Trump’s Push to Dismantle the Postwar Order Leaves Global Vacuum

The piece argues that MAGA aimed to overturn the postwar international order, but in doing so created a vacuum that Russia, China, and others are rushing to fill. With American leadership fading and alliances fraying, global security is diminishing, wars expand beyond borders, and new tech-empowered warfare levels the playing field. Rather than abandoning the order, the author suggests reform is needed to prevent a drift toward greater instability and a costly arms race.
