Inside a World Glowing Red: Xi’s Purges, Ukraine’s Realities, Iran’s Options & the New Risk Regime - With General David Petraeus
Former CIA Director, David Petraeus, discusses the Xi Jinping's purge of senior Chinese generals, Ukraine’s drone revolution, Iran’s nuclear dilemma and the potential future of spyware in a world of total surveillance.
General David Petraeus, once described by Simon Sebag Montefiore as the ultimate soldier, scholar, and today Chairman of the KKR Global Institute, assesses the heat map of geopolitical and military tensions which is glowing red.
Starting with the Indo-Pacific, he assesses President Xi’s removal of his top generals, what this might mean, and why peace must prevail despite the undercurrent of tensions.
Having returned recently from Ukraine, he then gives some fresh perspectives which challenge stale narratives and describes the immense scale of loss of Russian lives and the technological prowess of Ukraine manufacturing and know-how.
He then weighs Iran’s options; the US’s potential moves and the perspective of other Middle Eastern nations. Finally he offers advice for leaders in an environment where “just in time” has morphed into “just in case”
