Russia is up to no good

It is too much coincidence that this (http://www.military.com/news/article/February-2009/us-kicked-out-of-kyrgyzstan-air-base.html) happened right after this (http://www.military.com/news/article/February-2009/attack-shuts-nato-route-in-pakistan.html) happened. And now this (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,487944,00.html) is happening?
I don’t think so. I think Russia is playing us (the USA) and they know it. They now, all of a sudden, are big supporters of the coalition fight in Afghanistan and I think this is a joke. I am not sure of their motivation behind all of this, maybe it is becuase Manus Air base is only 17 miles from the Russian Border, maybe it is becuase they want to expand their presence there and don’t want us watching them do it. Maybe there is are some other sneaky plans, but regardless they can barely afford to support their own country so how can they afford to give several billion dollars to Kyrgyzstan?
This is all too fishy to me and I don’t trust a Russian as far as I can throw them. I know I have mentioned it in other blogs from when I was in Afghanistan, that the people of Afghanistan cannot stand or trust Russians themselves. In fact I think the only people that Afghans hate more than Pakistanis, is Russians. Russia did everything but wipe that country off the map, and the people of Afghanistan has not forgotten this and probably won’t anytime soon. There are lots of military cargo trucks being used by the Afghan Army that came from Russia several years ago. On the side of the truck it is painted “A gift from the people of Russia”, and every truck I ever saw the Afghan Army had painted over several letters so instead of “Russia” it said ” u s a”.
On a related note, I wonder if the Military and State Department will take off the gloves once we don’t need transportation routes in Pakistan and start to truly treat them as they are, a country harboring terrorists. I would expect that once we are no longer relying on them that our forces will push deeper and more visible into Pakistan. With routes through Russian friendly countries then Pakistan has no real value to us anymore.
If this happens, remember you heard it here first….
