Where will Greater Albania strike next?
A couple of snip its.
Later, Sergei Yastrzhembsky, Russia's envoy to the European Union, used a more conciliatory tone, saying the Kosovo problem should be resolved exclusively by political means.
In what appeared to be a contradictory comment, Rogozin assured that "Russia was not planning to get involved in any armed confrontation over Kosovo."
"There will be no war between Russia and NATO over Kosovo," he said, though the Kosovo issue "will certainly hamper our dialogue."
The article starts out with a defiant Russia but ends with a softer approach to the problem. Is Russia bi-polar?
“The next war will be caused by some damned fool thing in the Balkans!”

Seems like George is trying to pick a fight with Russia. With this and missle defence in Poland, he seems to be trying to lure Russia into a conflict for some strange reason.
It creeps me out that we are most likely on the wrong side of this due to some sort of oil related blackmail from the Saudis.
Will we do ANYTHING to kowtow to the oil producing nations.... have we no soul left?
Russia can escalate this very quickly and in the process cause oil prices to skyrocket...they are not stupid you know. And higher oil will bring them more profit too... they could bleed the western world dry...cut off gas to Europe...move troops into Iran out of spite. Russia has been underestimated many times throughout history... I hope we back down from this mess we have created. It takes very little mischief to raise oil prices...and the Russian have always excelled at mischief.
What are we gonna do..shoot at the Russians??? I think NOT.
Even a skinny starving bear can rip your head clean off.
Did I hear or read somewhere that Lawrence Eagleberger had said something to the effect that the West will “spot”, or “grant” the Moslems Kosovo, as a token of sorts for all else that the West has done against, or had been attempting to do against, to the rest of the Moslem world...I could be wrong...could this be a “grant” to the Saud dynasty to firm up support against Shia Iran/Humiliated-Furious Russian Federation...hmm, I wonder...either way, Otto von Bismarck couldn’t have been more right, especially as applies to today—today the role of Kaiser Willi is being played by another W....hey, what about any oil pipelines running through Kosovo? Or any mining interests in Kosovo? (I smell the distinct smell of oil and mining interests in Kosovo, and I’m sitting in Kansas...)
