The US establishment for years gloated about the end of the Cold War and treated Russia like Wiemar Germany. In February 1990, Bush Sr. and his secretary of state, James Baker, promised Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not move eastward. This is what Gorbachev wrote after Clinton start pushing NATO eastward: "The issue is not just whether Czechs, Hungarians and Poles join NATO. The problem is more serious: the rejection of the strategy for a new, common European system agreed to by myself and all the Western leaders when we ended the Cold War. . . . I feel betrayed by the West. The opportunity we seized on behalf of peace has been lost. The whole idea of a new world order has been completely abandoned." (Mikhail Gorbachev, quoted by Hang Separately by Leon V. Sigal, 2000.)

The Barents Sea, which Russia claims to be its territory may have over 580 billions barrels of oil. For comparison, the oil reserves of Saudi Arabia are estimated at 260 billion barrels.

"if forced to choose between life and sausage, we choose life." Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin
"Russia 'could destroy NATO ships in Black Sea within 20 minutes'-a former fleet commander
"it was the loss of the last illusion - that the current world security system is reliable. We must create a different security system.” "The world has changed almost in an instant after those events. It came to my mind that for Russia, August 8 is almost like 9/11 for America.” President Medvedev

In America Forty six million Americans don't have medical cover and 28 million survive on food stamps.The U.S. crisis has caused panic around the world. America, some experts say, needs the help of cash-rich countries to solve the crisis - countries like China, Russia and the Arab world.

Russia has exercised a strong determination to rise from its knees, although it has not stood out yet. Its actions in South Ossetia and Georgia have tested Russia’s military, diplomatic and political possibilities. It seems that Moscow has been winning the fierce fight in foreign policy, although it does not intend to win the fight at all costs. The Caucasian knot became a classic example of the beginning of a global crisis. The crisis appeared at the time, when Russia decided to pass from words to deeds for the first time in its recent history. The West is obviously surprised and scared.
