Diplomacy in the Age of Weaponized Resources
Countries increasingly weaponize essential resources and infrastructure, including finance, energy, and digital access, often leading to complex geopolitical tensions. The United States has notably leveraged its digital infrastructure, controlling access to internet resources and financial systems like SWIFT, effectively manipulating global reliance on American technologies. This behavior reflects a broader trend where nations, including Russia and India, utilize their resources as tools of power, demonstrating that diplomacy is essential to navigate these exaggerated national responses. In this context, Europe’s strategic dependency on US liquefied natural gas represents a significant shift in energy reliance, influenced by geopolitical maneuvering.
