Another View of Russia

While we are concerned about a Russian military resurgence, Marshall Goldman, who has spent a lifetime studying the country, has other concerns:
Russia today has become more powerful relative to Europe than it has been since Napoleon, a situation that is all but certain to make the Europeans less willing than the United States to challenge Russian policies. Energy may accomplish for the Russians what the Soviet and Russian armies by themselves could not.
