Join our global community of minds and share with people in different countries and from all backgrounds thorough our weekly online debates. Imagine debating with people in 10 different countries at the same time... How awesome is that?

This is a safe, inclusive and respectful space designed to talk to other humans, learn from one another and implement our ideas, in all relevant aspects of life.

We will discuss both “big” and “small” ideas, talking about the past, present, and future, the ideal world and our everyday reality.

Each Meetup will have a main focus subject, with a wide margin to explore other interesting topics.

Our main rule:

“I do not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

Some subjects we’ll explore:

Human wellbeing and psychology

Relationships and family

Society, economics and politics

Lifestyles, cultures and languages

Technology and futurism

Philosophy, religions and ideologies

The “why” and “what for” of life

And many more, that we’ll decide on together…

Welcome to the global community of Ideas Exchange!

In a world where the guardrails of global stability seem to be crumbling, the risks of systemic conflict are more palpable than ever. From Ukraine’s grinding war to Iran’s escalating regional provocations, the foundations of the post-Cold War order are being shaken.
"World War III?: Ukraine, Iran, and the Breakdown of Global Order" invites you to take part in a global virtual discussion on whether we are witnessing the early tremors of a broader war—or the messy reordering of international power.
As Russia entrenches its presence in eastern Ukraine and NATO’s resolve begins to splinter under internal tensions and political fatigue, many ask: How long can the West hold its line? Meanwhile, Iran’s recent actions—its nuclear brinkmanship, the widening proxy network from Lebanon to Yemen, and its shadow war with Israel—raise the specter of direct regional confrontation, with global consequences.
The United States, caught between election-year politics and strategic overextension, appears less willing to act as the world’s enforcer. China, opportunistically quiet, positions itself as a potential alternative hegemon, while the Global South grows increasingly impatient with a fractured West.
Amid this turbulence, we must ask: Is a third world war truly unthinkable, or are we inching toward it without realizing?
Key Topics
· The New Axis of Challenge: Russia, Iran, and Beyond
How do the actions of authoritarian powers challenge Western dominance? Are we seeing the formation of a new anti-Western bloc?
· Fracturing Western Unity over Ukraine
How sustainable is NATO support for Ukraine as war fatigue grows? What are the implications if Western commitment erodes?
· Iran’s Gambit: Regional Proxy Wars and Global Repercussions
What are the stakes of Iran’s growing assertiveness across the Middle East? Could a regional war drag in global powers?
· Is the U.S. Still the World’s Policeman?
As America hesitates on the world stage, is it ceding space to rivals—or simply adapting to a multipolar reality?
· Toward a New Global Order—or Global Chaos?
Are today’s crises symptoms of a world rebalancing—or signs of an irreversible breakdown in order?
Whether you're a policy wonk, a global affairs enthusiast, or just someone trying to make sense of the headlines, this debate is your chance to join a truly international, grassroots conversation.
