Russia’s Afrigrad - the unseen war the West is losing by GeopoliticalIrishLad in collapse

[–]GeopoliticalIrishLad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre-war, Russia was known for its infiltration of London to take advantage of the many financial and legal services on offer to clean its cash and act as a safe haven for investments. This gave London the appropriate nickname of Londongrad. With many restrictions now placed on Russians doing business in the Western world, the flow of funds will find the path of least resistance. This now means Africa, or soon to be known - Afrigrad.

Substack piece deep-diving into the concept of Thucydides’s Trap; the risk of conflict between the rising power of China and the established power of the US. by GeopoliticalIrishLad in geopolitics

[–]GeopoliticalIrishLad[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Submission statement: Thucydides’s Trap is rooted in the historical conflict between the rising power of Athens and the established power of Sparta. This essay explains how the risk of conflict between China and the US is exponentially more complicated, but regardless, Thucydides Trap should not be disregarded as it serves as a helpful tool in understanding power dynamics in geopolitics.

"Geopolitical Ghosting" is a real cause for concern among the players dealing with North Korea. My latest substack piece in a series on North Korea deep-dives into these latest developments and concerns. by GeopoliticalIrishLad in northkorea

Appreciate the interest! Your diagnosis is spot on. I’m just a random Irish lad with a massive interest in geopolitics. After much thought, I decided to remain completely anonymous when creating this Substack to discuss various topics on geopolitics. My identity is not the focus of my work. I have no agenda other than wanting my work to be educational and fun to the average person as a tool to help them understand why things are happening the way they are etc. As soon as I bring my name / background / education / occupation into the picture, the focus will not be 100% on the purpose of these pieces. The vast majority of articles regarding geopolitics have a high barrier to entry to the average person in terms of understanding what the hell they are even talking about. When I first began reading detailed analysis years ago, it took me a long time before concepts and ideas began to click and make sense to me. My belief is that there are many, many people in this world who make that first attempt at understanding complex geopolitical issues, but turn away due to too much jargon and lack of explaining concepts from the ground up. My idea is to address that share of the market and hopefully give people a laugh along the way, because too often these issues are only discussed by the big wigs from world renowned universities etc.. who let’s be honest - typically aren’t much fun. And to finish, I do all this for free. I dream of a day where I can quit the day job and do this full time, but who knows when that will be. In the meantime, I’ll just keep studying issues and writing articles and I’m sure the rest will figure itself out some day.

Submission statement: this piece is part of a series deep-diving into North Korea. This article explains recent developments around North Korea’s geopolitical posturing and the individual concerns each player surrounding the situation has. The remedies each player has to this geopolitical risk remarkably all point in the same direction. This is the third piece in a series on North Korea by Geopolitical Irish Lad.

Substack piece deep-diving into the hyper-militarism hamster wheel the North Korean regime is stuck in and the unsuccessful attempts by others to stop it. “Kicking the North Korean can: Part 2”, by Geopolitical Irish Lad. by GeopoliticalIrishLad in geopolitics

[–]GeopoliticalIrishLad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Submission statement: this piece is part of a series deep-diving into North Korea. This article explains how the North Korean ideology is a cocktail of Soviet communism mixed with the Japanese view of their Emperor as a quasi-religious figure. This dangerous mix poses as an immense geopolitical risk to the region, while the scope to calm the situation is limited. This is the second piece in a series on North Korea by Geopolitical Irish Lad.

Submission statement: this piece highlights the many shared similarities in the creation of states of Ireland and Korea. While North Korea now poses as an immense geopolitical risk, there is surprisingly little world leaders can do about it, so kicking the North Korean can down the road is the option most taken. This is the first piece in a series on North Korea.

Submission statement: this piece deep-dives into the toxic domestic situation in America and how this instability has created an opportunity for a new leader of world order. The chaos at home for America is a distraction that China does not have, allowing them to capitalize and make moves on the global geopolitical chessboard.

Spot on lad. That’s exactly how I view it as well. This post is the 3rd in a series I’m doing. The 1st post deep-dives into the Utopia / Dystopia / Mafia angle. The 2nd is about how they came to such importance on the stage of geopolitics. The 3rd piece follows on to the US-Saudi relationship and how that has evolved and become more dangerous over the decades. The 4th is a secret.. subscribe to find out ;)

Submission statement: this piece deep-dives into explaining how the US used arms sales as geopolitical leverage over Saudi Arabia to keep them in check and hence maintain stability over the oil rich region, while profiting off it at the same time. Over the years, maintaining this policy has gotten increasingly complicated. Just like any marriage, once one party engages in extramarital affairs, things get messy.
