Debakant Jena
A shouting match with the Ukrainian president on live TV; tariffs hammering allies; talk of annexing Canada; NATO, once a pillar of stability, now caught in a storm of doubt; the U.S. standing with Belarus and North Korea in refusing to condemn Moscow’s aggression in Ukraine.
This isn’t just a retreat — it is uncertainty reshaping alliances in real time, and the world is taking note.
The world isn’t just watching America step back. It is watching Washington reshape its role, leaving allies uncertain and adversaries emboldened.
For decades, global stability rested on the singular assumption that America would lead. That assumption no longer holds.
The question now is whether the world waits for Washington to reclaim its role, or builds something stronger in its absence. Maybe that’s exactly what needs to happen. And if democracies do not step in to fill the vacuum, authoritarian states will — if they haven’t already.
