Global politics is rarely far from my thoughts on a daily basis, and I was cogitating on whether anyone else feels that 2026 is going to see further ramping-up of Superpowers flexing their military and economic interests around the globe ?
.
Whilst past trends do seem to indicate an upswing in such activities, it concerns me that these actions are becoming more overt and emboldened by the main Superpowers themselves.
.
The USA's actions in Venezuela for example send a clear signal to other superpowers that "if you want something, take it", do they not ?
.
I know no one has a crystal ball, but based on past events, would it be fair to project that China is feeling emboldened ? Are they feeling threatened by USA involvement in South America interfering with their future BRICS plans ?
Do China see opportunity in Siberia with a weakened Russia ? Would China use North Korea as a proxy to occupy Siberia ? Would it be a combined effort and to the victor the spoils ? Is a Russo-Sino war on the horizon ?
.
As for Venezuela, that's pretty much anyone's guess. Will the USA's actions speed up BRICS in South America ?
.
Will Argentina feel emboldened to have another crack at the Falklands ?
.
Will the USA feel that Greenland is ripe for some "protection" ?
.
Is Taiwan living on even less borrowed time now ? |
