Ein Schlüsselstaat EurasiensEin Standpunkt von Uwe Froschauer.Geht es den USA im Konflikt mit dem Iran wirklich um Menschenrechte, Demokratie oder die angebliche Gefahr iranischer Atomwaffen? Oder verbirgt sich hinter der moralischen Rhetorik ein wesentlich nüchterneres strategisches Kalkül?Ein Blick auf die geopolitische Landkarte legt eine andere Interpretation nahe. Der Iran liegt an einer der wichtigsten Schnittstellen Eurasiens – zwischen den Energiezentren des Nahen Ostens, den Rohstoffregionen Zentralasiens und den aufstrebenden Wirtschaftsmächten Asiens. Wer diesen Raum kontrolliert oder politisch schwächt, beeinflusst zugleich die Entwicklung eines ganzen Kontinents. Genau deshalb steht der Iran seit Jahrzehnten im Fokus US-amerikanischer Machtpolitik. Nicht Menschenrechte oder Atomprogramme bilden den eigentlichen Kern des Konflikts, sondern die strategische Rolle des Landes als geopolitischer Schlüsselstaat auf dem eurasischen Schachbrett.Das Zusammenwachsen Eurasiens versuchen die USA zur Erhaltung einer unipolaren, von ihnen gesteuerten Weltordnung mit allen denkbaren Mitteln zu verhindern.Halford Mackinder und Zbigniew BrzezinskiIn geopolitischen Analysen gilt der eurasische Kontinent seit über einem Jahrhundert als das strategische Zentrum der Weltpolitik. Bereits der britische Geograf Halford Mackinder formulierte Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts die berühmte „Heartland-Theorie“. Seine zentrale These lautete, dass die Kontrolle über die große Landmasse Eurasiens – insbesondere über die inneren Regionen zwischen Osteuropa und Zentralasien – einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf die globale Machtverteilung haben könne. Wer diese zentrale Landmasse kontrolliere, so Mackinder, könne langfristig eine dominierende Stellung in der Weltpolitik erlangen.Mackinder fasste seine Überlegungen 1904 in einem oft zitierten geopolitischen Leitsatz zusammen:„Wer Osteuropa beherrscht, kontrolliert das Heartland; wer das Heartland beherrscht, kontrolliert die Weltinsel; wer die Weltinsel beherrscht, kontrolliert die Welt.“Mit der „Weltinsel“ meinte Mackinder die zusammenhängende Landmasse aus Europa, Asien und Afrika – also den mit Abstand größten geopolitischen Raum der Erde. Auf dieser sogenannten Weltinsel leben heute rund 85 Prozent der Weltbevölkerung, hier befinden sich der Großteil der landwirtschaftlichen Produktionsflächen, ein erheblicher Teil der industriellen Kapazitäten sowie die wichtigsten Energie- und Rohstoffreserven der Welt. Eurasien allein umfasst rund 36 Prozent der globalen Landfläche, beherbergt jedoch etwa 70 bis 75 Prozent der Weltbevölkerung und erwirtschaftet mehr als 60 Prozent des weltweiten Bruttoinlandsprodukts.Aus Mackinders Sicht lag der entscheidende Vorteil des Heartlands darin, dass es im Gegensatz zu den klassischen Seemächten kaum durch Flotten blockiert werden konnte. Wer diese riesige, ressourcenreiche Landmasse kontrollierte und durch Eisenbahnen und später moderne Infrastruktur miteinander verband, hätte langfristig einen strukturellen Machtvorteil gegenüber maritimen Imperien.Diese Überlegungen beeinflussten über Jahrzehnte strategisches Denken im Westen. Besonders deutlich griff der US-amerikanische Sicherheitsberater Zbigniew Brzezinski diese Logik nach dem Ende des Kalten Krieges wieder auf. In seinem 1997 erschienenen Buch "The Grand Chessboard" bezeichnete er Eurasien als das „geopolitische Schachbrett“, auf dem sich die Zukunft der globalen Machtverhältnisse entscheidet....https://apolut.net/iran-der-wahre-kriegsgrund-der-usa-von-uwe-froschauer/ Hosted on Acast.

