Description
The seminar at the Pakistan Institute of International Affairs reviewed global politics in 2025, highlighting conflicts in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine, Iran, and Venezuela. Experts argued that the impact of Generation Z on world change is overstated, as past revolts often failed to produce lasting results without organized resistance. Dr S. Akbar Zaidi noted the US under Donald Trump demonstrated unprecedented military precision, exemplified by operations in Iran and Venezuela, reflecting a new form of resource-driven imperialism. Air Vice Marshal Dr Muhammad Abid Rao emphasized the strategic role of US military bases and arms sales in sustaining global influence and ongoing conflicts. The discussion underscored that geopolitical power, strategy, and resources continue to dominate international relations over generational movements.
