It may seem like the world is a bit of a mess nowadays. Populism on the rise, the climate crisis, and for a moment there it felt like World War III was just one tweet away.
I'm Thomas Small, and in Season 2 of Conflicted, my co-host Eamon Dean and I will be exploring how these recent events signal the end of the New World Order, America's vision of a globalized world of free markets, the rule of law, and an American military umbrella. And Episode 1 starts things off with a bang, literally.
Iran says it will take revenge for the US killing of its most powerful military commander. General Qasem Soleimani died when his convoy was hit by a US drone at Baghdad airport. Conflicted season 2 begins on the 12th of February and new episodes will be released every other Wednesday. And this time we want you to get involved.
