Looking around the newpapers this morning, I am beginning to wonder whether the Russian tactics orchestrated by the ex-KGB thugs in the Kremlin are beginning to unravel. Yes, they are still holding Georgia hostage, and I will believe the withdrawal when I actually see it, but the knock-on effect is beginning to draw countries that surround Russia more westwards. The Ukraine has offered to share with the west its early warning radar data and the crass Russian statement that Poland is a target will only make existing links stronger.
Ironically, the action in Georgia could isolate Russia even more.

Time to re-open radar sites
The behavior of Putin at the moment means that the cold-war is restarting and that we in the west will be part of it. Reconnaissance Bears are now approaching our shores again , although not in the numbers of 20+ years ago.
As part of the peace dividend we closed down and centralized our radar assets, major sites including Buchan and Saxa Vord have either been downgraded or in the latter case actually closed.
Think its time to re-open

The Bear's Claws
As the world's attention is diverted towards Beijing, I see that the Russians have interceded in a separarist fight in Georgia (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7548715.stm). The antics of the ex-KGB man is beginning to get worrying. Russia seems to be regressing back about 30 years.
