CountFosco posted:I honestly think that Kissinger genuinely believes in Mackinder's "world island" theory of geopolitics, and that a Russian-Chinese alliance would command the "heartland" and thus command the "world island." Such geographical determinism is utter nonsense, of course, but it's a nonsense that's shaped diplomacy for more than a hundred years now. CountFosco posted:If you think that Mackinder has no real influence on American foreign policy, consider the way that Zbigniew Brzezinski's "The Grand Chessboard" is summarized: "Regarding the landmass of Eurasia as the center of global power, Brzezinski sets out to formulate a Eurasian geostrategy for the United States. In particular, he writes, it is imperative that no Eurasian challenger should emerge capable of dominating Eurasia and thus also of challenging America's global pre-eminence." being an international relations person must be so much fun you get to make up crazy and ridiculous stories all day and people will believe they're real
