-Caveat Lector- The real danger of the US entanglement with Kosovo is that our interference has angered the Russian masses and politicians. They hate us now because they blame us for their economic collapse, that we plotted to get the Russian Govt to borrow billions from the IMF, the govt bureaucrats stole the money, stashed billions out of the country, and sold off all assets to gangsters. Now Russia is swamped in debt and the ruble has so devalued that the average Russian has lost all his savings. When NATO expanded last year, the Russians were very opposed and said it was an aggressive act to include Poland, Chech, etc in NATO since it would now be on the Russian border and a threat to Russia. NATO dismissed that fear and said NATO was only defensive. Now the Russians see NATO invade and bomb Serbia and interfere in a countries' internal civil war and their worst fears are realized. What this does is feed Russian paranoia about the US. Makes us the evil enemy again. This is very dangerous since Russia is the only other country with 1000's of nuke missiles pointed at us. Stupid Clinton is reawakening the Cold War. Who cares about Kosovo when we are antagonizing a massively nuclear armed Russia. Although Russia has been weakened and demoralized by their economic collapse, they still have the power to annihilate the US in minutes. The Russians are like a slightly deranged homeless man wondering the nice suburban neighborhood, mumbling to himself, angry, hungry and frustrated but armed with a fully loaded AK 47 and pockets full of grenades, and no one can disarm him or take him in custody. Instead of giving him a sandwich, the neighbors laugh at him and the kids tease him. Now they have started to beat and kick his only companion, a little mangy dog. And the homeless man gets madder and madder and starts to point his AK 47 at the neighborhood houses but no one cares because it is so much fun to kick the little dog.
