be expected to gain propagan-
da points in the Third World
by pointing to Afghanistan as
an example of the dangers fac-
ed by developing countries
that get too friendly with the
Russian bear.
Then, too, there was the
half-century-old Soviet sen-
sitivity about encirclement by
unfriendly states.
By effectively annexing
Afghanistan, the Russians
' have come close to severing
the first chain of anti-Mandst
or anti-Soviet states surroun-
ding them. Key links in this
chain are Japan, South Korea,
China, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey
* and Western Europe.
A military thrust of less
than 300 miles from
Afghanistan through western
Pakistan or southeastern Iran
would cut the chain and bring
the Soviet Union to the Ara-
bian Sea, near the entrance to
the oil-rich Persian Gulf.
U.S. observers believe
Russia’s old thirst for warm
waters may have been arous-
ed anew by the prospect that
the Soviet Union may face an
energy shortage of its own
beginning in the mid or late
1980s.
THE UNITED STATES
The Soviets may have their
eye on the last half of this
decade, but Arabian oil is im-
mediately important to the ■
United States and its Western
The orc of instability - II

Soviets initiate superpower showdown
selling arms to China,
Secretary of Defense Harold
Brown said at the conclusion
of his recent visit to Peking,
"We found we have views very
closely parallel on the need to
strengthen other nations in the
region.”
CHINA
China’s senior vice premier
Deng Xiaoping regards in-
tervention in Afghanistan as
‘‘a grave step taken by the
Soviet Union to make a
southward thrust to the Indian
Ocean, control the sea lanes,
seize oil-rich areas and
outflank Rurope so as to gain
world hegemony.”
Of more pressing concern to
China is the security of its old
friend and ally, Pakistan.
In addition to coordinating
military aid to Pakistan with
current crisis as part of a
Soviet maneuver to finally
carve out concrete spheres of
influence in the region follow-
ing years of superpower
jockeying that brought few
clear results.
The most obvious and press-
ing concern behind the Rus-
sian move was that the un-
popular Marxist regime of
Hafizullah Amin would be
overturned by tribal in-
surgents and expose the heavi-
ly Moslem populated southern
regions of the Soviet Union to
the infectious Islamic revolu-
tion.
The Soviets, therefore,
chose to quell the Afghan in-
surrection and, according to
experts, liquidate Amin,
replacing him with a more
responsive Satrap.
The Russians also appeared
to be worried about the possi-
ble loss of credibility with the
Kremlin’s East European
"Geopolitics” - the inter- ' allies, eager to discourage
relationship of politics and
geography — is the game be-
ing played now.
Here is a geopolitical over-
view of the interests of each of
the Big Three in the "arc of in-
stability” as viewed by
diplomatic and other analysts
in the East and West:
SOVIET UNION
From the Moscow .
perspective, analysts view the
allies.
About 20 percent of 8-
million-plus barrels of oil the
United States imports each
day comes from wells on the
Arab side of the Persian Gulf
—1.2 million alone from Saudi
Arabia.
Saudi Arabia, a leading pur-
chaser of U.S. weaponry, sits
atop the world’s largest pro-
ven reservoir of crude oil — 28
percent of the world total.
While Washington does not
appear to perceive an immi-
nent threat to the Arabian oil
fields or the tanker routes,
President Carter has told
members of Congress that the
Soviet move in Afghanistan
directly threatened U.S.
security because, if the
Soviets suffered no adverse
consequences from their ac-
tion, there would be the temp- the United States, China can
tation “to move again and
again until they reached
warm water ports” or gained
control of world oil supplies.
The Russian action also has
brought the United States and
China closer to a community
of interests.
Although the United States
is sticking to its policy of not
their own dissident
movements by raising the
specter of Soviet intervention
on the order of Hungary in
1956 and Czechoslovakia in
1968.
Soviet expansion into
Afghanistan has triggered a
geopolitical showdown
between the world’s super-
powers along Southwest
Asia’s so-called “arc of in-
stability.”
The ultimate stakes in what
is expected to be a drawn-out
global drama are extremely
high since Afghanistan forms
the backdoor to the fabulous
oil wealth of Iran and the Ara-
bian peninsula and to the In-
dian subcontinent.
Even if the Soviet Union, as
it avows, is pursuing only
short-range goals in the
bloody suppression of Islamic
insurgents in Afghanistan, the
long-range effect is that the
Russians will be more
strategically placed to
destabilize the autocratic
Moslem regimes in Iran,
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia,
whenever the Kremlin’s in-
terests dictate.
