Vladimir Putin was a KGB spy, indoctrinated and brainwashed.
He essentially a soul from the Soviet era who is trying hard to bring back that
old military glory back to the Russian
Federation. He is smart, calculated and
ruthless. In the new circumstances Russia
under the leadership of Putin is enjoying some unusual advantages in the world
stage. I would say these advantages are created by the United
States under President Bush. The wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan
have distracted the United States
from some very important issues which were brewing up in Europe.
Russian took advantage from this distraction and consolidated its position. The
relation between Europe and the United
States also underwent some realistic and
radical changes. The post cold war Europe is not afraid
of any aggression from the East anymore. They have forged a powerful political
and economic union and needs more energy to run their economic power houses
which they don't have and the United States
is in no position to supply them with energy which Russia
can. This dire economic reality was understood by the Russians.
This aggression on tiny Georgia
by Russia is
just a tip of the iceberg. Europe's very timid response
which is on the verge of appeasement is a glaring example how they care about
their relations with their big eastern neighbour, Russia.
It's interesting to note that how the weakest of Europe,
such as Estonia,
Latvia, and Ukraine
came to show solidarity with Georgia
when the German chancellor used the word 'Slightly" to describe the degree of Russia's
aggression in Georgia.
I don't think those days are there anymore when Britain
declared war against Germany
when Hitler destroyed the state of Czechoslovakia
in 1939.
