Global geopolitics is shifting due to reassessed alliances

Global geopolitics is shifting as countries reassess alliances and military strategies. Increased defense spending is noted in the US, Europe, and Asia, driven by failures in economic integration to ensure peace. This trend impacts global security and climate change efforts. Recent tensions between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy highlight these changes. Experts suggest that the current shifts are an acceleration of long-standing trends rather than a complete break from the past, with the US's global dominance being challenged. Technological advancements are reshaping diplomacy, allowing real-time access to international events. This has led to increased public engagement and influence on foreign policy. Countries are also ramping up defense spending, with Europe and Japan notably increasing military budgets in response to security concerns.
