The first order of business should not be some sort of punishment. Russia has to decide how much it wants to isolate itself from the world. We don’t want to have a bad relationship with Russia. We’ve never wanted that.<\/em>\u00bb) Lobe note que le facteur europ\u00e9en (l’opposition des Europ\u00e9ens \u00e0 une politique anti-russe dure) commence \u00e9galement \u00e0 jouer son r\u00f4le dans la prudence de Washington.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abIncreasing tensions with Moscow further, according to senior officials and independent analysts, could seriously jeopardize other top foreign policy interests, including Washington’s hopes for applying additional pressure, particularly through the U.N. Security Council, on Iran to halt its nuclear program. It could prompt Russia to suspend an agreement that permits NATO use Russian and Central Asian bases and air space to supply its troops in Afghanistan.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbA more-aggressive stance could also harm relations with key European allies, such as Germany, France, and Italy, which are eager to tamp down tensions, in part due to their own heavy investments in Russia’s economy and dependence on gas supplies.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbU.S. officials are also reluctant to address the question of additional military aid in light of the Georgian armed forces’ poor performance during the war the army retreated in chaos at the first contact, while all of its warships were destroyed in port and what some of them describe as the recklessness of Saakashvili himself in ordering the attack on Tskhinvali that triggered Russia’s offensive.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tLe paradoxe de cette situation est que cette prudence n’est nullement prise en compte, \u00e9ventuellement au cr\u00e9dit de Washington pour ceux qui, hors des USA, sont favorables \u00e0 une approche mesur\u00e9e du probl\u00e8me. On ne retient de l’attitude de Washington que sa dialectique dure contre la Russie, son action de communication dont le voyage de Cheney fait partie (et aussi la rh\u00e9torique de soutien inconditionnel \u00e0 la G\u00e9orgie des deux candidats \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sidence). L’impuissance des USA est r\u00e9elle, mais elle n’emp\u00eache pourtant pas que les USA soient enferm\u00e9s dans une position per\u00e7ue comme belliciste, provocatrice et qui contribue \u00e0 emp\u00eacher une solution constructive du probl\u00e8me. Le paradoxe est bien que, si l’on parle souvent de l’isolement de la Russie, le seul pays vraiment isol\u00e9 dans cette crise, c’est pour l’instant les USA.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Les premiers \u00e9chos du voyage de Cheney dans la r\u00e9gion de crise (Caucase, avec visite en Azerba\u00efdjan, Ukraine et G\u00e9orgie) sembleraient r\u00e9sumer cette sortie \u00e0 une simple tourn\u00e9e de relations publiques.
