Afghanistan: Russia steps in to help Nato

[Shehbaz Khan]

Russia has agreed to return to the war in Afghanistan at the request of the Western states which helped the mujahedin to drive its forces out of the country 21 years ago.
The Independent has learnt that Moscow is engaged in training the Afghan army and counter-narcotics troops and has agreed in principle to supply Nato with several dozen helicopters for use in Afghanistan.
A number of aircraft have already been sold to Poland, a member of the US-led coalition, for use in the conflict. Now Nato is in talks with the Russians over direct supplies of more helicopters, training the pilots, and allowing arms and ammunition to be transported through Russian territory as an alternative to a Pakistani route which has come under repeated Taliban attack.

Good find, very alarming, just what I had expressed worry about being in the cards to happen.

A TERRIBLE development -

May God end this war before the Russians return to recreate their evil deeds in Afghganistan.

If the Russian involvement escalates, it could be a double insult to the country already suffering from relentless pounding by the US.

Only the devil could be behind this paradox.

Russia must have thought before stepping into Afghanistan but I think Russia also have got some interest in this land
