"We're in a Hot War in Cold Places: Space and the High North; We're in a Cold War in Hot Places: Africa and The Pacific.... and now we're in a Hot War in a Hot Place: The Middle East." Dr. Pippa Malmgren discusses how we can win the peace.

Today's topic starts with an article Pippa published in 2021 entitled, "WWIII Has Already Started". Her focus was on politically deniable gray zone warfare in space, cyberspace, and beneath the oceans - low-intensity conflicts that have rapidly escalated into all out warfare.

Is this 1939 all over again? Back then, we were fighting against the Axis Powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan. Today's adversaries are China, Russia & Iran. Three separate powers, each with their own goals and ambitions - but working together in conflicts with Western powers.

Pippa will describe the complex web of geopolitical relationships & growing conflicts that she has called WWIII, as well as discuss key similarities and differences from WWII in the 20th century. Not only will we explore the key challenges to Western democracy, but also ways we can defuse today's tense situation & help build a future of peace & prosperity for all nations.

Dr. Pippa Malmgren is an economist, author, and public speaker helping the public understand the complex and dynamic world economy.

Dr. Malmgren has advised the President of the United States, the British Cabinet, and several Asian nations on economic policy. She has also briefed NATO Generals, lectured at Sandhurst and Duke, and founded a number of tech ventures in various sectors. She is a Senior Advisor to The Monaco Foundry, a Board Member at Premios Verdes, and has written four books, including The Leadership Lab and The Infinite Leader, which won multiple awards.

Dr. Malmgren has a BA in Political Philosophy and International Relations, studies as a Military History visiting scholar at Yale University, Executive Education in National Security Policy Studies from the Harvard Kennedy School, and a PhD in International Relations & Political Economy from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
