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.

For the most part this is mission accomplished for the US. Crippled the European economy and made Europe dependent on expensive US gas. Forced ukraine to sell off their land and industries to vulture capitalists. Made defence contracts and weapons manufacturers a shit ton of money, including getting Europe & NATO to deplete all old non-USA supplies which will be replaced with new supplies from the US with expensive servicing contracts. Ramped up propaganda and media control to a whole new level.
They failed to weaken Russia and accelerated BRICS development and now the global majority is turning away from the west. We will see in the next few years if the profit was worth it for the US. We will also see if the fall of Ukraine leads to Azov/neo-nazi terror cells in Europe. But hey for the USA there is still Georgia...
It's a typical kind of short term win with massive long term blow back that US excels at.
