In our world, everything is now linked. A bit like a chessboard where each piece, instead of being independent, is linked to dozens of others by invisible threads.
Moving a pawn in Ukraine would shake markets in Asia, disrupt supply chains in Europe, and trigger cyberattacks in America. Security can no longer be thought of in silos. The war of systems forces us to rethink our relationship to risk, interdependence and innovation. Conflicts no longer occur within clear borders, but in complex networks where everything is interconnected: energy, the economy, technology and even the climate. So the war in Ukraine is not just a military conflict. It is also an energy war, an economic war, an informational war and an ecological war with the impact of bombs on the soil and the nuclear risk. Are we condemned to a spread of crises, or even a polycrisis? Are we prepared or, on the contrary, totally overwhelmed by having delayed too long in accepting to see our fragilities?
