#1  JPOST > [Former Russian INTERPOL Head Vladimir Ochinovsky] "WAR IN CAUCASUS MAY LAST 100 YEARS" | TERROR THREAT IN RUSSIA GREATER THAN IN ISRAEL.

and

* WAFF > [Austin Bay]MOSCOW'S SILENT WAR EXPLODES.

2012 Sochi Olympics at risk???

ARTIC = Among other, denotes that CAUCASUS ISLAMIC + SEPARATIST MILITANTS are quite willing to kill INTERNATIONAL VISITORS, INCLUDING THOSE FROM COUNTRIES SYMPATHETIC TO THEIR CAUSE ... BOTTOM LINE IN COMMUNICATION, IS "RUSSIAN WEAKNESS", IMO i.e. Russia's failure to absolutely or decisively defeat the Militants andor prevent any new episodes of MAJOR VIOLENCE.

IMO CAUCASUS INSURGENCY = US-NATO VS TALIBAN IN AFPAK = although MOSCOW is seemingly winning in the Caucasus, the MilTerrs "HAVE NOT LOST" YET EITHER.

* Also from WAFF > [KavKaz Center.net]RUSSIAN FSB: MOSCOW AIRPORT BOMBED BY "RUSSIAN WAHHABIS", + NOGANI "MILITANTS" [NOGANI
BATTALION Militant Group].

--------------

* ION PEOPLES DAILY FORUM > NATO: AFGHANISTAN WAR WON'T END LIKE VIETNAM, in 1975 after withdrawal of US-International troops + formal end of combat role in South Vietnam.

"VIETNAMIZATION/DE-AMERICANIZATION" was working -South Vietnam collapsed in 1975 due to the post-Watergate US Govt's failure to BOTH EFFEC RE-SUPPLY = REPLENISH SOUTH VIETNAM'S LOSSES IN THE FACE OF THE NEW NORTH VIETNAMESE INVASION: + ULTIMATELY TO LIVE UP TO THE US' MORAL, TREATY COMMITMENT TO ONCE AGAIN COME TO SOUTH VIETNAM'S MILITARY DEFENSE IN A WORST-CASE SCENARIO, i.e. iff it appeared that North Vietnam + VC allies were about to overrun + defeat the South.

IMO iff certain US Govt. top Officals, Perts are goin to claim that US economic troubles are "as back in the 1970's", then the US-led NATO has no business making such a claim that Vietnam-style defeat cannot repeat itself.

Espec given

* MURPHY'S LAWS
* "THE DESTINY OF A LION KING IS TO BE OVERTHROWN", either by His own Cubs, etc. or by outside, Third-Party Intervenors. IOW, ONE IS OR REMAINS "KING" ONLY IFF ONE SURVIVES THE OPPOSITION.
