With the spread of NATO states, along with others seeking membership, and of course the break up of the Soviet empire and the lose of those states as well. There's Kosovo's independence and the U.S. putting missiles in their back yard. None of this is very palpable to the former KGB agents running Russia. On top of that, they have empire envy. Much like other envies, it's all about size..Jeff Willshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05943209290786814576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719362718346107647.post-60478526816989973182008-08-27T06:21:00.000-04:002008-08-27T06:21:00.000-04:00I think that the collapse of the Soviet Union left...I think that the collapse of the Soviet Union left an indelible psychological imprint on its rulers who remain haunted by the experience.

Right now Russia thinks that they can get away with anything, that the US is weak, that they can walk all over us.<BR/><BR/>We need to step up to the plate and take them out.Findalishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881549378886491540noreply@blogger.com
