2023 has been a significant year for those who want to keep their heads out of the hole. As the war in Ukraine approaches its second year, the rivalry between the United States and China is a growing source of tension, particularly over Taiwan and the South China Sea.
There is an ongoing conflict in the Middle East involving Syria, Lebanon and Yemen. The Iranian regime, which financed and supported the bloodshed of October 7 (together with some Gulf nations...), welcomes each day more as a divine gift... but the reckoning - starting from that with its own people - will come inexorably.
At the same time, a NATO country like Turkey continues to influence the regional dynamics with positions incompatible with the future Western alignment.
Internal conflicts and violence continue from Ethiopia to Nigeria to the Sahel.
North Korea's missile and nuclear activities continue to cause tensions in the Asian region, especially with South Korea, Japan and the United States.
The challenges related to cyber security and competition in space are belatedly gaining more and more attention.
2023 was the first full year of World War III. Is what happens and will happen clear or will the ostrich strategy still dictate the law here for a long time?
We will discuss it together with numerous guests tonight at 21.00 in the last "WW3" episode of the year.
See you there!
