I've written a couple of times of the missile conflict in Georgia (see 'Russian or not - the fighter bomber?' and 'Russian fighter bomber - Follow up'). We do not yet know the truth of the missile incident, but the undeniably grown aggressiveness of Russian foreign policy has led Georgia to decide to join the NATO radar system.
In the near future NATO shall receive real time information on all incidents in the Georgian airspace. By her own bullying policy Russia keeps pushing her neighbors to join forces with the west. After a long period of positive development, Russia is again actively growing international tension, and taking distance from the unifying world.
Russia does not seem to want international harmony. Instead they prefer being a big and strong and respected nation. But once again I must repeat, that instead of gaining the respect, their policy will end up only in making enemies.
Blinkers on:Putin and Bush wanting to take their different turns.
Welcome back cold war. Welcome back bi-polar world. - It appears that the old Finnish slogan is true after all: "Russian will be Russian, even if you fried him in butter".
