The recognition of South Ossetia's and Abkhazia's independence by Russia is
a timely step to protect these republics from new Georgian aggression.
However, taking into account the United States' plans to expedite Georgia's
and
Ukraine's accession to the NATO military-political bloc, the situation near
the
Russian border remains alarming. At the same time Moscow has a lot of
possibilities to take balanced counter measures to the United States' and
entire
NATO's unfriendly plans. In particular, Russia can rely on those countries
that
effectively oppose the United States' and their satellites' expansion. Only
collective efforts can help to create a situation which would, if not
eliminate then at least reduce the risk of the Cold War's transformation into
local
and global conflicts.
For instance, Moscow could strengthen its military-technical ties with Syria
and launch negotiations on the reestablishment of its military presence in
Cuba. However, the most serious step which the United States and especially
Israel fear (incidentally, Israel supplied arms to Georgia) is hypothetical
revision of Russia's foreign policy with regard to Iran. A strategic alliance
presuming the signing of a new large-scale military political treaty with Iran
could change the entire geopolitical picture of the contemporary world.
