Often when a powerful country attacks a weaker country the weaker country cannot respond proportionately because it simply isn't strong enough and this has largely been true in the past few decades when the United States was the most powerful country on Earth and the US was interfering in the internal affairs of countries all around the world, carrying out coups and regime change operations, invading foreign countries, imposing sanctions and most nations were not powerful enough to respond with an equal and opposite reaction.

However in the past few years the geopolitical order has been shifting in some profound ways. And what we're seeing is that the US empire overextended itself and the more the US attacks and lashes out against foreign countries, in reality what's happening is that the US is in fact accelerating the transition to a more multipolar world.

And more and more countries are seeking alternatives to US political and economic dominance. By attacking China and Russia and Iran and even India all at the same time what the US government has done is the US has helped to unite China, India, Russia and Iran. These four large countries are part of a very important organisation that is not very well known in the West. It is called the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation or SCO. And this September 2025 these large Eurasian countries gathered together in the Chinese city of Tianjin to hold a historic SCO summit in which they pledged to deepen their cooperation and build a more multipolar world.

Today I'm going to analyse the most important outcomes of this historic meeting which is a perfect example of how the more the US government attacks other countries around the world, the more it incentivises them to build a new kind of global order, one in which the US is no longer the global hegemon. So in short, what we're talking about increasingly is a post US global order.
