Benjamin King2 said:More than half of the supplies are already being hauled by rail from Riga all the way to Termez in Uzbekistan—plus there's that alternative route running from Poti in Georgia through Baku and across the Caspian Sea to get back to Uzbekistan. The real headache for the Pentagon, though, is the astronomical cost of shipping through Pakistan; we’re talking anywhere from $400 to $1,000 just to move a single gallon of oil, depending on how remote or godforsaken the destination is. Between those prices and the constant attacks on fuel tankers making the whole route unstable, they’re pushing hard to get 75% of the equipment moved via northern routes into Afghanistan.

Good to know!

A US federal court just found this Russian guy guilty

A conspiracy to kill US nationals
Plots against US officials and military officers
Trying to get his hands on anti-aircraft missiles
And a scheme to supply FARC with materials

The whole thing was a setup—US agents posed as FARC rebels to bait him into those conversations and build the indictment

Investigative journalist Daniel Estulin actually pointed out
That this trial is really just about undermining Russia's national interests

Russia is still the only one standing up to NATO and US aggression
The United States uses all sorts of tactics globally to chip away at Russian influence and credibility

Anyone remember similar cases happening elsewhere?
