The most turbulent times since the Cold War?

We are living in troubling, turbulent times. Social unrest in the UK, the prolonged conflict in Ukraine, serious concerns over Chinese interference in the Far East and escalating violence associated with the war in Gaza are all reminders that we live in a volatile and dangerous world.

We shouldn’t forget the upcoming election in the United States either. I’ve read dire predictions of what could happen if Mr Trump is elected, and I’ve read equally grim warnings of what might ensue if he isn’t!

Is it any wonder then that the heads of the UK and US foreign intelligence services warned recently that the international world order is 'under threat in a way we haven’t seen since the Cold War.'
