Despite all the rhetoric, Europe has continued buying large volumes of Russian energy from third parties. Looks like now that the attack on India failed, the new plan is to force Europe to stop buying energy instead. Europeans will now be forced to become even more reliant on expensive energy exports from the US and their economies will further suffer allowing the US to poach more business from Europe as a result.

I find the hilarious thing about it is that Europeans see themselves as being more sophisticated, but so far the US has managed to outplay them at every turn.

The study of how factors such as geography, economics, military capability and non-State actors affects the foreign policy of states.

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.
