<<For the first time opposition parties are united against the U.S. and NATO nations taking action in the Balkans. This can be used as a political "rallying point" to win public support for an opposition party that would be anti-West. Hence the restarting of the cold war ... which was on it's way to being over through economic integration ... but we interrupted it with out new-world interventism in the Blakans>>

Its going to be interesting to see what happens after Yeltsin leaves. I would disagree with your analysis of Russia's economic "integration" however. I would call it IMF induced "disintegration." But thats another subject. I brought this subject up on the WWIII thread a while ago, and I believe it was Neocon that suggested a scenario I had not thought of that is also a possibility aside from neo-Stalinism or nuclear civil war in the former USSR, namely, the wholesale collapse of Russia as a state.

Russia has already nearly lost everything that Catherine gained. It may very well be that Peter's Russia finally collapses under the weight of 1000 years of Russian history and is reduced once again to Muscova. Who knows what will happen when the chit hits the fan?
