    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....

    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...

    Hello everyone, I’m a divorced single mum to two amazing teenagers. I’m a musician/producer and teacher of music and geopolitics. I love walking, dogs, silence and books. I’m interested in nearly everything and I’m really not sure that I have the answers to anything....

    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...

    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...
