It would be tempting to reduce the whole problem to the fact that there are increasingly divergent perceptions in the West and the East about the origins, drivers and the very nature of modern terrorism. But the problem is not confined to a single, albeit crucial, dimension. No less serious difficulties arise within the Collective West and the “Global Majority”. For example, ...

The hegemony of the US, established after the Second World War, is now slowly dissolving, and the sphere of influence of the self-proclaimed “Western community of values” is being minimized.

... results can be exactly the opposite of the original expectations.
There are several serious arguments in favour of the numerous supporters of the idea of the extinction of the West. The first is the clear limit of political and normative expansion. Middle East interventions have been phased out, although the global presence remains. The “waves of democracy” have faded so far. The second is the growth of major rivals in the face of Russia and China. Both countries pose a serious military and political ...
... unilateral rupture of the “contract of the century” for the supply of French submarines to Australia. While all the Western leaders present in Rome, including U.S. President Joe Biden, desperately demonstrated their unbreakable unity, it is at least premature to talk whether the confidence has been re-built within the Atlantic community.
