r/geopolitics is a subreddit with 775k members. The most common kinds of discussions are news and pain & anger, and the community frequently discusses us, iran, trump, russia, and military, and they frequently recommend/review news sources.
Geopolitics is focused on the relationship between politics and territory. Through geopolitics we attempt to analyze and predict the actions and decisions of nations, or other forms of political power, by means of their geographical characteristics and location in the world.
In a broader sense, geopolitics studies the general relations between countries on a global scale. Here we analyze local events in terms of the bigger, global picture.
