The Changing World Order


🌐 Why the Global Order Feels Like It’s Changing

The world is going through a structural shift — economically, politically, and psychologically. This shift accelerated during and after the leadership style of Donald Trump, but it didn’t start or end with him alone.

🇺🇸 Trump’s “America First” & Global Friction

Trump’s approach emphasized:

1) Trade wars over free trade
2) Sanctions as a primary weapon
3) Withdrawal from global agreements
4) Transactional diplomacy (“What do we gain immediately?”)

To many nations, this looked like:

Power over partnership

This created resentment, not only among rivals but also traditional allies.

🌍 The Rise of a Multipolar World

What we are witnessing now is not anti-USA sentiment alone, but anti-dominance sentiment.

Key trends:

China & Russia pushing alternative power centers

BRICS expanding to reduce dollar 
dependency

Middle powers choosing strategic neutrality

Global South demanding respect, not instructions

The world no longer wants:

❌ One referee
✅ Multiple negotiators

💰 Greed vs Fear vs Survival (Harsh Reality)

Many people label it “greed”, but geopolitically it’s a mix of:

Economic insecurity

Fear of losing dominance

Domestic political pressure

Corporate–military influence

When a superpower feels threatened, it often:

Tightens control

Uses pressure tactics

Frames conflicts as moral battles

This pushes others together, even if they don’t fully trust each other.

⚠️ Is the World Really “Against the USA”?

Not exactly.
More accurate framing:

❌ World vs USA
✅ World vs Unilateral Control

Even US allies now want:

• Autonomy
• Local manufacturing
• Currency independence
• Balanced diplomacy

🔮 What This Means Going Forward

• Global instability will increase before it stabilizes
• Economic blocs will matter more than ideology
• Soft power (trust, culture, fairness) will beat hard power
• The next decade decides who adapts vs who dominates

A humble closing thought 🙏

Empires don’t usually fall because others defeat them
they weaken when they stop listening.
