Ian Bremmer : The Next Global Superpower Isn't Who You Think | TED

OK, YouTube still has the edge - TED only lets you speed up to 1.5x 😊 YouTube gets you to 2x. And this one has plenty of padding anyways..


The next global superpower isn't going to be the US or China or the EU - it's going to be the massive tech companies. Think about it he says - if it weren't for Starlink (doesn't name it), Ukraine wouldn't be able to defend itself. President Z wouldn't be around anymore.


America used to be the top exporter of democracy, but now it's the top exporter of tools that can be used to destroy democracy. (Really? What about the CIA collaborating with Pinochet's folks back in the 70's. Has this guy not heard of the Human Resource Exploitation Manual that they gave the Chileans?)
