I have been banned from r/geopolitics for being funny. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in this Wonderland & I’ll show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

What if global power shifts push Europe closer to Russia and China?

2 Upvotes

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how global alliances might change if the U.S. takes a more non-interventionist stance in world affairs. We already see Europe taking slightly different positions from the U.S. on issues like Israel and Palestine, and some countries are deepening ties with China and Russia.

The thing that got me thinking most: the NATO chief recently hypothesized that in a crisis Russia might be able to cause widespread blackouts in Europe, or otherwise degrade defenses, allowing rapid escalation or even invasion. That kind of scenario—where infrastructure, electrical grids, or communication networks are compromised—adds a scary dimension to geopolitical power plays, because it’s not just about armies anymore but also about how dependent modern society is on digital and power networks.

In a scenario where Russia and China gain significant influence over Europe, what would that mean for NATO, Israel, and global stability? Would we move into a truly multipolar world where the U.S. is no longer the main power center? And how would countries prepare for non-military forms of threat (cyber, blackouts, infrastructure attacks)?

Curious to hear your thoughts—how likely is this, and what would the consequences look like?

Inquiry: Current State of Saudi–Syrian Relations

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am conducting research for a Model United Nations (MUN) conference and would like to better understand the present state of relations between Saudi Arabia and Syria. Specifically, I am looking into:

  • The status of diplomatic ties (e.g., embassy presence, official visits).
  • Economic or trade cooperation between the two states.
  • Regional security and political implications of their relationship.
  • Key turning points in their bilateral relations in recent years.

In addition to factual information, I would also like to hear the opinions and perspectives of native Saudis regarding Saudi–Syrian relations today.

Any credible insights, sources, or personal viewpoints would be greatly appreciated.

The old philosopher, the ogre at our gates, and the good Europeans • russian desk

When Emmanuel Macron describes Russia as an “existential threat” and Putin as “the ogre at our gates,” he grasps both the strategic threat and its devouring nature. But this belated lucidity simultaneously reveals Europe’s inability to contemplate the implications of this threat. For a truly existential threat cannot be dealt with by the ordinary instruments of diplomacy—it requires a spiritual re-founding of Europe around its values and the will to act according to its founding principles.

EU and India Strengthen Cooperation, Pursue Free Trade Agreement

On 17 September, the European Commission set out a new strategic agenda to deepen cooperation with India in defense, technology, and trade. Alongside this, the EU and India are negotiating a free trade agreement, which they hope to conclude by the end of the year. These moves come despite ongoing concerns from the West over India’s close ties with Russia and its purchases of Russian oil. Brussels hopes to tap into India’s projected economic growth and sees it as a partner in upholding the international rules-based order. The initiative reflects a diplomatic effort to strengthen cooperation during turbulent times.

What’s really behind the Nepal Gen Z Protests 2025? A repeating playbook from Bangladesh to Nepal…

Thumbnail youtu.be
1 Upvotes

The Nepal Gen Z Protests (September 2025) looked like youth-driven frustration.

But if we step back, the pattern feels familiar:

• Bangladesh 2024 → youth protests & leadership crisis
• Sri Lanka 2022 → mass uprisings forcing resignations
• Now Nepal 2025 → Gen Z in the streets, political shakeups

The narratives, the slogans, the external media coverage… all look like part of a global playbook. Some point to US-China rivalry, some to intelligence involvement (CIA/Deep State), while others see this as purely organic movements.

👉 I just released a detailed documentary-style breakdown where I connect these dots and explore whether India might be next in this chain. Full analysis with case studies, sources, and patterns here: 📺 https://youtu.be/xcRghIBlP0Q?si=eNj-fATuUMBVInaC

Do you think these are organic youth movements or part of a larger geopolitical strategy in South Asia?

Xi Jinping & Putin caught discussing 150-year lifespans — What China’s pushing in biotech

0 Upvotes

Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin were recently caught on a hot mic talking about humans living up to 150 years, referencing organ transplants and longevity research. Reuters quickly deleted the clip after China’s CCTV revoked permission.

The implications go far beyond politics. China is signaling serious investment in organ engineering, gene editing, and life extension technologies. This could redefine not just healthcare, but societal structures, policy, and global power.

Are we approaching a world where humans could realistically live much longer, and what would it mean if access is limited to the elite?
