Scorpio: Mush cannot afford to LOSE the war there. But... he cannot afford to WIN it either, because then he loses his biggest leverage against the AmirKhans. So this may explain why there is no Bugtistan-type decisive operation against Mullah FM. However, the Baki Fauji in Pakhtoonistan must also ...

never allow themselves to be cornered that way. more to the point, you must keep in mind that these are the same people that the PA had trained to fight the Soviet ground forces during the 1980s. these guys have faced the most powerful of ground weapons that the soviets could throw at them and stil...

would it not be nice if the administrators removed the comments from between the scenarios, then it will make excellent reading.
I am not saying that comments should not be made. Make them. After they have met their objective they can be removed.

One point is that after the J18 agreement, MMS/UPA said India woul get the same rights and treatment as a de-facto nuclear weapon state.

I do not think US will take back everything.

As a result we have a huge radioactive storage problem with no end in sight. And this was ...
