Why Russia (Likely) Won't Go To War Over Kosovo
Despite dire warnings from the Kremlin and elsewhere of world war over Kosovo, and despite my own un-Pollyannish view of Russia's potential, I do not believe World War III will start in the Balkans in the near future. I believe this both because Russia has much less stake in the Balkans than in the Caspian, and also because the Russian state is much more stable than it has been in some time. Even the top Communist member of the Cabinet has attacked proposals for "rethinking" Russian military doctrine in the face of NATO action in Yugoslavia. This is more a matter of Russia maintaining some sort of balance of power in the world by siding with America's enemies.
