Yeah, we have important bases there...but the most dangerous places my son was stationed was close to the Pakistan border. God bless Trump; he’s making the tough choices like Reagdid...not adhering to principles.

Sort of like a sanctuary state

You’ve got to run supplies to your army(/Air Force/marines). What path do your logistics take, using what transportation modes? This is military operations 101.

Thanks to the Awan bros Pakistan had a fat pipe bug on Congress.

[dila813]

Yeah, he isn’t willing to delude himself

Maybe Pakistan has been allowing the al Queda “guests” that have been living in Iran, to flee to Pakistan, because of the unrest in Iran.

Transport aircraft cannot carry as much as a train or convoy of trucks can; transport aircraft must also fly in friendly or at least neutral skies - if you have to route them around, since you have a fixed number of aircraft, this is less supplies they can deliver per house.

“Relations have deteriorated”?

---

Relations were great when Obama was in office.

This is what happens when the Taliban are no longer inside the building.

[wbarmy]

US military has been forced to go the long route around Pakistan

What in tarnation is the long way around that you speak of?

The only country we have any dealings with on their borders is Turkmenistan and I do not see us trucking stuff through there.

Everything will have to flown in now if they really want it. Or they will pay certain trucking companies an exorbitant amount to cover all the bribes they will need to pay to get the stuff to Khost.

>> airlifts

Or something more exospheric given the Pakis have an air force.

Surrounding countries: Iran, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

Good question, FreedomPoster (paraphrasing): “So what are the routes with a hyper-agitated Pakistan?”

Straight through Iran?

[Gene Eric]

I’m also curious about that “long land route.” I can’t imagine what it would be.

[I want the USA back]

Good. Trump cuts money to muzzy countries. bammy stole our money and gave it to muzzy countries.

[mabarker1]

In Military terms: Ammo, Food, Fuel, Medical Supplies.

Not in that exact order but close.

[mabarker1]

BINGO!

Thank You

Nuke the bastards, Nuke them the next day. Fly high over the cloud with supplies. Finish clearing Our Troops out. NUKE the SAND PIT. GO BACK IN 50 or 100 years and Dozer it back into sand. Build a Resort.

Just stage in and from Afghanistan itself. Shorter distance - just keep it secure

[redgolum]

Interesting.
To balance out, we should reach out to India.

I mean if you are going to make an islamic nuclear power that supports terrorism mad, why go half way?

Don’t be surprised when a nuke makes it way into terrorist hands. Still, you have to stop paying the danegeld eventually. Might as well get it over with.

I wonder how f China will move in to fund these nations and the U.N.?
