и чуть не помер от смеха:
"The invasion of Afghanistan was set up infrastructurally from 1956. They just wanted a convenient time and the force on hand.
Though I gather from your smug rant you're totally unaware of THOSE facts, which are obvious and clear. (hint: When I offer something like this, it's your cue to ask what I mean if you don't understand.)
(note for readers: In 1956, the Soviets offered and built a 6 lane superhighway from the Soviet border to Kabul, and around half the country. Purely as a magnanimous gesture. Purely coincidence, and they're use of it in 1979 was only a response to "American Imperialism.")" © Michael Z. Williamson
Шестиполосное шоссе, идущее по горам, построенное в 1956 году - это он здорово придумал.
Кстати, автора этой клинической фантазии, если я не ошибаюсь, собираются издавать у нас толи в АСТ, толи в Азбуке (правда, в соавторстве с Джоном Ринго) ;)
