Military shuts down fast food in Afghanistan - "It's not an amusement park"

This has nothing to do with the previous seven pages, but, is somewhat relevant to the topic at hand. It looks like the rulers in Kyrgyzstan, a country that we have military bases in to help supply our troops in Afghanistan, just got overthrown. While analysis don't expect the base or supply route to be affected initially because of this, the opposition leaders, who are now in power, are much more pro-Russia than pro-US. Russia has been trying to pressure the old Kyrgyzstan rulers to not allow the US to have military bases in Kyrgyzstan for a while now and have always failed because of the economic benefits. This has the possibility of changing if the opposition stay true to their more pro-Russia views and give in to Russia's influence.
