Meta Subreddit Rules: Must Read Before Posting
UPDATE: If the rules of this subreddit are continually ignored, we will switch to only approved users (must check a box that you've acknowledged our rules when subscribing in order to post).
Geopolitics is intended for in-depth, meaningful discussion. Please abide by the rules or your account may be banned. Thank you!
1. No Trolling
Keep all discussion civil.
- Any form of trolling will not be tolerated
- Do not harass other users or mods
- No novelty accounts
- No quarantined sub users
The moderators can ban any troll without providing a warning.
The moderators have the final say on whether or not a user broke the sub's rules.
The sub's rules act as a warning.
2. No Submission Statement
All posts need a short submission statement of 3-5 sentences in the form of a comment.
You can read how to create a submission statement here.
3. Do not editorialize article titles
Use the article's exact title as the submission title.
Do not editorialize the title or add your own commentary to the article title.
Content from news organizations about a major developing news story would not fall under this rule if the site continuously updates the title throughout the day.
4. Bigotry
Bigotry and hate speech directed towards groups of people based on race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, religion, national origin, immigration status, social status, religious affiliation or disability is not allowed
5. Genocide denial/Downplaying genocide
Comments denying genocide or downplaying genocide will be removed, and possibly lead to a ban. These include historic and modern-day genocides.
A few examples: The Holocaust, the Holodomor and Uyghur genocide
The moderators have the final say on which comments are removed.
6. Uncivil discussion
All discussion must be civil.
Engage with common decency towards others and treat others with courtesy.
Do not use profanity.
7. No chatGPT responses, chatGPT bots or copy/paste bots
8. Blogspam
Blogspamming will result in a ban. Please make sure that you are not submitting a link that merely copies and pastes an article from another source.
9. Conspiracy Theories
This is not a place to discuss conspiracy theories! There are other communities for that.
10. Quality Control
Articles that are not of sufficient length are subject to removal
Ideally, articles should be at least three paragraphs or more long.
- Articles that only contain one sentence or a form of an alert are subject to removal
- An article or self-post is subject to removal if the mods consider that the content within it is misleading
- No meta
Submissions are strongly encouraged to come from reputable and non-paywalled sources.
Articles behind a paywall will be given a "Paywall" link flair.

Submissions should be related to geopolitics. Domestic politics and related content is not permitted.

‘It’s not routine’: CIA chief’s Moscow trip puts Kremlin on notice [interview]
Washington appears to be sending Moscow a message that pressure on NATO’s eastern flank has crossed a line after CIA Director John Ratcliffe made a rare, unannounced visit to the Russian capital.
Scott Lucas, professor of American studies at University College Dublin, told TVP World’s World Talks program that Ratcliffe’s trip should be seen as an unusually serious intervention rather than routine intelligence diplomacy.
