Mackinders World

To fully understand international relations and geopolitics you need to as always go back in history. This man pictured is key in understanding the importance for the domination of Eurasia .

I have mentioned this key factor before and in the map you will note the pivot area and with that both of the crescent lines.

By following Mackinders Theory it will become clearer in seeing how important this area of the world is for control of the world.

Now once you have grasped this and its understanding then now look at US foreign policy and it should then all make sense.

Now you should see that perhaps questions need to be raised such as "is there really a war on terrorism"?
