A “Dramatic Redrawing”: How Three Leaders are Changing the World Map

The world map is being dramatically redrawn, not with armies, but with handshakes and shared carpools. The bonhomie between the leaders of India, China, and Russia at the SCO summit signals a profound geopolitical shift that has been described in the US as the dawn of a “new world order.”
This “dramatic redrawing” was the focus of a warning from American analyst Van Jones, who called the summit a “historically big deal.” The sight of Narendra Modi, Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin united, he argued, should be a deeply concerning development for the United States and its Western allies.
The new map features a powerful Eurasian bloc, consolidated by a shared opposition to US economic unilateralism. The Trump administration’s tariffs have served as the catalyst, pushing these three major powers to set aside differences and forge a common front.
According to Jones, this new geography leaves the US isolated and “in a box.” The country is now on the “bad side of the triangle,” a strategically perilous position. The new world being drawn is one where “it’s everybody against us,” a reality that Jones believes is “not good for America.”
