Geopolitics 101 - The Geographical Pivot of History

The discipline of geopolitics has its origin in Sir Halford MacKinder's 1904 presentation to the British Geographical Society entitled, "The Geographical Pivot Of History."
This presentation for the first time considers the mountains, rivers, deserts, oceans and continents as the central mediating factors in the rise and fall of empires.
Vox recalls the lessons he received from his mentor in this discipline at Columbia University, Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski.

Brzezinski carried on this world view originally conceived by MacKinder that the central strategic landmass was the Eurasian landmass which he called "The World Island." In this World Island contained the Heartland. Three quarters of the population and resources reside on this World Island - And whoever controls the World Island controls the world.

Two forces are currently pulling the US empire apart. The old nexus of geopolitics, the Middle East is waning in its significance to the US - The new center of the imperial challenge is clearly between the US and China. And while we need to focus in this very real challenge to the balance of world power posed by China, the Zionist project and all its servants called Congressmen and Senators keep steering the US into the bloody endless quagmire of the Middle East wars which only serve Israel and the weapons manufacturers. While we waste our future and two future generations on, in pointless wars in the Middle East, the real challenge is quickly being lost by the West.
