User:Conservative]: You used a source on these major Portal pages: Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, John Maynard Keynes and Evolution (The costly return of geopolitics, Jun 27, 2023). His latest, Lord Robert Skidelsky: Pax-Americana is Over, seems to directly contradict your Essay: The United States will be the leading power in the world for the foreseeable future, who declares it has ended. To avoid the confusion you have created on the part of our readers between your ideas and Skildelsky, why don't you properly qualify the source by creating the Robert Skildelsky article?

Origin of geo-politics
The origin of the concept of "geo-politics" or "political geography" was born in relation to the territories of Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and the Caucuses, or the Intermarium. Also ancient Scythia. Anyone who doesn't understand the political geography of these territories going back to ancient times and claims knowledge or expertise in the field of "geopolitics" is a fraud.

The wide-open steppe of the borderlands between Europe and Asia, East and West, Orthodox, Catholic and Muslim, Slav, German, Turk and others, with its lack of mountainous terrain to serve as natural boundaries between groups with linguistic, cultural, religious and traditional background differences is how the term or study of "geopolitics" came into existence. "Geopolitics" is a 19th & 20th century invention to study the intersection of the Occident & Orient, with its sordid history of conflict over many millennia.
It is only by study and interaction between these peoples in an effort to understand each other better that racial, ethnic, and military conflict can be reduced (A notorious racist Senior Conservapedia Admin consistently and disparagingly refers to these efforts at better understanding to avoid violent conflict as "falling in love" with different societies who may be at different points in their social and economic development from Western societies).
