A replay of "The Guns of August"?

Chechen muslims + Kosovo, Russians + Serbs = proxy war.

The loss of some allies and we get to be shown as willing to accept dhimmi status.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

That’s about the only things I see.

[kingattax]

did they rebuild the maginot line ?

Putin was always serbia’s ally.

We get a second independent Muslim state in Europe - dedicated, of course, to the religion of peace (trade mark pending.)

If Serbia loses Kosovo under this logic, then Russia loses Chechnya.

That was the Second World War. Incidentally, in the First World War, the Austrians pushed Serbia out of their country into Greece, where they stayed for several years until the tide of war tipped against Austria.

england loses scotland.

spain loses the basques

cyprus loses its northern part of the island

Greece loses its northwest near turkey.

Canada is just sliced up to itty bitty parts.

stupid is as stupid does.

[longtermmemmory]

just more proof the state department answers to no administration. It is self ruling unelected desk jockeys.

As their invited guest, NATO gets to ask Putin about Iran at their meeting in Bucharest on April 2-4. Putin has invited President Bush to join him at Sochi on the Black Sea after the meeting for further talks.

Just who is running our foreign policy? We shove Kosovo in Putin's face then ask for his help on Iran?
