Let's take a look at some of the major geopolitical issues surrounding the war in Ukraine.

This gives rise to controversies that are now commonly referred to as «woke». Although they are in the minority, they are by no means innocent. They are part of an ever-growing political project, the tactics of which it is important to understand. Analysis.
