Russia also likely to cut Nato supply line

[FarCenter]

MOSCOW: After Pakistan, it is now Russia which seems inclined to go tough against Nato supplies, Geo News reported Wednesday.

Pakistan adopted a tough stance and cut Nato supply line after a Nato strike in Mohmand Agency which killed its 24 military officials and troops.

Russian ambassador to Nato, Dmitry Rogozin has issued a warning to the US that it would be forced to block the Nato supply line if it failed to address Russia's concerns over US program to install missile defence shields in Europe.

1. NATO certainly seems to be burning there bridges very quickly.

If Russia is now moving naval forces in and around Syria, you can bet there pissed at someone.

2. Too bad they don't specify the supply line

I'm kind of curious, given Russia's rather unique history in the area what supply line this would entail.

3. NATO sends supplies to Afghanistan via Russian railways

One route starts at Riga, Latvia, progresses across Russia north of the Caspian Sea, through Kazakstan, through Uzbekistan and into Afghanistan.

The infrastructure in Russia and the Central Asian "stans" was built to support the Russian forces in Afghanistan.

Both Pakistan and Russia can be avoided by using the route from Poti, Georgia on the Black Sea, traversing Georgia and Azerbaijan, ferrying across the Caspian to Turkmenistan, and thence into Afghanistan.
