#03 Strategic Daily: The Old World Order Has Ended. What's Next?

Blinken stated that we are at the end of the old world order. As nations continue the battle for influence, what can we expect to see?

The United States' geopolitical competition with Russia and China has marked the end of the post-Cold War world order, according to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. This is a pivotal moment in history, and the decisions that are made now will shape the future for decades to come.

The post-Cold War order was characterized by the unipolar dominance of the United States. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States emerged as the world's sole superpower. The US-led international order was based on a number of principles, including democracy, free markets, and the rule of law.

However, in recent years, the US-led order has come under increasing strain. China's rapid rise has challenged US economic and military dominance. Russia has also become more assertive, particularly in its near abroad. These two countries have also grown closer in recent years, forming a strategic partnership that is seen as a threat by the United States.

Blinken's speech is a sign that the United States is preparing for a new era of great power competition. He has called on US allies to join in a "common cause" against China and Russia. The United States is also taking steps to strengthen its own military and economy in order to compete with these two countries.

The end of the post-Cold War order is likely to lead to a more multipolar world, with China, Russia, the United States, and other major powers vying for influence. This could lead to a more unstable and unpredictable world order. However, it could also create opportunities for new powers to emerge and for the international system to become more representative of the interests of all countries.
