Afghanistan , Afghanistan ... a Russian sorry reminder of how Russians were killed by US provided Stinger missiles . Prediction : after the unsucessfulo attempt by Russia to settle peace with the Builderbergs/Rothschilds ( by canceling the delivery to Iran of the S-300 missiles ) , and by the recent escalation by the Bilderbergs in offering Georgia a NATO membership , the ball is back in the Russian court . But with a difference . Now , that Russia obliged beyound courtesy yet with no effect , it is normal that Putin will authorised the delivery to Taliban of the Russian shoulder-launced missiles similar to the US Stingers . Hence , Game Over for NATO in Afghanistan , that simple . Yet , if Putin doesn't do it , it will be a clear sign that Russia is hold by the 'balls' by the Rothschilds . That in istself should call for charging Putin with Treason . Food for thought ...
