Heck, we would be better off moving the US troops to Georgia. Give the Russians exactly what they do not want. Let India settle its score with Pakistan. Of course, that is exactly what Obama will not do. My guess is he will surge into Afghanistan and get the troops cutoff when the India Pakistan Cold War goes hot. The Russians will then say nyet and make their major move on Georgia.

Why do we give a hoot about Georgia? I mean the Europeans aren’t willing to back a stand there. The Turks won’t either. The Pakistani’s are more our enemy than a friend, and without these countries (Turkey in particular) Georgia has little strategic value.

Starting to look too much like Don Quixote tilting at windmills if you ask me. The alliance is largely a dead letter IMO.

Am I wrong here that a collapsing Pakistan would essentially leave our boys stranded in Afghanistan without supplies (barring India taking Kashmir) or do we have friends to the north?
