The one major thing that might change the overall situation would be a combination of both EU crisis *and* a generalised return to multilateralism.

After Black Hawk Down, critics called nation-building and "multilateralism" a Clinton-era invention, but George H. W. Bush had pushed nation-building after the Cold War. Samuel Helfont (@samuelhelfont.bsky.social) shows how 1990s debates reshaped Bush 41's legacy.

Just because multilateralism is on its knees does not mean we should give up on it. We risk forgetting where it comes from. It was ‘Never again’ to prevent genocides and atrocity crimes that led to the development of regional and international systems.

I mentioned this in a thread this morning but in the context of world of regional oligopolies you can think of multilateralism as a mitigant against the gravity effect of regional rule imposition (ie gravity effect isn’t just geographic).

At the same time, you're right that things shifted dramatically under Trump. His administration traded multilateralism and listening for transactional, "America First" isolationism,

France and South Korea are taking their strategy of middle power hedging against the U.S. into the film industry.
But their bid for a “multilateralism for the moving image” faces real obstacles, @jhcansler.bsky.social writes.
