Nonsense. There is nothing like "geopolitical routing".

And it's not singlehomed to Cogent.

Absolute nonsense again.

So, where do you see a problem related to L3/Cogent there? Your
traceroute hits DREN, the operator of h.root-servers.net.

DREN seems to have a problem there. I can see absolutely NO connection
to any L3/Cogent dispute.

And testing from DTAG 84/8 space myself I have the same prob. Perhaps
some bogus anti-bogon-filters at DREN in place?

Please stop your constant flood of nonsense and misinformation to the
NANOG mailing list. Thank you.
