That's according to Robert Pape, one of the world’s foremost experts on political violence, terrorism, and national security and director of the Chicago Project on Security and Threats.Roland speaks to Pape about what next after Kirk's murder, the deeper forces driving America’s unrest and what lessons other countries in the West should take from it.  Plus, Venetia speaks to The Telegraph's Samaan Lateef about the historic protests in Nepal and how Gen Z demonstrators overturned a government by using new online technology such as Discord and Chat GPT. <a href="https://linktr.ee/BattleLines" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/BattleLines</a> Contact us with feedback or ideas:<a href="mailto:battlelines@telegraph.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">battlelines@telegraph.co.uk</a>@venetiarainey@RolandOliphant<hr> Hosted on Acast.
