In this prophetic interview from May 2008, veteran Singaporean diplomat Kishore Mahbubani delivers a stunningly frank critique of the Western world's arrogance, hypocrisy, and incompetence. 17 years later, his warnings are not only still relevant—they resonate even more powerfully today.
In this unearthed conversation, you will hear him pointedly argue how the West has devolved from being "the solution" to "the problem itself." He relentlessly exposes how the West clings to privilege in the very global institutions it created (like the UN Security Council), thereby betraying the democratic principles it preaches. He denounces the United States for practicing torture after 9/11, causing it to lose "all moral authority," and labels the West's performance on a range of issues, from global warming to trade talks, as "pure incompetence."
This is a look back to uncover the roots of our world's current crises. With the alarm bells of 17 years ago ignored, are we now suffering the inevitable consequences?
