Brzezinski is very right.
Russia (the Soviet' KGB) in disguise has reached the point that they considered very ripe for this show of strenght to the rest of the world. They realized that America is weaker than before.
As i said before in another forum;-Joseph V.Stalin's forcible relocation of ethnic groups after the redrawing of the region's political map (during his turn as dreaded head of the Soviets) was the chief source of (internal) frictions of the 1990s in the Caucasus, obviously from there is the root of Abkhazia and South O. claim.
A person must be blind, ignorant (as many posting PRO- KGB comments) or accomplice to deny that since the reforms started in the Soviet Union, back in the mid 1980s, the DEATH'S SECRET BROTHERHOOD (KGB) never accepted it and ultimately did try to change the course (Aug. 1991).
Apparently, during all those years after that incident, they tolerated the changes and the overw. wish of freedom, a Continental Tsunami waving from Siberia to Berlin, but it was only to gain time. In the mean time the KGB reorganized its forces (its only option) and began their work from the darkness and silently-their best stage- for almost twenty years now they have been in the task.
Main objective: grab, take, get the Open Political Power in order to use the vast experience they had- during 70 years-to trick the West and USA playing the rythm of Democracy and Freedom, the wolf in lamb's clothes, that the free nations like to listen. They got the Power and then things started changin, slowly but sure, going back day to day towards the Soviet era. Political assassination, poissoning, demolition of any claim or rebellious attempt (Chechennia), intimidation and secret actions against the media, high spionage activity of any political opponent and on the former Soviet's territories, manipulation of any regional conflict to take advantages, exploitation of any international conflict to black mail or take advantages, double face and standards in their dealing with the rest of the world, especially with the West and USA.
Putin and comrades are very methodic indoctrinated, consistent and ideologically fundamentalist than the Ayattollahs, step by step they have been pushing forward, and as for the West, (they said) don't worry the free world is only trained to fight from the light, so we can handle them easilyfrom the darkness. So time has come, the price of oil was artificially manipulated to their advantage, Europe is natural gas dependent on Putin, Russian are scare as they were during Lavrenti Beria kingdom and the neighbors could be reached and souffocated as soon as the KGB wants.
The Republic of the KGB in full display, while Britain and USA are bussy in domestic issues and in the middle east. The KGB never was done and came back to stay, they knew the West weakest point: The freedom. And the KGB is a master of the lies and knows how to handle the West and USA perfectly.
Putin and cronies had played their dice magistraly, leaving the USA and the West shocked and without a coordinated answer-to candid, almost a silly approach to a red monster in disguise-and worse than that Mr.Putin still having visible and invisible resources, as always they did from the time of the Glasnot and Perestroika, remember that the KGB controlled back then unlimited financial and other resources only that they loss political power temporary and the USA swallowed the trick.
Today they are re-armed again, they have much more money, and the D. blade of Nuclear black mail, since they already timed up with Iran and China, is a sad reality , if not you have to ask yourself, from where Iran got and is going to get the technical support and materials for its nuclear program?
From where Col. Chavez and the Latin American leftis Govs. are getting the weapons?
America (USA) has been in a sweet dream and now is too late, the world has a new order and the Soviet could be setting the pace once again, Stalin should be having a party in hell.
We all togheter, ignorants and erudite are going to pay the price, it is only a matter of short time.
Then, the invasion of Georgia was not about Abkhazia or S. Ossettia, it was and still about a show of strenght, a challenge to the USA and the rest of the the World, the Soviets are taking their position in the new world and in addition it was about a punishment to Georgia and Georgian a kind of vendetta for the freedom seekers.
The Soviet (KGB) stroke back and the world is in a serious danger.
Once again, whether they like it or not you are very right Mr.Brzezinski.
