Why Didn't the West Integrate Russia_
In this Q&A, I tackle some of the biggest questions shaping global politics today. We start by asking whether we are truly heading for a “clash of civilizations” or if that famous idea oversimplifies the world’s complex realities. From there, we explore why the West failed to integrate Russia after the Cold War, and what that means for today’s strained relations. I then turn to the future of world order, considering whether we could see another unipolar international system dominated by a single superpower, or if multipolarity is here to stay. Another pressing issue is nuclear proliferation: what happens if more countries develop nuclear weapons, and how could that affect global security?
We also examine one of today’s most urgent flashpoints: what, if anything, the West could realistically do to stop a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Finally, I take on a fascinating question about statehood itself—what’s the smallest population a country can have and still function as an independent state? This video covers a wide range of themes—power, security, statehood, and the future of international relations.
Timestamps are included so you can jump straight to the questions that interest you most.
