🌍 Three wars. Three corners of the world. Almost no one treats them as one system.
Israel–Iran. Russia–Ukraine. Taiwan.

🧭 "The Responsible Powers" — new in @TimesofIsrael co-authored by @Alon_Analysis and Dr. @RYellinek why Israel, Germany & South Korea belong in the same conversation. 🧵

Is the war between the U.S., Israel, and Iran a contained regional conflict, or one front in something much larger?

In a new piece for RealClearDefense, Dr. Gedaliah Afterman and Dr. Roie Yellinek argue it can no longer be read in isolation. Ukraine, China's Gulf calculus, Russia's intelligence-sharing with Iran, the Strait of Hormuz. The connections were always there, but they're now compounding, each pulling the others into play.

Their warning is worth sitting with: once alliances harden and theatres start to connect, tactical moves can quietly turn into strategic mistakes. Escalation outpaces any single state's ability to control it.

This is exactly why we treat geopolitics as a discipline rather than background noise. The complexity isn't something to filter out. It's the signal. Knowing how regional wars fuse into broader contests, across alliances, energy flows and chokepoints, is what separates reacting to events from actually reading them.

That's the work we do at the @Geopoliticslabo

We strongly condemns China for using political force to determine other countries’ foreign policy, interfere with the normal operations of international civil aviation—going so far as to politicize and weaponize Flight Information Regions. 1/3

China’s Global Governance Initiative isn’t joining the world order — it’s rewriting it.

My article, "Xi’s Balancing Act and the West’s India Problem," explores China’s alliances and India’s hedging. Read it on E-IR: https://t.co/aDQAQGrLAc #Geopolitics #India #China

[Roie Yellinek @RYellinek]

Why do Xi, Putin, and Kim standing together at Beijing’s Victory Day parade matter? It’s a signal of a deepening authoritarian alignment challenging the West. Pleasr read more and share your thoughts: https://t.co/sHHUreybCV #Geopolitics #China #Russia #NorthKorea

My latest for @ProspectF

Since the inauguration of @XiomaraCastroZ, the future of #Honduras -#Taiwan relations seems to be secured. However, the possibility of a Honduran recognition of #China still lies on the horizon.
