Nima recently did a session with Alex Krainer in which Alex started by outlining the Mackinder thesis. I think it ties in nicely to Mr Patrushev's interview. It also fits nicely with the recent colour revolution in Bangladesh and ongoing 3 letter agency efforts in Myanmar and Thailand. It's the second time I've seen him on Dialogue Works; he has an interesting perspective IMO.
Once again - a new emphasis on a infrequently discussed subject - and judging by Patrushev's new appointment, VPP is well aware that an overall restructure is needed
This time ship building and especially the Arctic and the Arctic Northern Sea route
Stimulated by increased NATO incursions into Norway and Finland - and signs the US is finally trying to address their shipbuilding weakness and lack of ice breakers
At a time when the NATO ites are crowing that Ukraine is absorbing all of RF defence capabilities, thus weakening the Northern Fleet and land defences against NATO's Northern/Arctic allies
Also - to manage China and India interest in the Arctic NSR route
Increasing collaboration with Allies on crucial matters of national interest and security
Thanks for the Haushofer link.
