Stratfors chief George Friedman back from Russia, Some interesting comments as follows. Russians strength is that they can endure things that would break other nations... For me the most important lesson I might have learned in Russia — might being the operative term — is that Russians dont respond to economic pressure as Westerners do, In the Russian view, having redrawn the map of Serbia, the West has no right to object to redrawing the map of Ukraine... As difficult as it is for Russians to understand, nearly half a century of a Cold War left the United States hypersensitive to the possible re-emergence of Russia. The United States spent the past century blocking the unification of Europe under a single, hostile power. What Russia intends and what America fears are very different things. stratfor/weekly/viewing-russia-inside#axzz3NELFAGyn
