Russia lends Serbia its spies

In many Russian cities, volunteers to fight Nato in Serbia are being signed up. It is unlikely that they will be sent to the Balkans during the next few weeks, but if the conflict becomes protracted it may be that Russian soldiers with battle experience in Chechnya will be sent to Yugoslavia.

Russia has spoken out against Nato expansion, viewing it as an example
of how the West is taking advantage of Russia's temporary weakness.
Many observers in Russia are dreaming seriously of creating a
strategic alliance with Iran, India, Iraq and, if at all possible,
China. However, apart from Belarus, the only realistic proximate ally
for Russia at present is Serbia. That is why Russia is giving
Milosevic such massive support.

One day the US is going to have a very rude awakening.

Abner,

I think you are right. This NATO war on a
soverign nation could be the trigger for a
real nationalist to seize power in Russia.
As I understand it, there are Russian volun-
teers now going to Yugoslavia to assist in
the civil war. They are going to get drawn
into the conflict. They actually have far
more interest in the outcome of this conflict
than the United States.
