When Marc Saxer went about writing his latest book, Geopolitical Conflict in the Wolf World, the United States under Donald Trump had just announced "liberation day" tariffs. Before he could submit his final draft, the US and Israel launched an attack on Iran, the consequences of which continue to be felt across the world nearly nine months in. Saxer sits down for Rappler during a quick Manila stop, his last of several cities since mid-2026, to promote his latest book.
