[pistons92] Re: Aceh is not a slanging match

Kalo emang lagi perang sama pemerintah RI, nggak heran kalo GAm nggak suka
sama FPI, LJASWJ dll. yang sejak zaman Wiranto emang dikenal sebagai preman
punya TNI. (Ingat dulu peran ini cuman dimonopoli sama Pemuda Pancasila).
Aku nggak tahu sampai sejauh mana TNI masih bisa ngontrol milisi2 ini, tapi
sekarang kayaknya TNI emang butuh mereka untuk ngimbangin militer asing di
Aceh. (Otherwise why should the Indonesian government -- very likely to make
the TNI hardliner happy --set a deadline for the foeign troop in Aceh?)

 Without such a deadline, those troop would have gone by March as any troop
deployment cost a lot of money. Thus without saying anything that really
make Indonesian government look ungratefull -- by a common human decency
standard -- these foreign troop will go by next  month or so.

********************************

Kita lihat aja posisi AS secara logis. Dengan basis militer besar di Diego
Garcia dan Guam, apa perlunya bikin basis di Aceh? Being unstable
politically, a military base in Aceh would be very expensive. Dulu basis di
Filipina cuman untuk ngimbangi basis Uni Soviet di Vietnam. Lagipula saat
perang dingin, military spending was no object. Perlu diingat doktrin AB AS
dan Barat saat ini adalah rapid depolyment using mobile forces rather than
static presence.

Terus dengan basis di Brunei, ngapain UK butuh basis di Aceh? Apalagi saat
ini lagi ada perampingan besar-besar di UK Armed Forces.

Dengan jumlah personel yang kecil, buat apa Australia bikin basis di Aceh?
Untuk gelar pasukan di sepanjang pantai Australia Barat dan Utara aja
pas-pasan....

Jepang? Well the country has been in deep recession since 1990s. Nggak
bakalah Jepang proyeksi kekuatan dari segi ekonomis (laian UUD Jepang juga
membatasi).

Singapore? Don't kid ourselves. The puny little country has very small
active soldier at any given time. It's unlikely that they will mobilise
their male citizen (the reservist) just to man a military base in Aceh.
