Here, @scottjshapiro.bsky.social and I consider the collapse of the prohibition on the use of force and the likely consequences: a global arms race, wars of conquest, shrinking trade, and the end of global cooperation. We chart another potential path, but it would require courage and quick action.

Glad to talk with Linda Kinstler for this @theguardian.com long read.

The situation may not be quite as dire as the title suggests, but the challenges are very very real. It's time for creative thinking about what comes next.
