.

Now, the world is like a tinderbox! One mistake ...

World War I started latest in 1914, WW II latest in 1939 (but as early as the Spanish Civil War 1936), and World War III started when???

Eternal peace is an enduring human aspiration, but it has been promised several times in history. These promises were all broken! Will humanity ever achieve it?

Humanity now has more devastating weapons of mass destruction (a.k.a. ABC weapons) than ever before! We still have megalomaniacs and war criminals like Putin the Terrible attacking other countries and so on.

 

Caveat: I did not watch the interview.

"Wars are raging in the Mideast, Europe and Africa. Tensions are rising in Asia, and anti-U.S. power alignment is tightening among authoritarian China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. National Security Editor Guy Taylor sits down with historian and former diplomat Philip Zelikow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University for a discussion on whether humanity is edging dangerously close to world war and what U.S. policy makers can learn about the current dynamics by examining those that resulted in global conflict during the last century."
