[REGNUM] Menacing clouds began to hang over Afghanistan and Pakistan and almost direct signs of the implementation of the geopolitical scenario of the collapse of the two states appeared.

#5   I have noted that Regnum is a Russian site

It is, indeed, Slavising Unineting5672.

whose authors must either be paid substantially for their silly propaganda, or be on the pipe.

Normally we aren’t that interested in how Russia thinks the world works. But just now they are reasserting themselves in Rantburg’s areas of interest, so we must.

#4  ^^^ And the US didn't appear to learn any lessons from its escapade in AFG, either. The MIC and the corrupt politicians made out like bandits, but VA facilities have their fair share of physically and mentally f'ed up soldiers if they aren't asking for money at traffic lights.

#3  I have noted that Regnum is a Russian site whose authors must either be paid substantially for their silly propaganda, or be on the pipe. To give Russia a leading role in the future of Afghanistan is absurd given unforgettable lessons Moscow learned in the period 1979-1988. Nearer to home the Russians continually have their fingers burned in Chechnya and Daghestan. Should the Russian military fail in Ukraine it is predictable that the two regions separatist movements will revive.

#1  ...the closure of the checkpoint "impedes trade on both sides of the border and blocks an important commercial artery and trade route from Pakistan to the countries of Central Asia."

And graft. Don't forget the all important graft.
