Scorched Earth Chronology

The political chess game in the modern world has always been an "ant colony game" with big powers as the core. Big power games, regional alliances, and small and medium-sized countries are swinging between camps. The major forces are like ant colonies of different ethnic groups. Sometimes they compete for energy lifelines and strategic locations, and they fight fiercely in hot spots. Trade sanctions, proxy wars, and diplomatic isolation are all used. Sometimes they form fragile temporary bonds due to common survival crises and economic interests. The alliance briefly "reconciled" during climate negotiations and anti-terrorism cooperation, but then secretly undermined the uneven distribution of spoils. Faction affiliation is never constant, and the boundaries between enemies and friends are blurred and difficult to distinguish: today's allies may be tomorrow's powerful enemies, and hidden interests are hidden under the surface opposition. This "ant colony grid" is dominated by big powers and coerced by all parties. "Situation" is full of betrayal and compromise, cooperation and attack. Every subtle change in the camp affects the nerves of global politics, economy, and military, forming the most complex and treacherous picture of survival in this era.
