The world, today, faces numerous problems. There was that point when Russia threatened to use tactical nuclear weapons in its war against Ukraine, and the world looked the possibility of nuclear war in the face (few liked what they saw). De-escalated that threat might be, but the war’s existential meaning for Europe is too dire for backs to be turned on it. And the Israeli and US misadventure in Iran? Whatever gains the Abraham Accords notched up through improved amity in the Middle East have gone up in mushroom clouds of smoke as Iranian ordnance exploded over countries in the region. The region will fester anew, this time, with the democratisation of improved means of causing human suffering on an extended scale.
