#1 Alternative,load a truck with a small bomb and Smallpox and pass through, if it's hijacked wait a few days and resume shipments, they'll all be dead.

Yes I'm tired of this shit.

#2 A deal already set with Russia will allow the equipment to be moved directly though land into Europe, and to air bases to fly the U.S. equipment home.

My cost ?

#6 DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > US APOLOGY NEEDED TO [Re-]OPEN NATO SUPPLY ROUTES OR CLOSE FOREVER: KHAR.

PAK FM Hina Rabbini Khar.

* SAME > PAKISTAN REPEATS DEMAND FOR SALALA APOLOGY FROM US TO REOPEN SUPPLY ROUTES.

* SAME > PAKISTAN AND US: ALLIES WIDOUT TRUST.

Best of so-called "Frenemies"???

* DAILY TIMES.PK > US APOLOGY A MUST FOR REOPENING SUPPLY LINES: FM.

Taken collectively, IMO the success or failure of these alternate routes thru these CAR States will depend on whether US-Iran major ground war can be perman avoided, as per Russia's threat to close down the NDN iff the US-Israel attack Iran.

As indic by ...

* TOPIX > [HuffPo] MJ ROSENBERG: OBAMA CAN WIN [Re-] ELECTION IFF ENDING TO IRAN WAR THREAT, vee mainstream US Voter = Political acceptance of the US allowing Iran limited uranium enrichment for purposes of civilian nuclear energy, + while also removing UN Sanctions on Iran. There will seemingly not only be peace between the US + Shia Iran [ + by extension wid US ally, Iran rival Sunni Saudi Arabia?], but the latter Shia Iran will also help significantly reduce high gas, fuel prices in CONUS ala the resumption of bilateral oil trade.

FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION REMAINS = CAN THE US-WEST TRUST THE POST-GWOT, POST-"ARAB/MUSLIM/ISLAMIC SPRING", MOSTLY PRO-ISLAMIST ARAB-MUSLIM WORLD TO UNILATERALLY KEEP DANGEROUS NUKE-WMDS MILTECHS OUT OF THE [asymmetric] HANDS OF PRO-ISLAMIST, PRO-VIOLENCE/JIHAD MILITANTS-TERRORISTS/NGOS + ALIGNED???

Iff the on-going failure of the Arab-Muslim World to set up desired, so-called OWG "Islamic/Muslim Union" or similar is any measure, UNFORTUNATELY THE ANSWER IS A RESOUNDING "NO".

At least for the current generations.

[KIDDIES OF THE APOCALYPSE, OWG, + CALIPHATE here].
