I blogged recently that South Ossetia is Kosovo's bastard child and yesterday Russian Nationalist MP's confirmed it, by stating that "South Ossetia and Abkhazia had more rights to become recognised nations than Kosovo", which declared independence from Serbia earlier this year with support from the US and much of the European Union.
And in fact the link had been made in the Caucuses last January, when the Kososvo decision was being considered by the EU and US. Russia repeated this warning in February, and so we should not be surprised by what has now happened, certainly this blogger isn't - see our discussion of December 2007 .
The die has been cast for another round of wars in both the Balkans and the Caucuses, by these Russian declarations of support for separatist ethnic movements, just when these two benighted regions, looked to have a good democratic future in the EU.
PC politics by Western politicians will never replace "Realpolitik" in the world.
