But this was because there was something in Germany and Berlin that mattered - Christians and Jews.
Do we even care about a worthless country full of inbred muslim piss-ants who hate us? What does Afgahnistan possibly have that we need or want? Our concern is killing the right ones - no matter who finishes the job. We have other work that needs done.
Because it puts them one sliver of Pakistan away from a warm water port.
In any event, I'm glad they are in with us on this mess!
Why does Russia want it? It might make a difference to us.
Lets carry this thing on through. Why do they want a warm water port?
Because the rest of their ports are practically unusable in the winter. They have some ice-breaking ships, but a warm water port would make things infinitely easier.
Does that include moving troops?
This is the status quo argument. However, China has no intention of establishing a multipolar world. They have intentions of establishing a China, India and Japan relationship. In Turkmenistan, Japan is investing in oil and gas along with China.
Russia is the one that is pushing for a multipolar concept. China will not have anything to do with this.
Countering China’s Strategic Encirclement of India
Russia and China have recently entered into a new strategic partnership for peace, ending three decades of bitterness and distrust fostered by ideological confrontation and the Sino-Soviet border war. While Russia advocates a new multi-polar world order based on a Russia-China-India triangle for peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region and to counter United States (US) domination of the emerging world order, the Chinese view is that only the US, Russia and China are real global powers and that in the Asia-Pacific region, security and stability should be based on a China-India-Japan triangle [1]. Exhibiting Russian determination to play a greater geo-strategic role and to counter what it perceives as increasing US hegemony, the then Russian Prime Minister, Mr Yevgeny Primakov had offered to form a "strategic triangle" along with India and China during his talks with the Indian Prime Minister at New Delhi in December 1998. While India responded in a luke warm manner to the proposal, China dismissed it out of hand.
China can't be trusted. India and Russia will know this soon.
Scariest book ever written New Lies for Old. For twenty-five years I have kept hoping that Golytsin might be wrong, because he failed to take into account that those formerly oppressed by communism might actually prefer freedom, and that once they had a taste, there would be no going back.
However, the man's predictions for the post-Soviet world have been eerily accurate. Unfortunately, I believe he was a victim of intelligence service infighting in that whole Angleton-Mole-Hunt Debacle that ruined the CIA for quite a long time ...perhaps permanently.
Golitsyn’s prediction in his 1984 book, “Before long, the Communist strategists might be persuaded that the balance had swung irreversibly in their favor. In that event they might well decide on a Sino-Soviet ‘reconciliation.’ The scissors strategy would give way to the strategy of ‘one clenched fist.’ At that point the shift in the political and military balance would be plain for all to see.”
Only because the suprise attack on the US failed in it's design.

Just a tad OUTDATED! Why is someone posting 2001 news that is inaccurate? Bored?
