🔥Stephen Bell: SHIFTING ALLIANCES, INCREASING VIOLENCE & The Global South's Rise

🚨Is the world witnessing a historic power shift defined by shifting alliances and increasing violence? In this incisive Deep Dive Perspective, Stephen Bell, Treasurer of Stop the War Coalition, analyzes the dramatic economic rise of the Global South, the corresponding US decline, and how these dynamics fuel international tensions and increasing violence.

📌This deep dive with Stephen Bell covers:
✔️The Shifting Global Economy & Shifting Alliances: How the Global South now produces the majority of global GDP, challenging the G7, US dominance, and leading to new geopolitical shifting alliances.
✔️China's Peaceful Rise: China's economic development without conquest, lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty, and its implications for global cooperation versus confrontation amidst these shifting alliances.
✔️US Foreign Policy & Increasing Violence: Why the US decline in economic competitiveness leads to increased reliance on military force, contributing to increasing violence and a confrontational stance towards rising powers like China, Russia, and Iran.
✔️West Asia in Flux (Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Iran): The impact of endless wars, US interventionism, the destabilization of independent republics, and the strategic importance of the region for initiatives like China's Belt and Road, all set against a backdrop of increasing violence.
✔️The Role of Terrorism: How the US and its allies have historically used and supported terrorist groups (Al-Qaeda, ISIS, HTS) as a foreign policy tool, a factor in the increasing violence worldwide.
✔️Europe's Dilemma: The economic and political price European nations are paying for their shifting alliances with US foreign policy, particularly concerning the war in Ukraine and sanctions against Russia.
✔️The Migrant Crisis & Its Roots: Connecting the influx of migrants and refugees to Western-led endless wars and interventionism, a direct consequence of policies that lead to increasing violence.
✔️Internal Crises in the West: The rise of far-right movements, austerity, the erosion of public services, and the threat to democracy fueled by economic stagnation and a neo-colonial mindset, contributing to internal societal tensions and potential for increasing violence.
✔️Solutions & Resistance: The need for a grassroots movement opposing war, racism, and austerity, and advocating for a new, respectful relationship between the Global North and the Global South, navigating these shifting alliances towards peace.
✔️The Future of Global Order: Can the Global North adapt to a multipolar world characterized by shifting alliances, or will it continue down the path of conflict and self-destruction, perpetuating increasing violence? The potential of BRICS and other Global South initiatives.

💬Stephen Bell provides a compelling analysis of why the world is in such flux, marked by shifting alliances and increasing violence, and what is needed to move towards a more peaceful and equitable global order. This is a crucial discussion for understanding the root causes of today's geopolitical crises.
