Dr. Ewen argues that the advent of the internet and social media has radically transformed the flow of information, making it more democratic and accessible to people across different continents. This democratization of information has, in turn, empowered individuals and non-state actors, enabling them to play a more significant role in the international arena. The book illustrates how these changes are challenging the conventional notions of sovereignty and control that nations have traditionally held, forcing a reevaluation of how power is understood and wielded on the global stage.

Story
The first rule of nuclear war is that there are no rules. Up to now, no one outside of official circles has known exactly what would happen if a rogue state launched a nuclear missile at the Pentagon.

Because the plans for General Nuclear War are among the most classified secrets held by the United States government, this book takes the listener up to the razor’s edge of what can legally be known.

He stole this from the Chinese, and the chemistry is basically responsible for all modern artillery used in war. Sadly, this is true of the man who wanted to be remembered more as a chemist than a killer; in his defense, he never killed anyone directly in his lifetime that we know of, but he is, however, responsible for a lot of deaths. The Rohingya...
