If they are willing to put their military in Kosovo, NATO may not be willing to stand up to them.
you may be right, but that’s an awfully big risk to take, politically or from a military point of view for Russia
NATOs not dumb, they know Russia doesn’t have the wherewithall to project enough military might to oust NATO from Kosovo short of a marching troops and equipment thru Indian territory. So long as NATO stands firm, Russia can go pound sand and that equals a bad day for them politically
without any credible threat of force, all NATO has to do is remain firm and Russia gets embarrassed.
I still think Russia is going to end up playing games in Georgia in response to all this. Russian CAN project real military might in that little corner of the world if it so desires
