In a recent speech, CIA Director William Burns said the world is going through a "plastic moment" unseen since the end of the Cold War.

A "plastic moment" is when the entire cross-section has reached its yield stress.

This moment is the maximum bending moment that the section can resist. When reached, a plastic hinge forms, and any load beyond this point will result in infinite plastic deformation.

Today, the world is far more crowded, complicated, contested, and connected.

Today, the world sees the United States as no longer the only big nation running geopolitics.

Today, the world is going through a "plastic moment."
