Ian Bremmer: A political power vacuum is bad news for the world

We clearly live in a G-Zero world. But have the crises of 2022 made it better or worse?

On the one hand, the perception that the US is the global leader it once was leaves a vacuum that rogue states are eager to fill. On the other, the West has stepped up, uniting NATO against Russia over the war in Ukraine.


"When it gets bad enough, the international community shows resilience," Bremmer explains.
