From TikTok bans to trade wars, this isn't your grandpa's Cold War โ but what is it?
Westad tackles burning questions: Can the U.S. and China avoid collision? ๐ค๐ฅ Will the Global South rewrite the rules? And why does Europe keep side-eyeing both superpowers? Spoiler: History's not a roadmap, but it's got some ๐ฅ tea about patterns we're seeing now.
Key takeaways for your group chat:
- Why 'new Cold War' labels miss the plot ๐ฌ
- How developing nations are flipping the power script ๐
- Multilateralism's glow-up challenge: Survive or dive? ๐
