A New Kind of War

BBC News: Reports that the West is furious with the Russian President for his declaration that Russia would recognise the Independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The question is what is next, is this a new Cold War, no as the Old Soviet Empire is not more, most the Satellites of the Old Soviet Union is in the European Union and NATO. A threat to Poland would be a threat to the USA and the West. The Russians might be drunk on power, but not they are not stupid. The next flash point will be the Ukraine, the Russians will start to give out Russian passports to the ethnic Russians in Georgia. The President of Ukraine has called for the Ukraine to be allowed in to NATO. The West has to draw a line in the sand for the Russian bear, they have gained two Georgian Satellites but no more, the USA should give the Ukraine a security guarantee, an attack on the Ukraine would be an attack on the West. Russia is a hoodie in need of a ASBO. A once great Imperial and Soviet Power is now but child who wants all the shop, while his parents, e.g the Russian people have pay the price, a freeze from the West.
