The era of Mutual Assured Disruption

The five forces that are 'liquidising' global security.

1. Distinctions between foreign and domestic policy are no longer valid
2. There is no longer a clear divide between war and peace.
3. What brought the world together is tearing it apart. Connectivity ... is now being weaponised.
4. The time of firm security alliances is over.
5. The world is no longer mainly defined by great power balances.
