Hi,
Nothing much---if you cannot see it----bu t a lot if you can---. Russia has lost all its allies in the middle east in a years time. Its power base has shrunk extremely fast---so fast that it did not even had the time to react to it either.
A road and a rail road to gwadar---is the end goal---a dream supposedly to come true for russia---. A naval and a merchant shipping port----oppurtunity to establish a mega oil refinery in that area---a steel mill upgradation---a mega rail road project---transportation of goods thru an intermediate route---and not the least---a major setback for the Obama policies----.
If this things happens and if it happens fast---real fast---the republicans are going to smash Obama's policies to kingdom come---.
Nothing more satisfying to see this loud mouth braggart fall to his knees in humiliation---it would be a tragic moment for the u s foreign policy and foreign office.
The balance of power projection would shift one more time.
The unfortunate part is that Pak is forever attempting to make itself relevant by ' offering ' itself in terms of its resources, location or services.
It loses its relevance when any of these ' assets ' loose their sheen with time or the user finds an alternative etc.
A nation must have more to offer than just its physical self / attributes.
