While the US is busy destroying itself in Eastern Europe and West Asia, East Asia too is busy preparing for countering US warmongering.
But not the way you think. Southeast Asia is engaged in its own cat-and-mouse game with the hegemon.
Jomo Kwame Sundaram, a Malaysian economist, research adviser at Khazanah Research Institute, emeritus professor and former UN assistant secretary general, discusses how the Iran war affects Asean energy, food and trade.
He examines Indonesia, the Strait of Malacca, Asean neutrality, Brics, debt and the dollar system, and why the Non-Aligned Movement needs new life through peace, sustainable development, and resistance to militarisation.
