Can Washington Get a New Military Base in Central Asia? | New Eastern Outlook



an Washington Get a New Military Base in Central Asia?
The special attention that the United
States has been paying to Central Asia, while actively seeking ways to
implement a strategy of global leadership in the region that is now
fully recognized as the center of Eurasia, has been covered in numerous
articles, including those published in NEO.

According to the geopolitical concept of
the recognized American political scientist Zbigniew Brzezinski: Those
who control Eurasia control the world. Therefore, Washington’s steps to
strengthen American influence in the region in the long run are
completely predictable. The pivotal role in this policy is played by the
US military bases in the region and military cooperation ties. After
all, according to the globalist logics of the White House, American
influence in any region must be supported by the “adequate” military
force. The 9/11 events in the US and the consequent anti-terrorist
intervention in Afghanistan have become a pretext for a major military
deployment of American and NATO troops in Central Asia.

By the way, the ongoing engagement of US
troops in Afghanistan confirms the notion that the presence of US and
NATO forces in this country has little to do with the “struggle for
democracy”. The true purpose of the military intervention in Afghanistan
was the creation of powerful military bases, as the geographical
position of this country is pretty unique in terms of the strategic
freedom it provides. From this area Washington can launch a massive
attack against Russia’s Urals and Siberia, different facilities in
Central Asia, Iran, Pakistan, India and China. For this reason from the
very start of the US invasion of Afghanistan, Shindand and Bagram Air
Bases were transformed into massive construction sites where a large
number of surface and underground facilities being built.

It happens so that for Pentagon Central Asia serves as a base for
applying pressure on Russia, China, Iran and the entire Eurasian
continent, it also plays a pivotal role in the post-conflict settlement
in Afghanistan, since it may form a joint military allience under the
banner of opposition to the Islamic state.
