My Comment: This is another case where .... do not listen to what they say, but pay attention to what they do. Aside from all of the Russian criticism of the U.S. and NATO, there is a recognition that there are adversaries out there that are far worse .... the Taliban and Al Qaeda to name a few. And while the U.S. and NATO will have to pay for this "service", I am betting that it will be cheaper than using Pakistan and/or any other country.
