GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
The narrative divergences reflect national geostrategic positioning vis-à-vis American power. Traditional allies (UK, ES) adopt moral critique to preserve autonomy while maintaining the alliance, while emerging economic partners (AR, KR) prioritize commercial pragmatism. Regional middle powers (SG, AU) develop a technocratic approach to navigate between great powers, whereas geopolitical rivals (RU, QA) instrumentalize American weaknesses to legitimize a multipolar order. This fragmentation reveals the erosion of Western narrative hegemony and the emergence of competing analytical frameworks.
