I think that we may be taking the wrong side in Kosovo due to the influence of oil rich nations like Saudi Arabia.

We have gotten ourselves into a spot where we can be easily influenced or even blackmailed because of our dependence on ME oil at reasonable prices.

If we are responding to pressure from such sources then we can likely also be influenced by threats from Russia...after all, they can also do things that will impact the price of oil.

And when the price of oil increases it is a windfall to Russia.

Well said.

Wrong. This is about preventing the rebirth of the Soviet Empire and we’re on the moral high ground for it.
