Consequently, Russia will eventually make us pay a high price in other aspects of our national security portfolio for this international sleight-of-hand.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbWhat saddens me is that I have learned from a source close to the Kremlin that the Russians secretly suggested a road map and time table for Kosovo independence to the Bush administration. The Russians would never have been pleased with Kosovo going it alone but there were things to manage Russian issues with Georgia, Serbia, Kosovo and the region that could have been simultaneously managed to keep both sides from undermining the other.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe Russians believe that their suggestions were ignored because the U.S. wanted to be able to declare a victory which is harder to do when negotiating outcomes that are face-saving to both sides.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tVoici donc la cause centrale de la position US: \u00abbecause the U.S. wanted to be able to declare victory.<\/em>\u00bb La simplicit\u00e9 et la stupidit\u00e9 de l’argument nous invitent pareillement \u00e0 le prendre avec le plus grand s\u00e9rieux. C’est effectivement de cette fa\u00e7on que fonctionne aujourd’hui la diplomatie US, ou ce qui en tient lieu. Et la diplomatie occidentale applaudit et s’en r\u00e9jouit, tenant la pr\u00e9sence US en Europe pour une cause fondamentale de stabilit\u00e9. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Pourquoi les USA \u00e9taient-ils tant acharn\u00e9s en faveur de l’ind\u00e9pendance du Kosovo? Les hypoth\u00e8ses abondent mais vraiment rien de convaincant. Tout le monde sait par ailleurs que l’ind\u00e9pendance va \u00e0 un nouveau pays dont les milieux politiques dirigeants sont hautement suspects, avec des connexions mafieuses, ill\u00e9gales, des liens de corruption et de banditisme divers.
