					<description><![CDATA[What is going on in the area- is about MacKinder&#039;s theory to some extent,- It&#039;s the remake of the entire area- This is where Kurdistan comes in as the block in the region (the road block) on the Belt and Road project- Kurdistan, as a satellite of Usrael. This takes in a chunk of Iran, into Azerbaijan, Armenia- all of it- It connects the water and the land
It&#039;s the Heartland theory and Rimland
https://pennyforyourthoughts2.ca/2022/03/02/russia-ukraine-and-the-bigger-picture/
I talked about this at my former site.. in 2018

https://pennyforyourthoughts2.blogspot.com/2018/01/kurdistan-big-block-on-silk-roadrimland.html

Let&#039;s say this is the best case scenario map? Greater Kurdistan aka Israel 2.0 controlled by Usrael and allies. Stretching from the Mediterranean- (we know the Kurds, aided by Usrael, are trying to get to the Mediterranean sea) Through to the Black Sea. The shores of the Caspian. And, to the Persian Gulf.  The pot stirring in Iran (Azerbaijan)  will take them to the Caspian. Destabilizing Turkey will take the Usrael/ Kurds to the Black Sea. Breaking up Iraq to the Persian Gulf.

I&#039;d included this video back in 2018- explains Heartland and Rimland

					<description><![CDATA[It’s almost as if someone wanted to poison the relationship between Russia and Azerbaijan. Of course, the usual suspects are always there. Less than four months ago Britain appointed their first-ever Defence Attaché to Azerbaijan with the appointment of Lieutenant Commander Gavin Tarbard. In a statement shared via the UK&#039;s embassy on X, the foreign office expressed its enthusiasm about the new position:

&quot;We are delighted to announce the arrival of Lieutenant Commander Gavin Tarbard as the first British resident Defence Attaché in Azerbaijan… This historic milestone reflects the growing strength of the partnership and will enhance our defence and security cooperation.&quot;

I couldn’t explain how sending a Defence Attaché to a former Soviet republic enhances Britain’s defence and security, but the move does seem strangely consistent with Halford Mackinder’s idea of surrounding the whole Eurasian “Pivot Area,” (i.e. Russia) with an arch of crises and constantly undermining security on the continent.

It’s the vulgar, ‘divide and rule’ concept which still appears to be the best idea London can come up with. And while those who regard the continent as the “Grand Chessboard,” where they seek to prevail through dirty tricks, terrorism, color revolutions and political assassinations, the people living in those areas are suffering immeasurably.
