Hey fam! 🤗 Danish peace researcher Jan Oberg just called out the US for 'bullying and plundering,' saying it's a sign of a declining superpower. His comments came after President Trump's renewed threat earlier this month to acquire Greenland.
Oberg, co-founder of the Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research, argues that the US has been flexing its muscles through unilateralism (acting without allies) and coercion – moves that feel more like power grabs than global leadership. 💡
Why it matters for us in South and Southeast Asia: from climate talks to digital rights, unilateral actions can upend the balance in international discussions and affect emerging markets. 🌍
As big powers jockey for strategic spots – be it the Arctic's Greenland or tech supply chains – younger generations need to stay tuned. What do you think: Is this just politics as usual, or a real red flag? 🔥
