Great. Troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, and spread around the world in the Phillippines and like countries and Putin may just put troops into Serbia. What then?

"Russia could use force in Kosovo" I can't see it happening.
To: PurpleMan
Why are we backing the people there, who sided with Hitler in WWII?...
To: jhpigott
Can’t blame Russia all that much. They don’t want a muslim state set up in their backyard. Nobody is talking about it but that’s where it stands.

WWWI started there. It is not worth one American live to defend the “independent” Kosovo.

Why do we want another muslim country? Is this more of Bush-the-wuss’ compassionate conservastism?

Russia knows if they mess with with the US they risk total annihilation.
If anything, they’re rational gamblers. They’re not about to throw it all away over some lousy Balkan family feud.

Theyre not about to throw it all away over some lousy Balkan family feud. Neither should we. Good luck to the EU.

The EU will soon deploy 2,000 officials to strengthen law and order in Kosovo, which has a population of about two million. Russia argues that the mission has no legal basis.How do these Euronuts recognize the State of Kosovo as a lawful sovereign entity and then deploy 2000 officials along with 15,000 troops within that nation's sovereign territory???

Simple.
Bring all the troops home to stop the rioting over the bad economy, housing crisis, and the high cost of parking at the casinos in Vegas.

To: maquiladora
neither can I, he really has no way to get them there other than maybe an airlifted contingent. I don’t think the Ukranine is going to give em’ a free pass. Overland routes are not exactly in abundance.
However, I would not put it past Putin to rachet up the tension in Georgia

Russia is too weak to take on NATO in a full-scale war.
They are bluffing and saber-rattling.
The Serbs have placed their hopes in a megaphone, not an ally.
The Russians lost 8,000 soldiers in 20 months in Chechnya fighting a population half the size and far less than half as well-equipped as Kosovo, with no support from NATO.

Because they have that sovereign nation's permission, that's how.
