interesting article … mmmm watso always wondered what the significance of Kashmir was - but anyway, the article provides a reasonable explanation ..
anyway a very interesting OP - and just think about it - but at the end of the day the combination of Russia and china in that part of the world (look at an atlas) could result in the total exclusion of America (ie usa).
compared to his counterparts in USA - Lavrov comes across as being very considered and reasonable … ok - watso is not too sure who his exact counterparts are in the usa are - but Bolton and Pompeo come to mind as contenders - and then America has some special envoy responsible for Venezuela - ie abrams .
mmm good to know that the americans are so concerned about the peoples of Venezuela, that they have a special person to be concerned about their welfare .
mmm ok - forget Venezuela - but the Saudi's need hundreds of billions of $$$$$ of American/west European military equipment to defend themselves - even though they have a defence agreement with America - and American military bases on their land and America would do everything possible to protect the petrodollar .
mmm does America have a special envoy who is concerned about the plebs in yemen??? lol lol obviously no - because better to sell billions and billions of dollars to the Saudis so that they can defend themselves against some misfits in sandals who have a few bows and arrows
