C'è stato un tempo nel quale i discorsi dei grandi leader cambiavano il corso della storia e spesso anche la vita quotidiana dei cittadini. Oggi prevalgono post, tweet, battute in tv di 30-45 secondi, che esprimono più o meno efficacemente emozioni e posizionamenti spesso effimeri. Nel passato, ma ancora oggi, i discorsi spingono invece ad argomentare, a spiegare, a far capire perché si sia arrivati ad una certa posizione e dove si voglia arrivare.

In Israel and the West, it is called the Six Day War. In the Arab world, it is known as the June War or, simply, as "the Setback". Never has a conflict so short, unforeseen, and largely unwanted by both sides so transformed the world. The Yom Kippur War, the war in Lebanon, the Camp David accords, the controversy over Jerusalem and Jewish settlements in the West Bank, the intifada, and the rise of Palestinian terror are all part of the outcome of those six days.

Irgendwann 2027. Ein chinesischer Kampfjet stürzt nach einem riskanten Manöver in taiwanischem Luftraum ab. Pekings Machthaber befehlen daraufhin den Angriff auf den Inselstaat.

Die globalen geopolitischen und ökonomischen Folgen sind verheerend: Die USA und China ringen um die Weltherrschaft, es droht ein dritter Weltkrieg, die Wirtschaft in Europa schmiert ab.
