re: #885 alegrias

Russia promises cooperation in allowing US overflights into Afghanistan.

Why would they want to “help” us in Soviet Union’s graveyard (as Afghanistan was called back in the day)?

What’s the payback to them? Where’s the beefsky?

I’m not sure, but I would guess that their starting (and, given the negotiating prowess of our POTUS, ending) position would be de-funding of all missile defense research, a pull-pack on anti-missile deployments, and unilateral reduction of the US nuclear arsenal.

I’m sure if they throw in asking for the mineral rights to Alaska BO will think it’s a real bargain…
