Joe Biden has sought to portray the United States as a superpower that cares about the rule of law. The American president says this distinguishes it from Russia and China.
He has made a principles-based case for pushing back against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and Chinese President Xi Jinping’s sabre-rattling vis-à-vis Taiwan.in recent days, is challenging that narrative. The mounting number of civilian deaths in the Palestinian territory may not just erode Israel’s global support, as former U.S. President Barack Obamalast week.
What’s more, swing states – which back neither the United States nor China – have more power than they did during the old Cold War between the West and the Soviet Union. Members of what was called the non-aligned movement had little clout in that era. But countries such as India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Brazil are increasingly economically important. As a result, there is now a multipolar world.
Even before the conflict, the U.S. had failed to gain the support of some key swing states such as India and South Africa in condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It may struggle even harder to woo developing countries in the future.The United States seems to appreciate these risks.
