Lagniappe: Kosovo & Chechnya: Their Relationship in Perspective (+ Soviet Security Council, Military Doctrine)

refering to the article you have linked to. I want to clarify some things.

Russia is actually strong but is feining weakness, correct?
The bombing of Kosovo was setup by Moscow, correct?
The war in Chechnya is staged, correct?

And by the West ignoring/missing these things, the West is full of idiots.

Is that what the piece is stating?
