I'm a recent reddit refugee, and an active geopol lurker on the site that shall not be named. I'd love to see this verse stick to macro gepol strategies, analysis, and realpolitik speculation.

I agree. While there will always be other places which my be "better" to talk about a specific subject, those specialized areas tend to lose a lot of perspective. They get trapped in one of the social media echo chambers that naturally form in such communities, the dialog is highly reactionary and colored by emotion, they are easily swayed by politician's daily talking points, and they focus on individuals.
To me, /v/geopolitics is a place where you can take a step back, look at things from a higher and more rational level, and also extend our timeline out to consider the long term maco affects of whatever is going on and how that shapes our world order.

Recent convert here. In full agreement, provided those gepol strategies, analysis, and realpolitik speculation are not limited to only the big 6 media established narratives, and confined within that limited discussion sphere through thread and commentary deletion by anyone acting in a moderator capacity.

Welcome! Thanks for the input, as I surely could use it. I created this verse just to make sure it wasn't squatted. I find this to be a fascinated subject, and what you have shared, seems like a good idea. Going to add it to the sidebar just so people can begin to get a feel.
I try to keep content flowing, but with work and a business to run, finding time to read and post is difficult. When this place becomes big enough, we will be needing more mods. =D

Yeah, I'm going to try and see about starting to populate with content in my preciously rare spare time.
