The daily abuse on the body of knowledge observed in our time does not allow the science of geography to escape from this sad rule. The observed international trends of economic, political and cultural integration (which are also called "globalization") have brought to light the term "geopolitics" internationally and of course in our country. So everyone has become "geopolitical", without having any relation to the science of geography. Without ever having learned even an hour of cartography, telescoping, geodesy, photointerpretation, photogrammetry, geology, mineralogy, climatology, mathematical analysis, statistics, eco-geography, etc. They analyze geopolitics and geographers extensively, as in the case of Ratzel, who was fortunate enough to enjoy... a noble title and to see the prefix "von" added to his name, due to the complete ignorance of this specific author on the subject of the origin of the German Teacher. Therefore, it is unnecessary to discuss the accuracy of the analysis of his work by these specific "geopoliticians" (sic!), when they do not even know how to write his name. The complete geopolitical models are the result of the composition of conclusions of scientific specialties in the field of reference of the complete synthetic space by the geographer-geopolitical scientist. It should therefore be noted that knowledge of the critical characteristics of the international environment is understood as a synthesis of complete and/or special synthetic spaces, and constitutes the source of supply of geopolitical thought. Geopolitics is the source of production of fed-back theoretical thought, which interprets and predicts the mechanisms of acquisition or multiplication of power and influence of entities exercising all kinds of power in the international environment. It does not seek them! Geostrategy takes on the task of describing the practical ways in which all of the above will happen. Therefore, it is not the geographer who seeks to create these mechanisms, but the politician. Of course, we are not trying to absolve some and incriminate others. In modern society, we all have a share of responsibility.
