yes it is. you learn how the world works. what gets exported from where. where the refugees come from and to, and why. what conflicts there are, where, and why.

Sounds pretty violent. I hear about refugees pretty well without it, personally. As an analogy, not everyone needs to be a meteorologist to know the weather.

yes, you dont need to know about the history of the weather and why it happens to understand that it will be raining tomorrow. But, i think it's kinda relevant to know how and why to understand what side of a conflict to support.

geography also helps you understand the claims politicians make and to see if they're bs

The actual physical location, which side of an imaginary line a person was born on, should absolutely mean fuck all when deciding who to side with.

Only what each side intends to do and is capable of doing, to minimize all possible harm and loss.

that's... what I said? geography helps you understand what each side intends to do and is capable of doing.

geography ≠ topography

because your many years of experience with the subject geography have taught you that geography is topography?

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Your statement that a countries militaristic capability is based on or influenced by what they named their region is stupid.

[-] teije9@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 week ago

that's... not what I said?????? geography teaches you the military strengths of a country, not the name of the country. all of your 'arguments' are based on you saying that geography is topography.

topography=names of countries and regions

geography=global politics, global economy, how the earth formed and works, how global markets work. etc.

"How many tanks do we have?"

"I'll get our top geographer to send us an estimate right away, sir."
