The renewed US interest in Greenland has opened a fresh geopolitical fault line. Denmark, sensing a direct challenge to its sovereignty, has pushed back firmly, while Russia has warned the European Union against any form of aggression. This raises a critical question for the Western alliance: where will NATO, the G7 and the EU truly stand? Will they protect one of their own, or will strategic convenience prevail, as seen in earlier global conflicts where allies were left to fend for themselves?
Beyond Greenland, the bigger story is unmistakable. Global power is steadily shifting eastward. The BRICS bloc appears increasingly confident, with its push toward de-dollarisation, alternative settlement systems and even discussions around gold-backed trade mechanisms. These moves signal a gradual erosion of US dollar dominance and expose the visible anxiety within Western political establishments. The desperation reflected in recent policy postures only reinforces this perception.
Looking ahead, the world may be moving toward a more pragmatic and multipolar economic order, one driven less by ideology and more by mutual interest. In this evolving landscape, India and China hold immense potential, particularly in Africa and South America, where infrastructure, resources and demographic growth align with long-term opportunities. However, any escalation of war-like aggression by Western superpowers will unsettle global markets in the short term. A sharp correction seems inevitable—but it may also lay the foundation for a more balanced global economy.
