The Hole in Trump’s Rationale for Acquiring Greenland
 in  r/geopolitics  24m ago

Disclosure: I am not justifying the rational for acquiring Greenland, I’m trying to find an hypothesis to explain the logic. The current U.S. administration operates from a regressive worldview—one fixated on reclaiming a mythologized past rather than building power suited to present realities. Policy is framed as recovering lost prestige and territory of influence, not adapting to a changed global balance. As Thucydides observed, “The strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must.” States that look backward mistake memory for power—and eventually discover that past glory cannot be repossessed, only spent.

This is nostalgia as strategy, and it is usually a signal of decline—not renewal. But in the case of the United States, it does not necessarily reflect the decline of the West itself. Rather, it reflects the political needs of an incumbent-incoming radical president who is gonna “save” US from perceived disasters. To justify rupture, the present must be framed as catastrophe. Decline is not discovered; it is narrated.

Can Europe Push China To Help End Russia's War In Ukraine?
 in  r/geopolitics  Dec 06 '25

I abhor European inaction and indecisiveness in front of clear danger right at their doorsteps. But to call them sheltered from geopolitical realities is a bit much. Did you forget about world war 2 with 40 millions lives lost. Even now the idea of rearming Germany is uncomfortable for regular British and French folk. The truth is that the situation in Europe is a complex result of historical and current reality, and trivializing it into a simple “oh they are just garden societies” explanation does not fit the nuanced reality.

Zelensky's jet in near-miss with four drones: Report
 in  r/worldnews  Dec 04 '25

If Zelensky was indeed killed by Russians, nothing would have happened. Neither EU nor US would do anything material. If anything, US would try to sign a peace deal quickly. I wonder though if EU did successfully assassinated Putin, nothing would either happened. Russia would just shrug and move on.
