I came across an insightful but disturbing article on the situation we've gotten ourselves into regarding the resurging Russians and our military focus on the Islamic-extremists. This is from Stratfor, an intelligence gathering organization that spits out analysis of Geo-political issues and events. If you're interested, you can subscribe to a weekly email analysis from them like I did. So far, they're analysis has been pretty right on.
If you don't want to spend the time reading the full article, the Cliff-notes version is that Russia is taking advantage of our stretched military resources to reassert influence over some of their former Soviet Union countries, such as Georgia. They know that we won't/can't pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan to confront them and make them pull back. So we're going to have to sit back and watch the ol' Russian bear start to rumble again and become a thorn in our side for decades.
The article didn't mention this, but I'm saying that this is just one more of a million reasons why we cannot elect that lightweight Obama as President. The Russians would eat his lunch!
