Sir Halford J. Mackinder: “Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland, who rules the Heartland commands the World-island; and who rules the World-Island commands the World.”
Excerpts from the article:
"Russia’s invasive ambitions are not limited to Ukraine, but stretch as far as those are tolerated by the world."
"For russia's neighbours, Mackinder’s warning is not some academic theory of outdated British geostrategy, but a very real and centuries-long struggle that is full of horrors. ... [He] was concerned with the perpetual threat from the Heartland organized solely or by an alliance of powers."
"For the world’s freedom, Ukraine has become its land line of defense in Europe."
"The longer Russia remains undefeated, the higher the chance that these simmering regional wars will spiral into a new and disastrous global conflict."
