00:00Why the biggest weakness of Russia is its geography?
00:03First of all, the western part of Russia is located on the plain Europe north,
00:07which makes the defense of its western border almost impossible,
00:11because there is no natural barrier against the terrorists,
00:14as it has been proven during the napoleon war and the Second World War.
00:19It is also the reason why the relations between Russia and the Occident are so tense,
00:24because it has been invaded several times by this plain by Germany, France and Poland.
00:29Secondly, even though it is a huge territory, Russia has a big problem with access to the ocean.
00:36The Arctic Ocean is almost completely empty almost every year.
00:39The only way for Russia to access the international seas is by its ports in Black Sea.
00:44But the only way to come is to go through the Bosphorus,
00:48controlled by Turkey, member of the OTAN.
00:51In addition, the port in the Baltic Sea of Saint Petersburg is practically isolated,
00:55because the only way to exit is by the Detroit of Denmark, controlled by Denmark,
01:00another member of the OTAN.
