Do You Think the US Is Losing Power Over Its Proxies in the Global South?

There is something interesting happening right now where we see in the context of the sanctions on Russia you have a significant number of countries in the global south that are allied with the US. Saudi Arabia which is not only is it refusing to become an antagonist against Russia it's also refusing to increase its oil production when the US is demanding it. I would hope that the Chinese relation or whatever they did with Saudi Arabia would not be something that would lead to tensions with Iran because Iran is clearly a state that has positioned itself much more as a counter systemic anti systemic state, says Peter Bergen.
