#6 Lets stop f***ing around where we have NO economic interest. Afghanistan has thrown us out of a place we should never have been in... "When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains.
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains.
And go to your g-d like a soldier."

#7 So, they're trying to rent bases, and at the same time get Vlad to bend from sanctions. He's gotta be laughing his ass off.
Then again, Putin may go for it. First, you've got the mordita aspect. Then, you've got all the info and photos the GRU "base managers" will come up with. And also, you've always got stuff that 'just falls off the truck'.
