The Apocalyptic Maneuverability of World Politics (A case study on USA under Trumpian era)

Abstract: Geopolitics is not like the cherry on the cake, and it is not as easy as having Starbucks coffee in a modern restaurant; world politics is changing more dramatically than we expect. So, geopolitics is making the future more unpredictable, like the "Black Swan Theory," which is unexpected due to the lack of evidence to decode the future intentions of nation-states. The world had already witnessed one of the geopolitical earthquakes in 1991, which can also be called the most prominent example of the "Black Swan Theory" given by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a Lebanese-American essayist, mathematical statistician, former options trader, risk analyst, and aphorist. Amidst the geopolitical juggernaut in the early phases of the 21st century, everyone now perceiving the heat of civil wars, invasions, regime change, political turmoil or instabilities, border conflicts, democratic backslidings, the rise of dictators cum authoritarianism, food shortages, water scarcity, deadly pandemics like Covid-19 and Ebola, acute climatic issues and challenges, drastic decreasing fertility rates and so on. The apocalyptic maneuverability of geopolitics reveals the reality of changing global phenomena. This article will elaborate on how foreign policies change due to the decisions made by world leaders. This article will highlight how Trumpism, or the Donald Trump era, molds global order, future implications, reactions and counter-reactions, and spillover effects in the international order. It will cover major countries, their approach to this global order, and how they could survive in a realistic world that primarily believes in statism, survival, and self-help according to Neorealism.
