The absence of a geopolitical counterweight has emboldened U.S. military and strategic overreach, particularly in cybersecurity and military interventions, creating unintended vulnerabilities in global security frameworks.

Immediate risk assessment and diplomatic engagement are critical to mitigate long-term systemic risks.
