What is Greenland's motivation for this proposal, in your opinion? Greenland has the right to vote for full independence from Denmark under the terms of the 2009 self-governance rule.... - johnky...
🧨 We Need a Better Way to Talk About Landmines
Finland just pulled out of the global treaty banning landmines — and it’s stirred up a storm. Human rights groups like Amnesty International are calling it a dangerous step backwards. And I get it: landmines are horrifying.... I appreciate hearing this. I used to be super liberatarian-esque non-interventionism, but a few years ago I read "Prisoners of Geography", (highly recommend) written by a British veteran global journalist, and between the lines I kept being grateful that Team America really was... I agree that I oversold my suggested alternative to optics. If we could all jump together to the kind of ~honesty and sincerity I'm wishing for, I think it would be great for us all, but given the adversarial nature of things we're in at the moment, how do we move towards... Thanks for sharing this; "China isn't as big of a challenger to the american hegemony as people think" has been my gut sense for a while but I'm so uninformed on the subject that I have high error bars.... What do you need from a candidate to convince you to vote for them?
For me by far the most important thing is geopolitics. Given that America is the "world police" and is largely responsible for keeping world maritime trade routes open (on which the entire world economy rests - including the US economy), it is shocking to me how much people focus... Bilderberg is just middle management. Here’s who actually pulls the strings
In a July 2026 Commodity Culture interview, mining engineer Simon Michaux warns that a hidden transnational “criminal oligarchy” is engineering a structural global reset—using crises, wars, and fear to force populations into a techno-feudal “slave system”—as the oil-and-fiat... - rockydewyer...

I am a drafting technician with two decades of hands-on technical experience, but that professional identity is really just one layer. Underneath I am someone who thinks like an analyst.... - Emberley...
What do the people of Twain say? That do they want to do collectively? To believe China won't do what it already said it would could be deadly. Twain belongs to those that built it " The people of Twain" .... - eellis0408...
I hope you're not alone in that desire, that's what we're here for! And hoping to be a schelling point for others like you/us to find each other. you mention on your profile being an expert the arctic; i read tim marshall's opinion of that area in his book The Power of... - sness...
An US - Iran Thread, especially as it relates to personal sense-making and 'waking up' frames
I'd love help making sense of what's going on. I don't have a lot of geopolitical history other than reading books by Tim Marshall and I don't even really know what kind of questions to answer, so here are some of the ones I'm thinking about.... - onAll over-generalizations are harmful, even this one. How can we achieve brevity in communication without clinging to oversimplified models of the world?by
I like where you’re taking this; that said I’d argue hedging can damage what already exists. For example a friend recently mentioned to me how he thinks nuance (hedging) around Russia being a bully in invading Ukraine is harmful to the truth and has serious consequences... I dont know anything about this, but I can very much imagine government people being scared of Chinese control over self-driving cars—people are scared of this with Tesla as well—and simply not doing a great job with a ban (eg: letting Volvo through).... Yeah this was really jarring for me too. They both made really strong statements and I had just read your post about geopolitics being the most important issue, and then suddenly it just went in another direction....
