CFR envisions a seperation of Eurasia from Asia.
By placing U.S. assets in a arrayed front ..thus having control stategically of both sectors.
Afgansistan..Turkey..Georgia..Uzbekastan.. etc
Part of the reason the U.S. is in Afganistan..and why it is really not to concerned with the drug trade or Islam...just being there is what counts for now.
Russia will end game America by de-stabilizing the mid-east.
I watched a program..very legit.
In 1973 the Russians paid a visit to Egypt..said their intel had Israeli troops massing on the Syrian border.
Egypt went to her photo recon docs and said no way.
Moscow then went to Eschol the Premier of Israel..."Why are you massing troops on the Syrian border"?...Eschol said we are not..lets go together I will show you.
Moscow played this hand continually for weeks..thus decieving Egypt and Syria into an Invasion option.
This was done soley to humiliate and weaken the U.S. who was calculated to be too weak and divided from the Vietnam war.
Moscow knew Israel would recover and win..they only wanted to continue the "Power Chess game"..kind of.."Have you forgotten us lately America..we have power and influence..take a look"!
It's in Russia's interest to have Pakistan and India flare up..making the U.S. run to salvage control..and spend volumes of money.
The same goes for the mid-east and terrorism....Russia is removed from focus as a manipulator..that falls on the U.S...as the U.S. is dragged into many realities via oil and Arabic political machinations...America is stretched strategically..and forced to spend enormous sums of money... Russia sits back and smirks.
There seem to be a lot of dinosaur cold warriors with "castration" issues in Russia. Recognize Abkhazia? What about Chechnya. They're reaching, acting out old fears. And they don't have Free Republic.
Watch what Putin says.
