Abstract

A basic national interest of the United States is to prevent the domination of the Eurasian landmass—the so-called heartland—by one hostile state or group of states. This objective is important to U.S. survival because a hostile government controlling this vast region would have the resources to isolate and perhaps eventually destroy the United States.
