GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
Les divergences reflètent les fractures géopolitiques contemporaines : l'axe sino-russe exploite le conflit pour délégitimer l'hégémonie occidentale, l'Europe continentale résiste à l'entraînement militaire américain par calcul économique, les puissances moyennes asiatiques privilégient la neutralité commerciale, tandis que les alliés traditionnels des États-Unis maintiennent une loyauté critique. La fragmentation narrative révèle l'érosion du consensus occidental et l'émergence d'un monde multipolaire où chaque acteur priorise ses intérêts nationaux sur la solidarité idéologique.
