The study of how factors such as geography, economics, military capability and non-State actors affects the foreign policy of states.

All articles will require a short submission statement of 3-5 sentences.

Use the article title as the submission title. Do not editorialize the title or add your own commentary to the article title.

In this community we encourage long, in-depth submissions. Submissions should not be news articles that merely provide quick updates on current events; instead they should include background information and an explanation as to why the events they describe are occurring.

Submissions should not be about an individual country's domestic policies. Instead, they should be about relationships between different countries and/or relevant international organizations. Things like breakaway politics are permitted in this subreddit, as they are relevant to and could affect the geopolitical system.

Submissions are strongly encouraged to come from reputable sources. When posting from a lesser known source, please check whether the authors have some sort of qualification demonstrating they are knowledgeable of the subjects they discuss.

Sources that include (or solely contain) maps, statistics, or other multimedia (videos, interviews, primary sources, etc.) are permitted and even encouraged in this subreddit.

We encourage discussion and welcome anyone to pose hypotheses and ask questions. We allow self-posts.

We encourage comments to be cited.

Indeed, it's so revealing when western mainstream press starts admitting that the rules were always meant to keep others down. Meanwhile, the whole defending the free world narrative is gonna be mighty hard to peddle given how economic situation in the west continues to unravel.

The reality that libs are incapable of acknowledging is that material conditions are what people care about first and foremost. The abstract freedoms they champion are intangible, and don't translate into anything meaningful for the vast majority of the people. When you can't afford food, housing, education, or healthcare, being told you're living in a free country becomes a farce.

Freedom to starve, freedom to be homeless, freedom to die of preventable diseases, freedom to be unemployed

Don't forget the most important freedom of all, the freedom to choose your exploiter.
