In his attempt to explain the invasion of Ukraine in the context of the reconfiguration of the global geopolitical chessboard, Vladimir Putin tells us a counter-narrative and draws us an alternative map of the world we are heading towards.

Latin America and the war in Ukraine: Thucydides’ second trap

The "Thucydides trap" is a term popularized by political scientist Graham T. Allison to describe "the concomitant dangers when a rising power rivals an established power," including a potential warlike conflict between them.
