    Great article!!!
    Might also mention that Gorbachev and all other Russian leaders have since the fall of the Soviet Union asked for partnership and a way of working together, USA has always chosen the strategy of "containment".

    Read Brzezinski's (J.Carters security advisor) "The Grand Chessboard" to learn more about US vision about a future Russia which is encirclement and dismembering to "contain them". US dominance in Eurasia for world supremacy. Very sick strategy with no respect for other nations in the persuit for world dominance, sadly this is US foreign policy.

    The USA is on the other side of the globe and has no territorial claim over Georgia and the Balkans. The US has lost so many wars in countries like Vietnam, Latin America, Cuba, Somalia, and ultimately Afghanistan and Iraq. After considering all possble scenarios the only conclusion I can make is that the US administration consists of just a bunch of lunatics.

    There is an interesting suggestion from Steve Levine. The Russians have a big weakness. The West should keep in mind Russia's Achilles Heel while dealing with Putin and Medvedev. Levine knows this area, having covered wars in Chechnya, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Tajikistan as well as the Soviet-Afghan war: http://oilandglory.com/2008/08/russias-achilles-heel.html

      Russia and the West are interdependent. The USA attacked Iraq, and the oil price became twice greater in
      some time. The oil price became twice greater, and it is harder for Americans to pay for their houses
      that were bought by hypothec. What will happen if you don't let Russia pump its energy to the West? I
      think the oil price will become twice greater slowly again. In such a way, the West can throw hundreds of
      Americans out of their houses. Dear Emilda, have you probably bought some stocks of oil companies and try to heat the situation to take profit? Let's build peace.

    "The consensus in Washington holds that a revanchist Russia must be stopped before it is too late."
    The US has already been on it for quite sometime, I would say even before the invasion of Iraq. Since the US have been preoccupied with other wars especially Afghnistan and Iraq Russia has used this advantage to consolidate its resources.

    The US has started the move against Russia by , persuading NATO to counter Russia, having military bases in the all over Europe and the Balkans, will be installing the missiles in Poland, having US military personnels and machines in Georgia, and a US fleet in the Ukraine waters. The US has also managed to test Russian capabilities during the Georgian conflict recently. It would not be a surprise if the US decided to withdraw its army from Iraq and compromise considerable amount of its objectives in there.

    There will be a new puppet in Pakistan and the US will start another fighting front from within Pakistan to eliminate the al-Qaeda and Talibans. Then the US will no more be preoccupied with both Afghanistan and Iraq thus the US can concentrate on Russia.

    This is also the reason why the US is not taking military action on Iran; moreover Israel is ever ready to take on any mischief in the middle-east. As for China, it is a no issue because its economy is still very fragile and too dependent on the US, moreover much of China's coffers have been siphoned out by the staging of the Olympics. The US has also made some arrangements with Tibet and has tested China with the recent unrests a few months before the Olympics. As for India, it will just keep quiet because the US has already agreed to construct the nuclear power stations recently. Latin America and Cuba have their ???own??? American made problems while the North Korean has been being forced into hibernation. Japan will only be playing lip service with not action since it not capable to fight any war. The UN is more or less defunct.

    So please don't be naive; the US has already planned, execute,monitor and control its progress in ensuring that the US will be the only superpower in this world. And it is too late for others to prevent that.

    Very balanced article, it is obvious that the author is not influenced by hysterical paranoia about Russia which is dominant in western media. In fact, much of the Russia's nervous behavior is actually triggered by the hostile attitude of western politicians.
