It's time for us all to memorize the geography of Central Asia, so that we know the location of countries like Turkmenistan as well as we know the location of Illinois or Nebraska.
 
Pepe Escobar provides a pretty good map to help us do that, and his article, linked above, which contains that map is more than just pretty good--it's awesome!
