All this so that the USA can have a base in Kosovo with which to further surround Russia. Is it really worth it?

I think that the declaration of independence by Kosovo is going to give Putin the opportunity to show that Russia is still a power to be reckoned with. Kosovo may be 90% Muslim today, but if history is any indicator, it may be 10% Muslim by this time next year.

Our recognition of Kosovo is a direct slap in the face to Serbia and Russia. Russia would like nothing more than to re-exert it's influence in Eastern Europe and this gives them a legitimate excuse to do so.

Hold on to your hats gang. WWIII may have just begun.

Russia has legitimate concerns that Kosovo will be used as an Al Qaeda terrorist staging ground for attacks against Russia and its interests.

I also think that this situation is far more dangerous than what is being reported.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say WW3, but I will say Cold War 2....or Cold War 2: The Reckoning :)
