Politics – While the Bush administration keeps its focus on turning a disaster in Iraq into victory, it seems that Russia is not buying into the rhetoric that the United States is the only superpower.
Don't be afraid. The Democrats will negotiate with anyone that wants to harm us, like they did Alqaeda in the 90s. They cannot even negotiate with each other, much less a foreign threat.
Hmmm...That was Bush we just saw negotiating with Iran, huh?
The same Bush who totally CAVED IN to anything North Korea wanted?
Son of the Bush who (with Reagan and the GOP) helped arrange the hostage freedom in 1979-80?
As I recall, Clinton negotiated with AlQaida by sending cruise missiles as a care package.
But it'd be hard to negotiate with Putin. A nuclear armed nation that actually HAS AN INCOME, not a hemmorage of dollars, with no end in sight for them to get rich.
Last time, when everyone said that Russia lost the cold war, it was because they ran out of money.
Those chess playing Russians tricked us good into just "moving over" so they could do business. All in the last 7 or so years.
Then there're the Chinese...
Bush is intentionally baiting a known paranoid dictator.
At this point, when Bush's power is ending, Bush may be falling back on his Fundamentalist Christianity (who openly pray to God for the end of the world) and might ACTUALLY be trying to start World War III so he can remain past 2 terms "in a time of National Security threat" from the new expanded executive powers that he wrote in.
Are we going to sit back and wait while he really does it?
Seems like it. I mean my perception of Russia is that it is feeling hemmed in. We opening bases in Central Asia, admitting their former provinces into NATO (Latvia and Estonia)raising hell on one of its client states, Iran, pulled out of the ABM treaty and now Putin's pi$$ed about the missle defense shield. Maybe Putin feels that we're rubbing the fact that we won the cold war in his face and he's just trying to show that the Russian Bear is alive and kicking
Latvia and Estonia, and Lithuania, too, the largest of the Baltic states.
The fact that they aren't yet in the WTO doesn't help things for them, either.
Really, it's an election year in Russia, and Putin has to ratchet things up a bit so his hand-picked successor can just stroll in and assume command..... or else the bandits, crooks, and rich are in for a lot of trouble.

This timely new fear factor is pretty serendipitous for the warrior class. This helps both Putin and Bush, plus puts security threats back on center stage. Could be coincidental. Could be.
