Economist Nouriel Roubini said there is a cold war between the West and “revisionist” powers including Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and Pakistan. He said these powers are “challenging the economic, social, and geopolitical order that the U.S., and Europe, and the West created after World War II.”
Roubini told Yahoo! Finance that the next 10 years could bring a confrontation between the U.S. and China on the issue of Taiwan, causing the current cold war to become “hot.” He added, “That’s how we get to World War III.”
