Global conditions are far too complex to be able to imagine that they could ever be really controlled by one power.

I would prefer to abandon the terminology of the past. 'Superpower' is something which we used during the cold war time. Why use it now?

With more women in power, the world would be better off.

The unthinkable occurred: two communist countries went to war with each other.

In 'The World Set Free,' the world's major superpowers attack each other simultaneously.

In the category of economic superpowers, more is better than less - the more technology those leaders develop, the more we all benefit.

A world without nuclear weapons would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us.

With hindsight, we see that the Soviet Union never had a chance of world domination, but we didn't know that then.

If I could have one superpower, I'd want to have the power of mind over matter. I'd want to be able to move things and people with my mind.

Without perestroika, the cold war simply would not have ended. But the world could not continue developing as it had, with the stark menace of nuclear war ever present.
