AGW: Thawing Tundra Is Fanning the Flames of Russia’s Historical Paranoia

One reason for Russia’s invading Ukraine is that they want to block the invasion route provided by the European Plain that has been used before to invade Russia from the west. There are other geopolitical reasons for Russia doing this, but this one does the most to assuage Russian paranoia about invasions. 

[Note: Even paranoids can have real enemies. In this case, it is global warming, which will eventually turn tundra into temperate farmland which, in turn, will attract massive numbers of climate change refugees. Hence, the fear of yet more invasions that will use various historical invasion routes from the west, south and east. Securing Ukraine will help block at least one such invasion gateway.]

“In the past 500 years, Russia has been invaded several times from the west. The Poles came across the European Plain in 1605, followed by the Swedes under Charles XII in 1707, the French under Napoleon in 1812, and the Germans—twice, in both world wars, in 1914 and 1941. In Poland, the plain is only 300 miles wide—from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Carpathian Mountains in the south—but after that point it stretches to a width of about 2,000 miles near the Russian border, and from there, it offers a flat route straight to Moscow. Thus Russia’s repeated attempts to occupy Poland throughout history; the country represents a relatively narrow corridor into which Russia could drive its armed forces to block an enemy advance toward its own border, which, being wider, is much harder to defend.”

History: How Americans Created and Maintained the Global Order After World War II Thru Globalization

 “How ‘Bretton Woods Conference’ led to winning the Cold War (very short but powerful video)”

https://youtu.be/seKkczyEYvk

‘Bretton Woods’ provided global security for all the maritime and industrial powers, enabling all of them to access any resource anywhere at anytime safely, and then export finished goods anywhere. Bretton Woods puts all the world’s competing naval / maritime / trading powers on the same side by providing them with everything they had ever fought to attain. In exchange the Americans only demanded one thing: alliance against the Soviets.

Note: It made ‘traditional imperialism’ archaic for Bretton Wood members. Russia was not a member — and she still thinks in 19th century imperialistic terms, judging from her aggressive expansionism.

[If you want a balanced geopolitical view of what’s going on in the world, start by listening to Peter Zeihan and/or the Caspian Report. But first, I suggest you watch the following video entitled “History of the Major Trade Routes”:
