I wonder if the Russians.... |
|
are gonna supply some nifty weapons for the Taliban to use on the US.... or have they already.
I figure they could ship some helicopter-killing missiles thru Iran or one of the 'Stans.
Of course, they'd be afraid the Chechens might get ahold of them, but they might figure it's worth the risk.
I wonder what's the Russian version of "Payback is a motherfucker!"
We can only hope they don't.

5. It's possible. Russia wouldn't mind a weakened US. I would think china would do it too. |

When you're on top, you become the target.

snickering behind our backs watching us repeat their mistake of getting fatally & futilely bogged down in the quagmire of Afghanistan. They had to depart with their tails between their legs and so will we.
