I believe that we are already at the early stages if not in World War II. It just doesn't look like the wars of the
00:00:05
past. And people should understand what is at stake, which is we are one misunderstanding, one miscalculation
00:00:12
away, or even one AI generated viral video from nuclear annihilation. Is there anything at all you're doing to
00:00:19
prepare? I'm leaving the United States by 2026. But is there anywhere on this map that
00:00:23
is safe in a war? So my understanding is that there's actually three safe zones.
00:00:27
You are right. There's Hawaii. No, because there are so many targets in Hawaii and same with all of Europe, but there's
00:00:35
one tiny little place right there. So, where do we find ourselves in terms of conflict and warfare? Now,
00:00:40
it's getting worse. And in the past, it was whoever had the strongest military. Now, you can destabilize a government or
00:00:45
a society using a server farm and 20 people sitting in a room thousands of miles away. And another real problem we
00:00:52
have right now is that the different political parties inside the United States are so intent on taking down the
00:00:58
other side. They do it at the national security peril. So now Russia or China can play people
00:01:04
off against one another and cause division. Angie, what do you think happens next?
00:01:07
Well, I think World War II is going to be shaped by what we call proxy war, where a wealthy nation state funds,
00:01:13
trains, and arms conflict in a less wealthy state to decrease the capability of your primary target. They're using
00:01:20
that nation to do the work for them. Exactly. Right. That's already happening. And what's the probability of nuclear
00:01:25
war? So, here's a terrifying detail that the public does not know. So,
