Geopol, strategy, military, and random philosophy. Threads and shitposts.

Fintwit geopolitics: read The Economist, drop 'Sykes-Picot' in a thread, pretend you're Metternich with a Substack. Fintwit treats history like it's VAR analysis on a spreadsheet. Linear, clean, and always 1:1. No randomness, no context.
Yeap. ASEAN wasn't going to let this keep going. They're starting to mediate behind the scenes.
JUST IN: Acting PM Phumtham says Thailand is coordinating with ASEAN Chair Malaysia to push for a diplomatic solution to the escalating border conflict with Cambodia.
