Thanks Pan_Yan. And to think I used to believe that Central Asia was pretty dull.
Let’s see... India and Russia, which are traditional allies, are now collaborating with the US in the Afghanistan theater.
Russia’s helping Iran build its nuke programs (both for energy and weapons) and Obama’s not doing anything significant about either.
China wants close ties with the pseudostate of Pakistan, realizing perhaps too late that they’re at risk.
The Taliban wants to seize Pakistan and its nukes, and Islamofascists are already operating in western China.
And you didn’t even mention the former Soviet Union -stan states.
