I dont agree. Kayani will have a stroke if this happens. This is pretty much the only major threat Pakistan can hold over USA's head at this time.
Look at it from Kayani's perspective.
1. Minor border violations by USA attacking AT via choppers etc
vs
2. Enstranged US which may have implications wrt bigger role for India in Afghanistan
Every one knows what will be more acceptable to Kayani..
One week down the line, every thing will be back to normal.. Both in terms of Supply lines as well as cross border drone and occasional chopper attacks..
You dont?
do want to change the conviction into a doubt
misplaced convictions are worse than doubts..
Those maps that show the "new path" are amusing, to say the least. The sheer logistics of transporting material across west Europe, East Europe, Central Asia - in other words, almost 1/4th of the world!
The Americans would be better off 'outsourcing' all their supply needs to Russia and Kazakhistan. Let the Russians and Kazakhs send material for a fixed fee. Anything which is sensitive, or which the Americans want specific American products, they can airlift into Afghanistan.
very true we have seen this in Indian case so far viz a viz Afghanistan.
And in case of Pakistan viz a viz everything else
If US choses the Russian route, then US pays transit fees to Russia and to 3 countries between Russia and Afghanistan.
Hope the NATO trucks dont get snowed in.
For example what everything else which could be linked to this thread ?
Actually no.. They could just land the material in Turkey (med sea) and from their drive across Georgia(Russia), Russia(Russia), Kazakhastan(Russia), Turkmenistan(Russia) into Afghanistan.

it clears many thing and some naive people think that US is insane to choose Pakistan over other routes
1. Use of Taliban
2. Attempt to use Afghanistan as strategic deapth
3. Tying in with USA in 1980's under Zia
4. Playing both sides (between USA and Taliban) against the middle.
I can go on, but these are the key ones.
