strategical

adj

1. Strategic.

   “From a strategical point of view, north Korea is highly important to Russia. Together with Russian occupation of Outer Mongolia, Manchuria is enclosed between two Russian forces 500 miles apart, and one on each flank. The form of Manchuria resembles a mushroom, with the above mentioned Russian forces along the stem. In case of war, it would be most difficult to hold Manchuria against these Russian forces. The road and railroad net of north Korea are good for assembling troops on the Manchurian border. It should be presumed that Russia will not lightly surrender this favorable position.”
