Who runs the world? Political scientist Ian Bremmer argues it’s not as simple as it used to be. With some eye-opening questions about the nature of leadership, he asks us to consider the impact of the evolving global order and our choices as participants in the future of democracy.

The idea that Russia is losing its power is farcical propaganda. And I don't even like Putin.
I don't know whether your report is correct or not.Prior to the coming of Modi India was a good friend of Russia. He too supported Putin in international fora relating to Ukraine war. Your report is hard to believe as we will be saying goodbye to subsided imports from Russia as against hollow promise from the US. Modi is not an adequately educated PM and is easily carried away by praise and flattery. America never helped India ; even when we were ready to nuy F-16, etc., they gave it to Pakistan free of charge in the name of fight against terrorism. Hope Modi and his advisors will study the US and UK role in India's war with Pakistan for the freedom of Bengladesh. India will initially get some largesses from the US but the hard lesson will be learnt in due course. This was the perfect opportunity to remove the dollar hegemony. Still your report is very difficult to believe because India's security, international relations,etc., were deeply influenced by its relationship with Russia. As C.P.Scott wrote 'comment is free but facts are sacred' who can tell a fact from fiction? It's all the more important as facts include spurious facts also. Which facts you have relied upon – genuine or spurious?
Being political scientist u should well aware before claiming allies of US
U presented India too as allies, is it awareness or sort of ….
A BARRER CON LOS TÍTERES PROXYS PROYANKYS Y LACAYOS CHIROS DLA PIRRRATERIA KGRINGA..AFRICA Y LATAM ESTAMOS APLICANDO EL PLAN ANACONDA KRYPTONITIKA
China runs the world.
Political science is fraud pure BS
Of course, he ends his talk with a pitch for more censorship.
Bremmer needs to take some presentation classes.
What a joke
"The US didn't want to be the world's police", instead well funded un-american elements of it wanted to become dictators. Now it is payback time.
This poorly educated guy has no clue neither about politics nor economy. He believes in untouchable US military might and that US economy is bigger than China's. Both points are false. About Russia he knows nothing.
Typical globalist bs propaganda. It is insane people still fall for it.
Fifteen years ago the US became less willing to be the world's policeman while fighting two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? WTF?!
If things go well, Elon Musk will be single handedly the most dominant person in the world in the coming decades.! 💯🤔
Russia lost 200,000 soldiers in Ukraine?! This guy doesn't know sh!t…Russia is the most powerful country in the world militarily. American boutique military has lost its primacy, although it is not apparent yet, but it will be soon when they engage China.
just BS… political scientist MA
@ 1:52 he dramatically says:
¨Number 2, China was integrated into U.S. institutions on the presumption that as they got wealthier & more powerful they would become Americans. Turns out they're still Chinese ."
The sentence is loaded with arrogance, disrespect, and stupidity beyond belief.
Obviously after 21st century India and China rule the world. Like in Ancient time this two countries rule the world.
It is propaganda
There is change in order now.
There is no amount of technological or economical development that can compensate for the spiritual and moral decline the world is going into
It doesnt matter who becomes the next superower. The Planet on which we all are living is dying & so is the Morality, Humilty & Humanity of the Human Race. It is just a Rhetorical Question now. Whoever becomes can enjoy for just a few years till we all fall down, together.
Never knew the US was the number one exporter of Democracy? I always thought it was the number one exporter of Arm's, that too to both sides of any conflict that usually it had helped to start in the first place. 😂
To be precise and to the point the only obstacle is Greed from Western countries nothing else.
Stopped listening around the 1 minute mark.
Hmmm… I believe this is a deeply parochial misunderstanding of real vs data. Making something tangible or crunching code. And this is why there is deep denial that 3 Ukranine armies faced destruction and why the cupboard is bare for us to supply them with a 4th. And now we are looking at a tangible result of focus code vs. power.
Jesus Ch, another PhD working for mainstream propaganda.
Complete ignorance of the history, geopolitics, economics, military, digital world and AI from the last fifty years to the present day of the world we live in.
He can't even imitate the late Steve Jobs.
Total rubbish:
Welcome to the Mars Minority Matrix
Ian Bremmer what’s his curriculum? Exactly- He is close to being a NO-BODY…. Nobody! – Who believes what this guy has to say? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A couple of points – 1) Russia is now the dominant military power in the world – NATO/West cannot compete either conventional or nuclear; 2) EU and Japan are impotent and essentially US vassals doing what they are told; 3) The US economy is NOT robust – all it can do is provide financial services and debt, it doesn't produce or extract on the scale of China or Russia; 4) Tech companies cannot impose their will on the world – military power is the governing force here – ask yourself what would happen if multiple heads of high tech industries were to suddenly die mysteriously? or people just decide not to use your tech anymore? Revolutions have been happening for thousands of years before Twitter/X/Whatever it is today cam on the scene.
Its too late to have a global unison power to control these digital enterprises. We can block Tik Tok in USA. but we can not stop them, lets say, in Timbuktu or something.
We dont have the tool to stop it. We can force some social media CEO on some hearing, but we cant drag the foreign CEO into one. You cant drag the one in Singapore into USA parliament hearing. Its not pretty, its not ethic, its not freedom. That even when SG have close relation to USA. Whats about the popular social media in India? or China?
Only world government can do that, and making one global power like this will be impossible. Because that would be a strict and cold handed world government to keep everyone in the world in line.
how many lies did he speak in 15 minutes ? I counted 98, TED brainwashing as usual.
The USA is no longer a democracy. And for those who would want to argue this, just look up what an idocratic government is and what an autocracy is. That’s what we are at this point.
Well spoken, I appreciate the attempt — but we’re fucked
Nice talk, Don Quixote
If this is what passes as western-trained geopolitical analysis, god help us! This fellow could focus less on his dramatic stagecraft, and much more on his research and analysis. He would be less likely to embarrass himself as nothing more than another western MSM propaganda mouthpiece.
Well, he’s finally stopped supporting Putin’s Russia, I guess that is some good news. I am not impressed by Ian Bremmer
What about religion please comment
Why don't you explain to the audience how you bankrupted the United States and who benefited from the bankruptcy?
