That’s why there can be no losing for the West in Ukraine. To the Mackinderists at the top of the power structures in London, Washington D.C. and Brussels, losing Ukraine means losing the entire world, because they have this very-outdated view of world geography.

Hitler was not able to conquer Russia. This was mainly because Hitler foolishly declared war on the powerful US. Now, Hitler had to face the US in the west and Russia in the east. The mighty US industrial base was able to supply Russia with material. The West wants countries to be democratic but doesn't invade countries to force it. Britain and France let Hitler conquer Czechoslovakia and Poland. Conquering Czechoslovakia gave Germany control of the famous arms manufacturer Skoda. It also enabled Hitler to find military recruits from those countries.

Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Vietnam and Iraq would like a word. And that does not even count the many countries where the US funded coups.

Unlike these countries, Ukraine has been invaded by another country and the US is not providing troops.
