The intricate world order carefully stitched together by the United States over decades is now unraveling. The fabric of this system is being pulled apart by a new, powerful alliance of India, China, and Russia, whose recent display of unity at the SCO summit was a major tug that threatens to tear the whole structure apart.
American commentator Van Jones warned that this is no accident, but a deliberate unraveling. He sees the partnership of Modi, Xi, and Putin as a coordinated effort to dismantle the unipolar system, a process fueled by deep and widespread global frustration with American policies, particularly its use of coercive tariffs.
This unraveling is not just about challenging the US, but about creating an alternative. The alliance is actively working to weave a new global tapestry—a multipolar world—where power and influence are more evenly distributed and not concentrated in a single nation.
For the United States, the risk is being caught in the tangle of a collapsing order. Jones’s analysis suggests the US is already “in a box” and strategically adrift. It now faces a dangerous world where the very system it created and led is coming apart at the seams, leaving it isolated and vulnerable.
