Unfortunately, quite a few people here believe the crap that's being passed on as "news".
Facinating stuff though, reading Geopolitics.
Love looking at all of the attributes that affect a country or a region then dissecting each piece in order to better understand its implications & then putting them back together & painting a mental picture clear enough for others to understand when chatting.
