Yay for Kosovo! This Balkan hotspot once again finds itself the epicenter of a global power battle as Russia and the West continue the political struggle over Kosovo's future. Apparently the international rift over Kosovo's independence is contributing to a "Cold War-style chill settling over Europe" even if it may not result in any direct, immediate conflict.
Here is a link to an article about some of these developments.
I also found an interesting article called "Criminalization of the State" from The Center for Research on Globalization that claims the Kosovo Liberation Army and the current government is basically a terrorist supporting, drug smuggling mafia (glad we've got a mob class planned) propped up by the powerful NATO and American military presence in the region, which is quite impressive, make sure you check out Cheney's bastion, the Massive U.S. military base Camp Bondsteel referred to as a smaller Guantanamo built by Haliburton to protect military and economic interests in the Balkans.
On that note thought I would include a video from Russia Today of John Bolton criticizing U.S. foreign policy and talking about the possibility of a rise in Islamic terrorism and regional instability if Kosovo's independence is recognized.
