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.

Let me guess, Euros came with lectures and demands again, China politely listened and then showed them the door.

Yep. The summit was supposed to last for two days, but the Chinese got sick of the Euros shit and ended it after just one day.

Good. Everyone everywhere should treat European leaders like the irrelevant non-entities that they are.

My readout is, Ursula started her arrogant lecturing about Russia, but the annoyed Chinese, who expected trade negotiations not lectures, would have none of it, and just walked away. Ursula concluded how this was "excellent"...

She keeps falling upwards, even by western ghoul standards.

Between Ursula and Kallas I guarantee that's exactly how it went down.
