In response to Rob, my expaination would be that with the collapse of
the socialist bloc, and the catastophic effects of capitalism on
Russia, Imperialism (in the dual guise NATO & the EU) is attempting
to pick off all of Russia's neighbours before it has chance to
recover. Yugoslavia was the only bulwalk to this advance eastwards
(completing the West's 1939-45 war aims). Like in the old Austro-
Hungary, they aim to cut it up & redistribute it to border states and
so isolate and weaken Russia. A Marxist response is far than obvious
to me. Other than all out support for Y.C.P., as some argue (we can't
support the KLA), there is no real group to support (like Kashmir)
and we are left merely hurling abuse at NATO.
