The climatic question he's asking is,
"What are the big physical world areas where we may see even more issues with state capacity?"
I think the one that's been most underreported and affects all this is money management. This is pretty clear in wars, but also domestically. The federal and state government has been defrauded for a large portion of the money it has been spending on unemployment benefits and small business loans.
It has an incentive to underreport these because it's hard to verify, and it makes them look bad, and they are the only ones with the accounting information.
But we're slowly finding out that it's been trivially easy for foreign actors and low-tier criminals to each steal millions or hundreds of thousands from states and federal programs.
