don't ask
the West for money, or assistance! We must cut-off all the aids.>>>

Yaacov, that is exactly what Russian nationalist are saying.."Must accept no help from the West", they nationalised all foreign property in 1917-22, militarised the country and likely would do it all over again....Financing is easy-weapons, uranium, oil...confiscation of property, kidnapping wealthy Russian Nationals in other countries....lot of money to make from Cold War....not much from hot...

Yaacov, Good analysis of the Russian/Serbian relationship! Russia bears watching (no puns intended), especially if someone like Primakov succeeeds Yeltsin.... And agreed the Balkans have lived up to their reputation as a miserable place to conduct a military campaign.

Remember too that even the up to then invincible Huns got bogged down and defeated in 455AD by a combined Roman/German force in the Balkans.....
