Any bets on how long the border will be closed? Afterall, it's not just US forces they are depriving of supplies, but a good portion of Afghanistan (including that Chinese copper mine)?

My bet is that this will get hashed out within a few weeks. There's a lot of money at stake for the Pakistani truckers who haul that stuff.

But we do have a backup through Russia, albeit more expensive:

Pakistan is a complex situation.. They are embarrassed that they have very little control over their frontier and the tribes that live there.

But this is just as much a power play against Afghanistan, as it is against the US.
