Re: What Russia wants

This article Elson posted helps offer one potential answer to my question about 
who would ally with the US.  Perhaps, along with Israel and the UK, we'd see 
Russia, Turkey and India join with the US, a sort of alliance of 
semi-peripheral bullies given a free hand to do what they want against the 
minority groups they have problems with (this is what Robert Kagan recommends). 
 At the same time, Europe clearly wants to be friends with Russia (presumably 
this has something to do with the alleged willingness of France to fold if 
Russia goes along with the US on Iraq).
