BRZEZINSKI, HITLER, MACKINDER AND GEOPOLITICS
Dear Emperor's New Clothes,
Is the move in Central Asia about Oil? No, it's about POWER. And I don't mean "power" as in "energy".
It's about how you become and remain the world's Dominant Power, and what you have to do to maintain/achieve it - like taking over strategic areas of the world.
Z.B. (Zbigniew Brzezinski) and his chums come with a theory and ideology to carry it out as well, which is why they behave like a high priestly order.
We, the Good 'Ole Brits invented it, when we were desperately trying to maintain the position of the British Empire as No. 1 Dominant Power.
"He who dominates East Europe controls the Heartland, (the pivotal part of Eurasia.) He who controls the Heartland controls the World Island, (Eurasia.) He who controls the World Island controls the World".
This is the mantra of the theory of Geopolitics, the theory of Sir Halford MacKinder, (he was a Brit and guru of these people).
In a slightly earlier era, it was called "The Great Game", and British commentators have said immediately, about The current intervention, "It's the Great Game".
I suggest - sorry about this one - a few articles explaining Geopolitics and how it's the great master plan and ideology of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) the heart of the National Security Establishment.
But how did it turn up in America, - it got taken there by Brits trying to involve America in supporting them, and became the watchword of the CFR after 1943-44 and US. foreign policy since the war.

A handy history for those wondering how the heck we got to where we are today, at the verge of depopulating a good chunk of the world for the worthies tied to Carlyle Group's sake.
