Global politics is rarely far from my thoughts on a daily basis, and I was cogitating on whether anyone else feels that 2026 is going to see further ramping-up of Superpowers flexing their military and economic interests around the globe ?

Whilst past trends do seem to indicate an upswing in such activities, it concerns me that these actions are becoming more overt and emboldened by the main Superpowers themselves.

The USA's actions in Venezuela for example send a clear signal to other superpowers that "if you want something, take it", do they not ?

I know no one has a crystal ball, but based on past events, would it be fair to project that China is feeling emboldened ? Are they feeling threatened by USA involvement in South America interfering with their future BRICS plans ?

Do China see opportunity in Siberia with a weakened Russia ? Would China use North Korea as a proxy to occupy Siberia ? Would it be a combined effort and to the victor the spoils ? Is a Russo-Sino war on the horizon ?

As for Venezuela, that's pretty much anyone's guess. Will the USA's actions speed up BRICS in South America ?

Will Argentina feel emboldened to have another crack at the Falklands ?

Will the USA feel that Greenland is ripe for some "protection" ?

Is Taiwan living on even less borrowed time now ?
