I’ve never given a lecture before, so let me apologise in advance. I’ll be talking about things which some of you will know more about than me, I’ll touch on struggles that are not my own, and I’ll definitely get some of this wrong.

American, European and Russian corporations are the only ones winning from humanitarian disasters of their own making.
