2022 is the year of conflicts erupting... and an attempt to redraw "maps"
It may be a matter of superficiality and ignoring the facts if we consider that 2022 was a normal year, because the events that took place in this year were truly exceptional, and were reflected in their consequences and effects, and perhaps their specificity, on the whole world, because some of them were an attempt to redraw maps.
Given that the world’s events are many, and we cannot go over all of them, we will try to address the most important of them, such as the explosive demonstrations in Iran a few months ago, which shook the Iranian regime from within, and sparked mixed reactions across the world, and the Ukraine war and its economic and geopolitical effects. The countries of the world, especially the European continent, the departure of Queen Elizabeth, who formed a large part of Britain's modern history, and enjoyed great popularity around the world, the visit of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, to Taiwan and the challenge of China, and the visit of President Joe Biden to the Middle East, and what It sparked reactions, the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Saudi Arabia, and his convening of more than one summit, in what can be considered a repositioning of Beijing towards the Middle East, and a reorientation by some Arab countries towards Beijing.
