September 11 attacks legacy discussed 25 years later
As the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks approaches, discussions have emerged regarding the long-term geopolitical and social consequences of the event. The collapse of the Twin Towers is viewed as the catalyst for a new era of warfare and significant shifts in global power structures.
In a dialogue between Ulrich Schlie and Daniel Benjamin, the discussion touched upon the vacuum left by the attacks, which allowed for the rise of various conspiracy theories, including the 'Inside Job' narrative. Benjamin, a former Director for Counterterrorism on the National Security Council staff, noted that he had previously warned of catastrophic attacks in the New York Times. The conversation also highlighted how decisions made in the immediate aftermath of the attacks contributed to the conquest of seven states over a five-year period.
