How far will Russians go ?

If Russia wants to restore law and order, let them do it. The last thing we need is another war.

the word your looking for is hegemony. it will be interesting to see what the m.c.p.c. (multicultural politically correct) eunuchs do. the jabbertalks vs the jabberwocks.

Maybe we should start a thread asking how quick the Russians will give up? I am betting within 3 to 6 months. And that they will never actually use force at all.


You forgot to put "law and order" in quotes.

Who cares what they do?

Well, I care if they interfere with our agenda.

But I dont see that happening. They have nothing to gain and a lot to lose. They are pragmatists, not idealists.

So they are just like us, then. OK.

If we were just like them, we would not be recognizing Kosovo right now.

We are like them. Pragmatist. We just disagree on some issue that doesn't matter. So what?

Then why did we do something that is not pragmatic? What practical gain do we get from Kosovo?

Our actions dont support your claim.
