n the face of mounting tensions, Vladimir Putin’s overarching strategic objective is now clear: to dismantle NATO and expose the alliance’s vulnerabilities. With Russia experiencing setbacks in Ukraine, the immediate threat to NATO members like Poland and the Baltic States may be somewhat mitigated. However, it is in the Balkans where NATO ’s weakest flank lies, presenting an opportune target for Russia’s ambitions.

This escalation is a dream come true for Moscow. Serbia and Russia have been preparing the Serbs for escalations in Kosovo for months, inflaming tensions in the Balkans to distract the West from its war in Ukraine. They have flooded the information space with propaganda repeating the old claim that Kosovo belongs to Serbia – one propaganda item argued that the UK is preparing a war there. As any student of Balkan history knows, such rhetoric has ignited ethnic violence in the region before.

Moscow's openly stated long term goals is to reconstitute the pre-Bolshevik Empire, enslaving all the peoples of eastern Europe and central Asia, which is why NATO had to be formed, and why it must be kept strong.
I wonder what percentage of this is propaganda? All, part or none.
If you believe the Telegraph/MI6/NeoCon lies after decades of their wars and our nation’s bankruptcy, I feel sorry for you.
I don’t give a *hit.
The USA is going down the tubes spending wildly intoxicated.
This nation cannot continue to live beyond its means and this is nothing more than chaff to distract.

I’m sure that with Ukraine running out of money, and running out of options, we will suddenly mysteriously see “Russian” missiles flying out of Odessa and hitting populated areas in poland.
All. It’s a grift faking a war.
Ok...”Chad”
NATI has advanced 1000 miles to the east since the end of Soviet Union.
Putin has been like Chamberlain all this time and did nothing until it was almost at his doorstep
Now we’ll get to see how NATO fights after having exhausted its supply of ground weapons in Ukraine.
Most likely they’ll have to bomb the crap out of Serbian civilians in Belgrade again, you know, just for sport.
Pronounced "I wanna Stratfor"
Yeah but Russia does not have the power the Soviet Union used to have before it collapsed.
Now it's a corrupt dictatorship with nuclear weapons.
Chad - you might want to check in with Slovakia, which has apparently been tapped out for weaponry by the relentless grinding Russian attrition in The Ukraine.
Time to go check the Slovakia election results, too!
Time to show the World what we stand for, the US/NATO can now resume bombing Christian Serbian Children to help protect Albanian Terrorist Muslim Ethnic Cleansers invading Kosovo.
Those Cluster Bombs NATO used are particularly effective, ... for years.
Ping
I'll tell Dr. Zhivago.
Actually, since the American experiment seems to have resulted in failure, maybe the pre-Bolshevik Empire isn't such a bad idea(?)
Start caring about this country, for God’s sake.
I don’t give a damn about Putin and especially don’t give a damn about Ukraine.
