About Global Sitrep
Geography explains power.
Global Sitrep is a maps-led site focused on the geographic and physical constraints that shape international politics, security, and strategy.
Much commentary on geopolitics concentrates on ideology, personalities, or short-term events. Global Sitrep starts from a simpler premise: states act within physical limits — distance, terrain, access, population, and logistics. These factors change slowly, but they exert a decisive influence over what is possible.
Our Approach
Maps are not used here as illustrations.
They are the starting point.
Each map isolates a specific strategic reality — a chokepoint, an alliance boundary, an access route, or a geographic constraint. Written analysis exists to explain what the map shows, not to replace it.
The emphasis is on:
- —Clarity rather than volume
- —Structure rather than speculation
- —Long-term constraints rather than daily headlines
How the Site Is Structured
Maps
The core of the site. Maps are treated as reference material — geographic facts that can be revisited as events unfold.
