The peaceful, western-dominated world order - secured by the victors in world War 2 and an incalculable cost - is showing signs of fraying.
Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and Communist China’s global ambitions may have already propelled us into a new era of global strategic conflict - what is at stake is nothing less than the cultural and strategic dominance of Eurasia and the Pacific and possibly the world.
In this Watercooler Conversation, John Anderson and Nick Cater ask if today’s Australians, Brits, Canadians and Americans ready for what lies ahead. Will they find the courage - if it is needed - to stand up in the defence of their country?
Or has the decline in values - and possibly character - turned the West into a force that lacks the will to defend itself?
