"Continued to evolve his theory" or "kept moving the goalposts"? Tomato, to-mah-to. The fragility of Mackinder's theory is underlined by the number of times he had to redefine even its most basic terms to salvage his idee fixe.

I just found this old video, but it makes sense regarding Ukraine, The heartland needs to control east of Europe in order to avoid to be controlled.

The Heartland Theory was perfectly valid.
If pre-WW1 united with common goals, and convinced a few weaker nations (like the Ottoman Empire) to sign up, they could have swarmed all over the world starting with Persia/ME (incl. the Suez Canal), and there would have been little "naval powers" like GB or the USA could have done about it.
It was *nukes in combination with very long range strategic bombers* (B-29) which made it obsolete in 1945.

Hi, really well explained. One question about a statement which you made at the end about Rimland that it can out maneuver heartland from the oceans.

How could Rimland do it when the basic definition of heartland says that it has no access to oceans?

Something i don't understand about this theory is that the russian empire and the USSR had control of the heartland yet they were not controlling the world island were they? Dosent it make the theory unvalid?

Heartland Theory makes a good observation of the power balance across the world. However, the Heartland, though self-sustaining split up into a number of republics.

1914 was the time for a Russian-German alliance. In fact 1878 was already a golden opportunity missed. Germany needed a space to expand and Russia needed the German technology and development. How the Rimland machinations succeeded in bleeding them both out in futile wars fought in the interest of the Rimland 🙄 is beyond me 🤷‍♂
