September 11, 2001 turned 25 years old, marking a date that profoundly transformed the world, according to a special episode of the podcast "The Art of War". The program addresses the consequences of the attacks, from military conflicts like the "war on terror" to significant political and social changes at a global level.
The special guest is Ambassador Francisco Seixas da Costa, who was in New York on the day of the attacks. The episode is hosted by journalist António Freitas de Sousa.
Seixas da Costa commented that the world's shock with September 11 was "dampened" by other attacks where hundreds of thousands of people died, suggesting that global perception was relativized in the face of previous tragedies of greater scale.
The ambassador also stated that "in 2001 there was an international order", contrasting with the current situation, in which that order no longer exists, underscoring the profound changes in the world geopolitical scenario over the past two and a half decades.
