<<Don't bet on Russia's mob-ocracy ability to restrain the will of the people. Facing civil-war or war they will choose war.>>

And in doing so Russia will dissolve. They're broke and the only thing keeping the ship afloat is Western money. Last spring the Russian government opened up the printing presses to pay its debts. That is the death knell of any economy. By the time Russian troops reached the Balkans, there wouldnt be a Russia.

Notice how Yeltsin decided that "it wasnt necessary" to send the rest of the Black Sea Fleet into the Mediterranean? More like they couldnt scrape up the change to pay for the spare parts for the ships and pay for the sailors.
