GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
Les divergences nationales reflètent des positionnements géostratégiques fondamentaux : les alliés atlantiques (US, UK, AU) maintiennent une solidarité de façade malgré des réserves sur l'approche trumpienne, l'Europe continentale exprime son attachement au multilatéralisme face à l'unilatéralisme américain, les puissances eurasiatiques (Russie, Chine) instrumentalisent la crise pour dénoncer l'hégémonie occidentale, tandis que les puissances moyennes et émergentes privilégient une neutralité pragmatique centrée sur leurs intérêts économiques. Les structures médiatiques nationales amplifient ces biais : médias d'État chinois et russes, proximité culturelle anglo-saxonne, traditions diplomatiques européennes, et considérations de survie nationale pour les pays directement impactés.
