Doomloop

A cycle where economic conditions, domestic politics, and international geo-politics feed off each other in a negative way, resulting in fragmentation, instability, increasing inequity, and resentment; the doom loop gives people the sense that they must “blow up” existing systems in order to effect any real, positive change.

Both the United States and China are rejecting global organizations such as WHO and the United Nations as not beneficial to them. China, for instance, is leading emerging nations into new economic alliances, creating fragmentation in previously accepted international rules, and causing a doomloop of insecurity, instability, and increased potential for national conflicts.
