Is the Ukraine War the start of World War Three? Has World War 3 already begun. French historian and anthropologist Emmanuel Todd made headlines by saying World War Three has already begun. What did he mean and was he right?
How do we make sense of the war in Ukraine in a big-picture historical perspective? There have been many news stories, many podcasts and many channels looking at the unfolding events in Ukraine from day to day. In this series, however, Jeff Rich steps back from the daily news cycle, and sets out common historical narratives about the war in Ukraine.
By seeing the truth and errors in all these narratives we are more likely to find our way back to the path of diplomacy and dialogue, and to live at peace with all the cultures that enrich this world.
