The MacKosher Thesis: Why Focus on British Ancient History? part 4

Is this obsession by elements of the extreme right helpful in explaining the war in Ukraine? Why talk about the Anglo-American Empire, is this just the old hate of Woodrow Wilson? Why talk about Eurasia, is this just a fixation on the predictive qualities of a fictional account, Orwell's 1984? Does anyone really think the 'Stans are the key to controlling the world today? Why focus on some feared alliance between Germany and Russia, when it's a Russian alliance with China that would create a clearly greater threat to American power (and not because of Russia)? Does anyone really think the neocons are primarily concerned about Putin gaining control of the Heartland, or even the geostrategic consequences of a German-Russian economic alliance? Or is anything linking Germans and Russians today a fear arising out of historical ethnic conflicts?

A few minutes of verbal riffing between Tim Kelly and E. Michael Jones surrounding the 1904 MacKinder thesis and the 1930s rise of Germany has me thinking - and lecturing (sorry) - on the problem with pulling traditional alternative ideas off the shelf and applying them where they really don't belong - and where I think these guys know they don't belong.
