Whoever controls Eastern Europe rules the heartland.
Whoever rules the heartland rules the world island.
Whoever rules the world island rules the world.
Europe, Asia, and some say Africa as well, make up the world island. It is the Eastern European approach to the heartland that rightly has Putin thinking his country is facing an existential threat. It isn’t Russia threatening NATO, but NATO threatening Russia.
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Kosovo, Serbia, Bosnia Albania Montenegro, Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic, are all Eastern Europe countries.
How many of these countries are NATO added since 1999?
It isn’t Russian aggression, at all, but NATO’s, and the Ukraine IS the final showdown.
This has been the US policy since Clinton: control and power over eastern europe, no matter the cost in innocent blood and human misery.
There will be a world war if DC and London don’t back off.
I hope and pray I am wrong, but I don’t see any of the neocon/neoliberals doing that.
“What we don’t want, for everyone’s interest, is to have this settle in a place and a way that simply invites the Russians to reset, rearm, and then attack.”
Blinken is looking for time so Ukraine can be re-armed, reset, and then attack.
As long as the fascists in DC run things you are wise to assume everything they say is a twisted lie meant to manipulate everyone involved.
I don’t think we will wake up. We are too far gone as a people and have believed most of the constant deceptions. We shall see.
I think the followers of Mackinder theory are going to get a lot of people killed.
There’s nothing wrong with the theory - whoever controls the heartland controls the world - but the people who understand it thoroughly and use it for total world domination are psychopaths. They are twisted Straussians. (Yes, they are.)
I don’t think Russia and China will allow that to happen, but the fools in DC and London don’t Understand THAT.
May you live in interesting times...the Chinese curse.
You’re right, of course - 30 plus documented facts prove beyond any doubt that you are correct. However...there are buttloads of people at FR that won’t read them.
