Global political polarization keeps Barack Obama up at night. (via CNBCMakeIt)
Former U.S. President Barack Obama speaks on the stage as he attends an Obama Foundation event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 13 December 2019.The former U.S. president says that neither nuclear weapons nor terrorists make the list.
"If you ask me, probably the biggest trend that I've seen over the last decade is a return to some of the political trends and societal tensions that, you know, help lead to World War I and World War II," said the 58-year-old former politician. What you start seeing is this populist backlash... and strong men who would come in and oftentimes exploit some of those divisions.Cultural disruptions in the Middle East, Asia and U.S. were also a factor, he said. "People who had traditional cultures felt as if those traditional arrangements were under assault."
