With Trump at the helm, global politics is undergoing a seismic shift, where conflicts, hyper-nationalism, and a disregard for international norms increasingly overshadow the idea of diplomacy. As threats, wars and regional disputes dominate headlines, power struggles, rather than cooperative engagements, are shaping the global order. Trump’s return to the White House only amplifies uncertainty, making the coming years in international politics highly unpredictable. His recent rhetoric – marked by incendiary nationalism and unilateral assertions of power – signals an era of escalating tensions and declining diplomatic efforts. https://thewire.in/world/the-trump-storm-and-rising-anarchy-of-global-politics
If we examine Trump’s recent pronouncements closely, we find a leader who thrives in chaos, a disruptor who challenges the existing orders. His concept of “national interest” – driven by a transactional and coercive approach – disregards conventional diplomatic norms.
His worldview aligns with the idea that the international system is anarchic, where international laws exist but lack enforceability, allowing powerful states to act with impunity.
