Richard Haass: « 30 Years After End Of The Cold War, This Is Not The World We Hoped For »

MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin interviews Council on Foreign Relations President Richard Haass for a general discussion about « the state of the world. »

« Ukraine is both a reflection of it and a driver of it, but you have a couple of things going on here at the moment that make this a remarkable moment in history, » Haass said. « The revival of the familiar stuff of history, geopolitical competition, obviously with Russia now i Europe, China in Asia, increasingly called the Indo-Pacific. A lot going on. »

« Three decades after the end of the Cold War, suddenly this is not the world that lots of people were expecting or hoping for, » Haass said. « And the whole other set of challenges from climate change to Covid and the rest, these global issues. »

« The gap is pretty large. Geopolitical competition plus the growing gap between global challenges and the collective responses, it adds up to a not good answer. It’s a big foreign policy challenge for the United States and the rest of the world. »
