There’s a book by a liberal dork called Prisoners of Geography that does a decent material analysis about how different countries are constrained by the geography of their land. It was written in 2014. He acknowledges:
Tibet is an extremely important headwater and will always be a part of China.
Ukraine is of major startegic importance and will always be in the Russian sphere of influence.
It isn’t super deep, but it can be a useful resource to toss at somebody who has never read a book before.
