Ian Bremmer: Are We Headed for Global Chaos?
Drone warfare is changing the battlefield fast. Cheap swarms can overwhelm defenses, strike deep, and create new security threats—from war zones to stadiums. Add cyber attacks and grid probes, and the gray zone keeps expanding with no clear rules or deterrents. Global power dynamics are shifting. Trump’s tough talk on Xi, Putin, and Kim clashes with stalled diplomacy and a rising China filling global gaps. With India tensions growing and Europe carrying more of Ukraine, globalization looks more fractured than ever. The tech race is also splitting. The U.S. leads in AI—for now—but China is sprinting ahead in clean energy. Climate risks are real, but so is the chance to build a cheaper, cleaner future—if politics doesn’t block the way.
Ian Bremmer, political scientist and founder of Eurasia Group, provides unmatched insight into global political dynamics. With deep knowledge of international relations, Ian expertly navigates the complexities of Vietnam’s strategic positioning between superpowers like the U.S. and China.
