Course Title: (IST200) A TROUBLED WORLD TODAY

China threatens Taiwan and the Philippines; Russia doubles down in Ukraine while America pulls back; Israel tightens their grip in Gaza while Iran and the U.S. are at loggerheads with Trump's ''no nuke'' ultimatum. Meanwhile, North Korea waits for its opportunity. Now add tensions between two nuclear powers: Pakistan and India. This presentation touches on the ''compounding effect'' of all these threats and asks how we might avoid World War III - particularly when America is more divided than at any time in history.
