#2  IIRC DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > AFGHANISTAN IS NOW THE US, NATO'S NORTHERN LOGISTICS DISTRIBUTION NETWORK.

Moscow was previously elated at the US-PAK diplomatic row - first oer US UAV attacks agz allged Pak Civilians, not Jihadi Bad Boyz, + later Abbottabad - which put US-NATO air, transport bases + routes thru Central Asia = former Soviet SSRS at risk, BUT NOW MOSCOW APPEARS TO HAD CHANGED ITS TUNE DUE TO THE POOR GLOBAL ECON + EXPANSION OF THE TALIBAN THREAT IN POST-OSAMA/ABBOTTABAD PAKISTAN.
