The Ukraine war remains the most important geopolitical conflict in the world, says bestselling author and historian Yuval Noah Harari.

In a wide-ranging conversation with Ian Bremmer filmed live at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, Harari says that if Russia wins in Ukraine, the global order as we’ve known it for decades is over. "The most fundamental rule was that you cannot just invade and conquer another country just because you're stronger. This is exactly what Putin is trying to do in Ukraine."

The conversation also touches on the potential ripple effects of Russia's actions, suggesting that a successful annexation could embolden other nations to follow suit, destabilizing global peace. Harari even entertains the notion that we might be in the early stages of a third World War, unrecognized in the current moment, much like the early years of World War II were not immediately identified as such. "If he gets away with it, we'll see more and more Putins all over the world” Harari says. "There is a scenario that we are already living in the midst of the third World War and we just don't know it."

  • Really, no one’s invaded another country in the past several years? Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya?
  • What global order? What we are afraid of is loosing western hegenomy.
  • @yanlee3037
    Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Vietnam... the list goes on and on. Which demonstrates the rules-based "order" you talk about, where no country can invade another by force, is a lie.
  • @lannisterlodbrok
    "The rule: you cannot invade a country just because you are stronger. This was the case, for centuries, for thousands of years." Really, dude? Really? What the hell are you talking about? Really, what the hell are you talking about?
  • Mr Yuval is strongly condemning a country that “invaded” another but belongs to a country that formed itself in the land of other people. Unfortunately he’s not so much critical condemning the genocide of that other people…
  • @morningsidedrive
    His analysis of a Russian invasion and victory in view of the Israeli conquest and occupation of Arab countries is profoundly ironic.
  • @cgsather3309
    I clicked on this because I heard Harari was intelligent, a genius even. But his rant was at the level of your local Subaru Outback driver.
  • He is very comfortable living in Israel, yet he talks about one nation using force to change its border
  • @mindfulness916
    Yuval harari for all his brilliance, cherry-picks his information, speaks half-truths, and concocts narratives that align with the West. I don't think it is a coincidence but rather a pattern he deliberately embarks on.
  • @plamenspasov4943
    What he failed to mention is that his own country, Israel, is illegally occupying Palestine for 75 years. Hypocrisy.
  • Yuval Noah Harari is a genuine Gobshite. Ask the next person you happen upon on the street, they will exhibit more knowledge or and insights.
  • @icidisa2519
    This guy always speaks as if he is saying something new. All he says is air, hot air written by his lord's.
  • @JaimeNoro
    For such an accomplished historian, Harari's logic is so deeply rooted in generalizations and such a lack of attention to details and sense of process when talking about today's geopolitics...
  • @gorchilo
    Western hegemony is finished, get over it.
