This channel was created a year ago. Thank you for being here.

As you may have noticed, I’ve recently made a few changes. Going forward, I’ll focus more on sharing analyses published by news sites rather than just re-posting news stories.

I’m also considering disabling reactions. They’re rarely used and clutter the user interface, which isn’t ideal for short posts like mine. I’ll launch a poll on this soon.

Geopolitics frequently unfolds beneath the surface, with conflicts emerging from a chain of strategic decisions that must be deciphered to be understood.

As for the rest, you can make sure to follow the signals and connect the dots by subscribing to the channel.
