Geographic benefits erodes with technology. Technology has compressed the world, global shipping gives actors with money and leverage access to resources around the world. Post war US power projection is based off the fact it has technology to reach others while others cannot reach CONUS. Which has/is going to change shortly. Now techology like precise long range strikes makes CONUS no better than Saudi. Having resource autarky =/= resource security when modern missiles can take out critical infra on CONUS. Geography matters less than ever.
