As Europe grapples with its challenges, the broader geopolitical landscape is shifting with the rise of new power players. Countries like China, the United States, and Russia are increasingly influential, while nations such as India, Brazil, and Indonesia look to assert their roles on the global stage. However, these nations face their own internal challenges, be it economic inequality in India or political instability in Brazil and Indonesia.
The assertions that Europe is on a downward trajectory in terms of its geopolitical influence are compelling. The reliance on a U.S.-led hegemony has led to decisions that might be termed self-inflicted wounds, wherein European nations have aligned too closely with American interests at the expense of their own viability.
