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.

You not recognizing that everything has bias is a problem here. There is no politically "neutral" position. There are, however, factual realities and wholesale lies, and things between depending on how they are presented, and you keep spewing utter nonsense.
What you are behaving like is a garden-variety "independent thinker" westerner who repeats western imperialist talking points, while believing you are being discerning. Yes, I want to push a narrative, one that aligns with the interests of the historically colonized and imperialized peoples of the world. I also want to push a narrative that is factually accurate and these are not incompatible agendas.
Part of the problem for someone like you, and I have been there in the past myself, is you think you are above that, and you think a person can be above that. You think you can examine reality from outside it and you can't. You are far more of a product of propaganda than you think you are. Your intellectual arrogance and the heightened coupling between your ego sense of competence and your ability to believe you are above biases, is part of your undoing and will continue to be, unless you face it.
