Chas Freeman: U.S. Alliances Collapse & Israel Commits Suicide
Chas Freeman repeatedly argues that the U.S.-led global order is collapsing because the West refuses to adapt to shifting power dynamics and continues to pursue failed, unsustainable policies. He asserts that this refusal to engage in pragmatic diplomacy and accept multipolarity is accelerating Western decline while non-Western powers build alternative, consensus-based systems.
