| 2014-10-27 |
| [DAWN] CAMP LEATHERNECK: British forces on Sunday handed over formal control of their last base in Afghanistan to Afghan troops, ending combat operations in the country after 13 years which cost hundreds of lives. The Union Jack was lowered at Camp Bastion in the southern province of Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... , while the Stars and Stripes came down at the adjacent Camp Leatherneck, the last US Marine base in the country. All NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... combat troops will depart Afghanistan by December, leaving Afghan troops and police to battle Taliban gunnies on their own. |

| #5 "Its in another direction" > Yuuup. Its a question-mark how much Radical Islam + Global [nUCLEAR?] Islam as a movement will be altered or influenced by its looming future confrontation agz Best Frenemy Forever Marxism-Globalism + Global Secularism. Lest we fergit, ... * IIRC GROONG > [Ria Novosti] WORLD IS MOVING ABCK TO PERIOD OF "GREAT POWERS" COMPETITION [ + Geopol = MilPol Confrontationism]: ANALYST. ME = No matter what formal andor "handshake" agreements, etc. were made by International Globalists + Aligned before 9-11 or before POTUS Obama = Year 2015?, THE "GREAT GAME" SEZZES IFF ONE SIDE OR CAMP BELIEVES THAT ANOTHER CANNOT OR WILL NOT DEFEND ITS TERRITORIES OR INTERESTS, THE FORMER WILL MORE LIKELY-THAN-NOT TO ATTEMPT TO TAKE OVER FROM THE LATTER FOR ITSELF. OWG-NWO OR NO OWG-NWO, GLOBALISM OR NO GLOBALISM, NUCLEAR JIHAD OR NO NUCLEAR JIHAD, ... ...@ETC. THE "GREAT GAME" STOPS FOR NO COUNTRY. As a reminder again again again ... * 1960'S-1970'S Guam Taotamonas = Hugo Chavez = 2014 Groong + Brookings Institute Analyst = ??? = AS THE US RETREATS OR FALLS BACK ACROSS THE PACIFIC [Asia-Pacific], IT WILL ATTEMPT TO SINK OR OTHERWISE DESTROY STRATEGIC PACIFIC ISLES, E.G. GUAM-WESTPAC, IN ORDER TO DENY TO ITS ENEMIES. "Anti-Access/Area-Denial" aka "A2/AREA-DENIAL" in post-Cold War, post-9-11 Modernist lingo = MilSpeak. ----------- Iff the US-Allies were ever worried about the Taliban getting legal or illegal control of Pakistan's Nukes-WMDS, it now has the ISIS/ISIL threat to Asia as complement to same. |

| #4 OldSpook----It is worse than orthogonal. It is in the realm of imaginary numbers. Bizarro world. |

| #2 It's not "behind" Besoeker---it's in another direction. And, I'm not sure you can call it civilization. |

| #1 Get out and stay out, don't look back. Thanks to the wonderful faith of Islam, civilization in Afghanistan is 2000 years behind the west. There is no catching up. |
