Well this has all the hallmarks of the coldwar era.the russian president does not like something and immediately as a way of increasing pressure on the russians,president Bush tightens the screws on them by declaring that independence should be granted to Kosovo.but that may not happen right away seeing that Russia would be in no mind to oblige the americans on this issue and take this with the fact that Kosovo terrorists have killed many number of innocent russian civilians.
Whats more,this may soon turn out into a prestige issue for the russian president Vladimir Putin with the elections not that far away in Russia.the russian people have very strong feeling where Kosovo is concerned and Serbia would in no way let its emotional heartland break away from it irrespective of any united nations ordinance on it.all in all russia may just up the ante by supporting Iran in its nuclear quest as well as making sure that the oil pipeline project that Iran has with pakistan and India goes through at all costs.all of the above are just surmises but it is also to highlight the way that events may turn out shortly in the near future.President Bush declared in Albania that enough was enough and that the united nations should recognize Kosovo as an independent republic.that has indeed set the ball rolling and now we all have to wait an see what Russia does back in return.the 'cold war' it seems,ladies and gentlemen,is not over!
