CSTO versus NATO

The new Russian alliance. I am betting NATO would win the dance off, but you never know...Kazakhstan has Borat.

"President Dmitry Medvedev said Russia, Armenia, Belarus and four Central Asian nations — Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan — had reached the agreement to form a new security force during a summit of the Moscow-dominated Collective Security Treaty Organization on Wednesday. The force would add a military dimension to the Moscow-dominated alliance, which so far has served mostly as a forum for consultations."

Looks like Russia wants exclusive access to the Caspian Sea and its newly discovered rich oil fields. With their military bases in the region, who will contest their right to the gold pot? Smart Putin, very smart.
