A good analysis, but it ignores the geography of defending nations, most notably the USSR and Canada. They are respectively the largest and second largest countries on this planet. Native hunter-gatherers are thin on the land because of scarcity of food.Meanwhile, white (racially European) inhabitants tend to huddle around the few mining towns.Furthermore, most of their territory is vast swaths of Arctic tundra and taiga that is very thinly populated. Stationing and supplying sufficient troops to defend these vast regions is almost impossibly expensive.Secondly, stationing white (racially European) troops in those regions soon produces large numbers of cold and psychological casualties ... even in peace-time.During the Cold War, the Canadian Armed Forces "cheaped out" by arming handfuls of native hunters and assigning the Canadian Airborne Regiment to task of responding to Soviet invasion of the Canadian High Arctic. In truth, the Royal Canadian Air Force never had enough transport airplanes to re-supply a substantial numbers of paratroopers in the Canadian High Arctic.
