We can all agree (I think), that the world is now more dangerous than at any point in the lives of most people born after WW2. It is my view, sadly, that things are going to get far worse.
Most trade is now dependent on long supply chains. If any link in the chain is disrupted or broken the trade collapses.
Likewise energy. Many things depend on energy. As well as food, think about transport, the internet, water, sewers, money, etc.. If one link collapses the whole of society could collapse.
I sincerely hope we don't reach this stage, but we are far more interconnected than we think.
Let's hope we wake up. The model that has served us for many years is creaking.
