RE: The Great Game

The Russians can almost smell the salt water from their dreamed of warm-water port.

Are you two nuts? Russia had Afghanistan. It didn't work out very well. While I'm sure they would love to see it reduced to rubble (further, anyway) you can't seriously think they want to go through an occupation again.

If they did they could have long ago easily retaken it. Its not conquering that is the problem, its holding it subject to the guerrila attacks.

And ppaul, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Afghanistan has any ports.

You and your BS Cold War rhetoric Mr. Brzyvski. Should Russia still be taken apart into more managable pieces...oh Cold Warrior...or should you be buried on the ash heap of history along with all the other "great" leaders that never adapted? You damn well know that was always BS. Russia went into Afghan for the same Reason that the US is now going in, to fight the yearly migrations of psychoes.
