    The Geographer Mackinder and later Spykman describes this region as the Rimland that surrounds the Russian Heartland
    Britain is mercifully in the outer Maritime crescent.
    Petr Pavel Czech President seems to have started a COLLECTIVE SECURITY agreement that incorporates all the countries from Norway to Ukraine ....the Arctic to the Black Sea ...Scandanavia + Eastern Europe ..a new power bloc ?

He hasn't got far with his war in Ukraine just yet but has already shown the USA to be be the weak-link, unreliable and without credibility to continue as a leader of the free-world: One of his goals almost completely achieved. Xi is probably watching closely and rubbing his hands in glee while signing off the next invasion plans which are going to seriously hurt America economically and potentially in terms of American sons' blood.

    The book is very important in showing the differing stages of World War I. I think Professor Loyd might have concentrated more on how many Central and European leaders saw the war as giving them a great opportunity giving the fighting meaning. Poland after all rose from the ashes and endured even the later cataclysms, The Baltic peoples established states in which their national cultures arose and could not be erased by the Soviets. Ukrainians came out of the war striving to set up a national state across the old borders and Moscow agreed to the Soviet formation as a reaction to Ukrainian resistance to Bolshevik rule.

    Young James seems to be taking a stance of a semi-expert and a book critic as well. He lacks the academic stature to be both but is fed by the material Times Radio chooses to churn out.
    Maybe when he is appropriately qualified he may take such a stance but would certainly not be working for TR.
    If his ambitions are in journalism then better research is a skill he will need and, again, TR is not good soil in which to thrive. As he is personable and articulate perhaps a spell in on-the-spot research and reporting will put him in the same category of some of Britain's great, solid journalists, especially as the greats have passed away or are now very old. Good luck to him.
    Re the click bait title, Dr Lloyd's work or comments here are congruent with it.
    Some of Dr Lloyd's ideas in his many books and papers are thought provoking and he is largely correct the eastern front in WW1 being an area of ignorance for too many of us in 'the west'.
    He is right that war did not end suddenly in 1918. My own grandfather had been in Flanders and expected to go home after the armistice but was instead sent, as part of a mix of Scottish and English regiments to the Balkans, middle east and Caucasus in un-sung continuations of strife partly related to what became known as the civil war in Russia after Lenin took power. Brits and Commonwealth experienced men were needed to be buffers against 'warlords' filling power gaps and resuming old scores lasting from over a century before. Dr Lloyd can wake us all up to what happened and how the Sykes-Picot Agreement cost the world the chance of having a possibly settled Arabia with the breaking up of the Ottoman empire. My grandfather ended his service being posted to Egypt alongside French counterparts at Suez not long after TE Lawrence had started to make his way home via Syria. The joint troops were then moved to Trieste where they got bored and went home via a badly mauled Italy.
    These aspects of the WW1 period and beyond need airing.
    However, Dr Lloyd is at least as simplistic as V Putin (from after 22 minutes in) by failing to mention the Decemberists, the 1905 damp squib Russian revolution and how a 'Tsarist mentality' was an probably is how the peoples of a conjoined massive area which was only an empire when that word was fashionable through the 19th century and beyond.
    The Bolsheviks did not win anything, merely replacing a royal line with a bureaucratic one but, to a Russian "comrade" from Vladivostok to Odesa the Tsar concept is convenient as someone to blame yet have powers to mobilize when Mother Russia is threatened.
    Religion was supposedly banned under Marxian doctrine yet people still attended churches or improvised ones in some cases, then after Stalin when the CP was supposedly in charge, to the people it was just somebody (occasionally in pairs) in Moscow.
    Dr Lloyd would have had to acknowledge that Russia since about 2010 has been expanding production east and not vying with China but being part of the Eurasian market developing into the biggest ever seen, including India, South East Asia after recovery from US failures and horrors in Cambodia to a point which has made the 'west' just another economic zone but no longer the top one. Russia's immense resources and transport system do not just make a part of China's initial notion of the BRI but essential to new 'silk roads' and it has the Arctic routes as well doing very nicely with input from Japan and China calling itself a "near Arctic state".
    The 20th century model 'west' with its "rules based order" of trading (= restrictive) has to accept that true free trade is happening and it is crossing Africa and to South America. The term "global south" is clumsy but means south and east and west, just not necessarily the USA.
    In this context it is explicable why Russia's central and eastern populations are rising and a large proportion of incomers are from over Russia's southern borders.
    If the USA, EU and our dear UK want to prosper in proportion to all in their populations they need to understand how trade is the antithesis of war, where traders do not expect everyone to be the same in faiths, governance styles and cultures.
    Yes, be able to defend ones people but huge military mechanisms used for "projection" are so passé and the biggest never had the right to interfere and make up wars to fight, losing every single one.
    Ukrainians will thrive through hard work alongside neighbours without undercutting but the areas and types of governance regions on the map by next Easter could be surprising. No more weapons but help with rebuilding, each state according to its means.

    Don't like the way he characterises the 'creation' of Ukraine by some kind of treaty. Kiev and different groups round about have always fought for their independence, mostly from Russia but Bolsheviks, the Whites, the French, the Poles and anarchists have all had a go at dominating the area. The Ukrainian spirit is remarkable for its tenacity and persistence and at very least Ukraine needs to be allowed some peace and non interference, especially from its northern neighbours.

    British are always obsessed with speaking about other's failures and rarely looks to reflect and articulate clearly and confidently what it has done wrong. Obsessed with learning lessons and never learning them or learning them and then forgetting to make a concrete conclusion so as to have a blueprint for the future. Nations and their people are generally not good at this.Look in the mirror and stop judging other people and nations. But at the same time, it's always curious how they are obsessed with Russia and orientalism in general, actually same as the French. It's quite funny because Russia hates the west especially Great Britain and USA, the "Axis of Anglo-Saxons", but the British, French and German will always have a love affair with Russia.
