In this series we’ve looked at under-reported threats to global
stability, from the psychology of Xi Jinping to the coming water
crisis to the War on Truth. But what happens next? In this extended
end-of-season edition, Arthur Snell steps back to look at the big
picture with experts in geopolitics, future warfare and the
Chinese, Russian and American superpowers. Can the world pull
itself from the brink – or is our Long Peace coming to an
end? Season Two of Doomsday Watch is coming soon. Help us

•  “What we’ve seen is the loss of the structures that
have contained violence.” – Dr Mike Martin •  “Americans
are tired – tired of not only of being at war, but also as being
perceived as being warmongers.” – Candace Rondeaux
•  “People will fight for a cause. That cause can be
nationalism, to serve a particular master or to promote a different
vision of society.” – Margaret MacMillan •  “You saw it
with defeat in Afghanistan: the West does not have confidence in
its own values, nor the staying power to implement them anywhere
else.” – Ian Dunt •  “We are in a very dangerous
situation, where we face the potential of weapons systems outside
of human control that perhaps can’t be stopped.” – Margaret
MacMillan •  “I worry now that we’re entering a stage
where we might have a big war. I think there’s a 50-50 chance.” –
Dr Mike Martin •  “All around me I see people wanting to
take on populism, who want a better kind of world that makes
sense.” – Ian Dunt DOOMSDAY WATCH was written and presented by
