There is a falacy that we are all guilty off! We attribut too much intelegence to Russian leadership. These people have no real long term policy, they navigate from day to day, and they do all possible to survive, politically and phiscally! Their actions are dominated by wishful thinking. There is no long term policy in Crimlin! Maybe you remember Hakawi Indians in the F-Toops? This how Russians today! So, we must not exaggerate their capacity not to over-reach! They now will attach Chechens, then if it doesn't work, they will do something elese! This is how most 5 years Soviet Plans worked, brinkmanship! So don't be so sure about your Lebed theory! This is only a thoery and nohting else!
As for Lebed, since I don't have access to CIA, KGB or SMERSH files, then I have to rely on mass media and some friends in Dipolmatic Corp, and my horse-sense! |
