Creating a Bipolar World

We are Creating a Bipolar World

The Russian-Ukraine war that began in February 2022 will have a significant impact on the relationships between nations for years to come, despite any peace deals that will arise. The war galvanized western nations (namely the European Union or EU, and the G7 represented by Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States) to impose sanctions to punish Russia and ruin its economy. Aggressive attempts by the EU and G7 to get other nations to on board (such as China, India, countries in the Middle East and Africa) failed. Sadly, in the initial stages, there were also veiled threats that any country which did not join the sanctions regime may become subject to sanctions as well.
