James Waddell says that 'brain-rot has been with us for centuries. If they don’t, it is fair to ask what would'. He believes that the 'current climate, health, and food crises should trigger the global collaboration needed to tackle such threats. That 'addressing them effectively requires leadership and action between governments around the world'. He says that 'we need major coordinated investments in pandemic preparedness and response, for example, or to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions (a global public bad), because no individual country’s actions will resolve today’s crises, much less prevent new ones'. They are much more frequent, multidimensional, and interdependent, and – because they transcend national borders – have the potential to affect everyone simultaneously'. Crises are no longer isolated tail-risk events that affect a few. Then, (at 13 mins) are the crises we face today different to those that came before ? Dr Mauricio Cárdenas argues that 'We seemingly live in a permanent state of danger. Where to next for the people of Russia and Ukraine? but it ultimately fuelled claims that imperial ambition came at too high a cost for the Russian people'.

She takes us back to to the times of Lenin and his call 'for unity, creating a federation of republics divided by nationality' to help explain Russian nationalism and how we got to where we are now. In fact, in 1990-91, it was Russian secessionism – together with separatist movements in the republics – that brought down the USSR'. What happened? Joy Neumeyer argues that ' it is worth remembering that, not long ago, Russia turned away from empire. In 1990 Boris Yeltsin gave a speech in Kyiv to announce that Ukraine was free at last.
