	The Asian Connection: The New Geopolitics of Central Eurasia
		Central Asian states are unwilling to disturb their relations with the world’s lone superpower; moreover American companies play an important role in the consortia developing Caspian hydrocarbon resources, and as a result Iran is unlikely to emerge as a primary export route given the present state of US-Iran relations.
		Central to this struggle is the rising specter of ethnic and religious radicalism, coupled with international narcotics trade and terrorism.
		Central Asian regimes are discovering that their ever rising authoritarian tendencies are only met with vocal protests from the West; these authoritarian practices are in turn to a large extent responsible for the alienation of a large portion of the political opposition, with an intensifying trend toward defections to radical Islamic movements.

	The Strange State of Soviet Central Asia
		Central Asia's lack of clear political identities and political institutions that can channel political sentiment is potentially dangerous, for this region shares the volatile mix of frustrations that have bred political extremisms and violence in the Middle East and South Asia.
		Soviet planners ignored the fact that Central Asia represents a closed, finely balanced watershed, in which the Syr and Amu rivers feed the Aral Sea, the world's fourth-largest lake.
		Central Asians face a blunt choice: Scientists conclude that they must cut the amounts of water used for irrigation to stabilize the Aral, or see the destruction of their lands accelerate.

	Germany's Lost Victory? - Military Photos
		Those Soviet tanks that survived the initial clash with SS armor continued a linear advance and were destroyed by the Germans.
		A Soviet attack by the 181st Tank Regiment was defeated by several SS Tigers, one of which, the 13th (heavy) Company of the 1st SS Panzer Regiment, was commanded by 2nd Lt. Michael Wittmann, the most successful tank commander of the war.
		The point is, that the Soviet depiction of the Battle of Kursk - the one with the masterful defense, with the fast and nimble T-34's darting to and fro between the countless heavy German Tiger's, with the large fields of burning German Panzer wrecks - is largely popaganda.

	Was victory a distant dream in kursk? - Page 2 - Armchair General Forums
		Also, I doubt the troops from the central front were that worn out as the concentration in the year 1942 and early 1943 was the south.
		Even if the Germans could assemble a force that the Soviets could not defend against due to terrain or transport restrictions (very unlikely given the time the Germans left them), then the Soviets could always opt to start a large-scale attack elsewhere where they can assemble more forces, causing a dilemma for the German side.

		In a postmortem of the Afghan war by the Russian army general staff, which was later published, analysts counted more than 1,800 terrorist acts against non-military targets in Afghanistan between 1985 and 1987 alone.
		There, then, is a quick series of snapshots of a few of the "fronts" in our world at war with itself.
		Messrs Bush and Blair fantasised their way to war with all those mythical weapons of mass destruction and "imminent threats" from Iraq--whether of the 45-minute variety or not--and of the post-war "liberation", "democracy" and map-changing they were going to bestow upon the region.
