- The liberal world order is under attack, and the new world order will be determined by a triangle of power oscillating between the global west, the global east and the global south.
- The global west needs to conduct a more dignified foreign policy by listening and engaging rather than preaching and moralising.
- The world is facing a choice between ending the war and finding a new system of cooperation or escalating big power competition to global conflict.
- Multiple regional orders and overlapping alliances are likely to be created, with no single power dominating.
- The world must avoid the mistakes of 1919, learn from the balance of power established in 1945 and make the liberal order of 1989 universally appealing.

It needs to learn to listen and engage rather than preach and moralise