In this special episode of The More Freedom Foundation Podcast, host Rob Morris welcomes back Sean McFadden for a wide-ranging and provocative discussion that begins with Afghanistan—and what it reveals about the failures of modern geopolitical thinking.Using Afghanistan as a real-world case study, they explore how outdated theories from figures like Halford Mackinder continue to be treated as authoritative despite being repeatedly disproven by history. The conversation expands to examine what the British Empire misunderstood, what the United States is getting wrong today, and how the European Union continues to operate under flawed strategic assumptions.This episode challenges long-held orthodoxies and asks why discredited ideas still shape policy—and what the cost is when history's lessons are ignored.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok

Why does nationalism look less like a mistake and more like a structural feature of modern capitalism? In this provocative and deeply researched episode, Professor Zlatko Hadžidedić explains why nationalism often functions as the social glue that stabilizes capitalism's contradictions and why the current phase of hyper-capitalism risks producing more authoritarian nationalisms over the next decades. Using Bosnia (the Lisbon maps and Dayton aftermath), the Balkans, and contemporary flashpoints as case studies, Zlatko connects theory to concrete history: how imperial legacies, external power strategies, and the logic of the military-industrial complex help produce recurring conflict. He also shows how consumer tech, information flows, and media narratives help pacify populations while power consolidates.   He explains: ⬛ Why nationalism can be a structural necessity for capitalism ⬛ How “hyper-capitalism” creates conditions for authoritarian nationalism ⬛ The Lisbon maps & Bosnia case study — why partition was engineered and what it means today ⬛ How information, phones and consumer culture shape political consent ⬛ Why great-power strategies sometimes manufacture zones of instability ⬛ What citizens and leaders can do to cultivate nuance, media literacy, and democratic resilience   ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction: Capitalism, Nationhood & the Big Question 03:10 - Thesis: “No Capitalism Without Nationalism” — the argument explained 08:45 - The Lisbon maps & Bosnia: how partition was made possible 13:30 - From Yugoslavia to the Balkans: external influence and local politics 18:20 - Imperial legacies, Mackinder & geopolitical strategy 22:45 - Hyper-capitalism defined: inequality, pacification, and authoritarian pressures 27:50 - Phones, streaming & control: the tech-consumer pact 32:40 - Gaza, Ukraine & manufactured instability — strategic utility of conflict 37:55 - Predictions: the next 20–30 years of nationalism and power 42:10 - Practical takeaways: media literacy, nuance, and democratic repair 46:00 - Closing reflections & recommended reading   This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in political economy, history, geopolitics, and media, especially listeners who want frameworks that connect the dots between capitalism, nationalism, and contemporary conflict.

Nous sommes le lundi 25 janvier 1904, à Londres, au siège de la Royal Geographical Society. Le froid est glacial. Ce soir-là, Halford John Mackinder, professeur à l'Université d'Oxford et à la School of Economics, donne une conférence devant un parterre d'individus qui, comme lui, ont une conception impérialiste de la géographie. Il s'agit de mieux connaître le monde pour pouvoir s'en rendre maître. Mackinder déclare : « L'aube du XXe siècle marque la fin d'une grande époque historique […]. Le monde, dans ses frontières les plus reculées, a à peine été révélé qu'il nous faut faire la chronique de son appropriation politique pratiquement complète. En Europe, en Amérique du Nord, en Amérique du Sud, en Afrique et en Australasie, il ne reste guère de région où l'on puisse revendiquer un droit de propriété […]. On peut opposer à grands traits l'époque colombienne à celle qui l'a précédée en faisant de l'expansion de l'Europe, sans résistances notables, sa caractéristique centrale […]. À compter d'aujourd'hui, dans l'ère post- colombienne, nous aurons de nouveau affaire à un système politique fermé, mais d'envergure mondiale. Chaque explosion de forces sociales, au lieu de se dissiper dans le chaos barbare de son environnement, sera vivement répercutée de l'autre côté du globe et les maillons faibles de l'organisme politique et économique mondial seront en conséquence brisés ». Dans cette conférence, Mackinder souligne que nombre des événements qui vont façonner le XXe siècle sont déjà à l'œuvre. En quoi l'année 1904 est-elle un observatoire privilégié ?
