Caspian The Friendly Ghost

Central Asia. Fucking Centre of the World, if you count Persia too. The Biggest Source of Texas Tea in the World, a decisive point if there ever was one. Britain successfuly stopped Germany from winning WWI because Germany couldn't get the fuel to run it's mechanized divisions when British forces from Persia delayed Germany's advance on the region in 1918. History Repeats in 1942, when Stalin draws a line in the sand and says no further. Now the US has been setting up military bases all around the region for the inevitable putsch for power from any players - who's got Game? with any luck, Europe'll be running on alternatives, so they won't give a flying two hoots, and Russia'll be too wasted to make an effort. China. US v. PRC. Tonight, on Pay Per View.

Taking All Bets Till the End of The Century.

for those with a little less patience, odds on an Iran Invasion during a Bush Administration are running at less than 2:1... don't forget it counts Jeb and The Twins...
