Russia: King for a Day

Russia: King for a Day

Russia is warning the world, or at least the United Nations, which represents the world, and the EU, not to fool around in Kosovo, or we may slap your hands, or perhaps start a nuclear war, or perhaps, stop sending them oil, or perhaps, not talk to them for a month. Not sure what they can do, but they are warning the world all the same: do not send troops into Kosovo. No one has paid full attention to them yet, but who knows, maybe they will. I am happy the EU has thus far, told them in so many words, hush up, we can, and we may. Although, the EU is really a weak set of states, if it comes to push and shove, I think they would fall over with a blow of wind, if not for the United States NATO, and even NATO, is not brave enough to fight Russia alone, without the nuclear backup of the arsenal the United States has around the world. So why be so daring when you know, the price can be so High? It is called a bluff. If the EU falls for it, then they might just as well hang it up in the future, they will be bullied about, isn’t that how it usually goes, an old game from my high school days. But if you get a lot of NATO soldiers in the Kosovo, then Kosovo feels safe to part its ways with Serbia, and that is bad news for Moscow. They don’t want another free thinking country over there—do they?
