Geopolitical and geoeconomic shocks reprice sovereign credit risk through different transmission channels. Using a daily panel of 42 advanced and emerging economies over 2018--2025, we show that geopolitical shocks raise sovereign CDS spreads primarily through direct sovereign repricing, while the Global Financial Cycle (GFC) channel moves in the opposite direction and partly offsets that increase -- a ``scissors pattern.'' Geoeconomic shocks, by contrast, transmit mainly through financial conditions, policy uncertainty, and domestic amplification, with only a limited direct repricing component. A semistructural framework provides sign benchmarks for four transmission channels, and a Shapley--Taylor decomposition of nonlinear machine-learning predictions partitions each observation's spread into Direct, GFC, Uncertainty, and Local components. Narrative local projections around four dated crisis events recover the scissors pattern for Russia--Ukraine and support the broader channel taxonomy in the remaining episodes. Additional scorecard, placebo, and sign-restricted SVAR evidence corroborates the taxonomy beyond the baseline ML decomposition. Geopolitical direct effects decay with distance from the conflict zone in a gravity-style pattern (R2 = 0.35 for Russia--Ukraine), while policy-uncertainty shocks activate the Uncertainty channel more globally. The taxonomy implies that liquidity provision can mitigate GFC-driven spread widening, but not direct geopolitical sovereign repricing.
