“The West is in a Box”: A Stark Warning on the New Eurasian Alliance

“The West is now in a box,” declared American political commentator Van Jones, offering a grim assessment of the current geopolitical landscape. His comments were triggered by the powerful display of unity among the leaders of India, China, and Russia at the recent SCO summit, an event he sees as the inauguration of a new world order.
This burgeoning Eurasian alliance, personified by the camaraderie between Narendra Modi, Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin, represents a formidable challenge to decades of Western dominance. Jones labeled their meeting a “historically big deal,” urging Americans to recognize the threat posed by this new coalition of global heavyweights.
The formation of this bloc is being driven by a shared opposition to US economic policies. As the Trump administration continues to double down on tariffs, it is inadvertently solidifying relationships between countries that see the US as a destabilizing force. Their collective message from the summit was one of defiance and self-reliance.
Jones used a powerful analogy to describe America’s predicament, stating the country is on the “bad side of the triangle.” This strategic isolation, he argued, is a dramatic departure from the past and a development that is “not good for America.” The new multipolar world, it seems, is one that leaves the US cornered.
