Quite an astute observation Furio. You're one of the few who realizes that much of the Soviet Union's and, subsequently, Russia's foreign policy is pursuant to acquiring access to a warm weather port. The USSR's invasion of Afghanistan was, in part, an effort to gain leverage on Pakistan in order to negotiate for access to the Arabian Sea.


Im not agree Olivant the Soviets invasione of the Afghanistan was a terribile mistake that accelerato the Soviets Union Fall. The mediterraneanium isnt the arabica sea because is more important and if the soviets during the cold war would need to invade europe its important for the navy to distroy the nato countries navy.
The Pakistan had the nuke bomb but the Soviets would eat it. If the Russian never had a Naval base in pakistan is because they dont need it.

For the Angela Merkel party problem on the polls is because the politic of help immigrants alienato some far right voters special after the Cologne rapes. But after Merkel decided to dont helps refuges and give a hand to the far right,his party is be coming to rover.
