Elder millennials now have the awesome power to banish any trendy word merely by speaking it out loud in the presence of youths.

IS INDIA 🇮🇳 READY TO BE A GREAT POWER?

LTGEN (Ret.) Ravi Shankar argues that India doesn't need to announce its ambitions. In some respects, it has already begun behaving like a great power.

From our latest conversation on The Focus.

That Spider-Man game monologue about Stan Lee is pure heart.
It isn’t loud. It isn’t flashy. It’s Peter Parker quietly acknowledging the man who taught generations that heroes aren’t perfect
A promise to keep the legacy alive.

As a fourth point I would add to your convincing list that Trump‘s greatpower-ego-trip is destroying confidence in and any empathy with the US in Europe and beyond. This kind of stuff used to be called soft power. As far as the US is concerned this will soon be a thing of the past.

Wrote a short summary of how antagonizing Europe can backfire on the Trump administration, at the expense of US global power.

More on the European side of things when we know more about the results from Paris
The Trump administration should be careful what they wish for
If Europe were to implement everything the US demanded of it last week, it would end up empowering Europe at the cost of US power

Does international #cooperation collapse without #greatpower support?

Evidence from the past 80 years suggests otherwise!

I spoke with @gatool.bsky.social for @decorrespondent.nl about how #US 🇺🇸 withdrawal challenges #multilateralism 🇺🇳 – and why its fate also rests with #Europe! 🇪🇺

The #SovietInvasionOfPoland launched on #ThisDayInHistory in 1939, showing once again that the so-called #WorkersState, aka the #SovietUnion, was more interested in #GreatPower status and reclaiming the territory of the former #RussianEmpire than it was in #socialist liberation.

Report from Polish Centre for Eastern Studies suggests that the West must commit to an exhausting long-term war with Russia, increase punishment of countries who engage with Russia, and seek to alter major global institutions to increase leverage against Russia and eventually engineer its collapse.
"3. Long-term: defeat Russia Given the systemic nature of the conflict with the Russian Federation, the West must be prepared for a prolonged and exhausting confrontation with Russia, especially if the aforementioned strategy of a surge does not lead to a turning point. In this scenario, economic pressure tools, particularly sanctions and measures aimed at gradually isolating the Putin by regime internationally, will become increasingly important. Simultaneously, a deeper consolidation and strengthening of the West’s capacity and resilience will be necessary. In this context, the evolution of the global order will play a significant role: the reform of international institutions, changes in the nature of globalisation and, crucially, the revival of the West as a community open to external cooperation. The scale and time frame of this policy should resemble the early Cold War period, particularly during the doctrine of containment, while recognising the different conditions under which this current conflict is unfolding." "Western policy only partially influences the trends mentioned above. In the long term, maintaining or – optimally – systematically increasing sanctions pressure on Russia, as well as Western countries refusing to return to pre-2022 trade and economic cooperation (especially in energy and technology), is of particular importance. The greatest challenge to this policy is, on one hand, the direct and indirect costs borne by the West, which are causing growing resistance in some countries (see above), and on the other, the actual support Russia receives from non-Western states. From the perspective of the West, the most dangerous aspects are direct military cooperation (such as arms and ammunition exports to Russia or joint exercises) and the provision of military or dual-use technol- ogies, which directly enhance the offensive capabilities of the Russian Armed Forces. It is therefore crucial to clearly define a  “red line”, the crossing of which would result in sanctions against any third-party entities (including those in Western countries) that violate it. Furthermore, large-scale economic cooperation with Russia, especially in the energy sector (such as the import of Russian resources, transportation, and insurance), remains problematic. Dialogue and persuasion, including offering alternative cooperation projects, play a vital role in addressing this issue." "Reforming international institutions. Current major political (such as the UN) and economic organisations (such as the IMF and World Bank) were shaped after World War II to reflect the power structures of that time, which were dominated by the Western countries. They do not fully account for the significant changes in the world since then, particularly the rise of non-Western states’ potential and ambitions. Without increasing these countries’ interest in the effective functioning of these institutions, it will be difficult to engage them in cooperation on strategic security issues (including countering Moscow’s aggressive policies). For example, expanding the geographic representation of the permanent members of the UN Security Council, potentially introducing semi-permanent members, and placing certain limits on the use of the veto power would address calls for greater democratisation and representativeness. However, it is crucial that the growing influence of non-Western states on international organisations does not lead to the paralysis of these organisations or their transformation into tools for scupper Western policies." "Changing the nature of globalisation, particularly concerning the offshoring of production and the internationalisation of supply chains. Until recently, this process was viewed as a way to reduce business costs, which was a priority. However, the rise of confrontational international relations and renewed greatpower competition have rendered the old model of globalisation dysfunctional, or even dangerous. As critical resources, supply chains and the concentration of sensitive goods production have become the instruments of aggressive policies by some states – especially authoritarian and totalitarian regimes – the focus on cost minimisation is unsustainable. The security of supply of criti- cal resources and products, maximising economic self-sufficiency, developing national industrial bases and building supply chains based on cooperation with allied and partner states have all become key priorities. The increased costs associated with them and a partial return to the broader use of market pro- tection tools (primarily within economic blocs) are an inevitable consequence of these processes. Reviving the West as an open community due to shared interests in defending against external aggression and efforts to fundamentally revise the rule-based (democratic) global order. It is essential for Western countries – the US, Canada, the UK, the EU and EEA member states (including accession countries), as well as Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan – to intensify bilateral and multilateral cooperation in politics, economics, technology, and the military. This would improve the coordination of strategic policy directions, enhance the security of resource and technology supplies, and increase their defence potential and deterrence capabilities. Key concepts in this regard include friendshoring and de-risking. Furthermore, the dominant vertical relationship model between these countries and the US, in the role of the leader of the “collective West”, …

The return of #GreatPower competition—driven by #Russia and #China—puts pressure on smaller states to pick sides.

Their autonomy now depends on geopolitics, mobility, and internal cohesion.
