Russia could use force in Kosovo

Russia's ambassador to Nato, Dmitry Rogozin, has warned that Russia could use military force if the Kosovo independence dispute escalates.

"If the EU develops a unified position or if Nato exceeds its mandate set by the UN, then these organisations will be in conflict with the UN," he said.

In that case Russia would "proceed on the basis that in order to be respected we need to use brute force", he said.

Many EU members have recognised Kosovo, but several oppose recognition.

Also Friday, Russia -- which has not recognized Kosovo's sovereignty -- said it has not ruled out using force to resolve the dispute over the territory if NATO forces breach the terms of their U.N. mandate.

"If the EU works out a single position or if NATO steps beyond its mandate in Kosovo, these organizations will be in conflict with the U.N., and then I think we will also begin operating under the assumption that in order to be respected, one needs to use force," Moscow's ambassador to NATO Dmitry Rogozin said, in comments carried by Russia's Interfax news agency.

A spokesman for Russia's Foreign Ministry also warned that Kosovo's declaration would have a "negative impact."

"What happened in Belgrade yesterday is regrettable. But we would want to draw your attention to the fact that the forces that supported the unilateral recognition of Kosovo's independence should have realized the effects of the move," spokesman Mikhail Kamynin told Interfax.

Russia...................do you really want to start a cold war again??? You lost, face it. See since you lost, we have continued building new weapons and such, while you haven't.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

If we are looking for a President to blame my choice is Clinton.

In their warped minds, history began in 2001 and everything bad that happens is Bush's fault.

I suspect as soon as St. Obama speaks in favor of independence, the DUmp monkeys will change their tune.

I'm all for letting the EU paddle its own canoe on this one.

Heck, I dunno if I can go that far.

I'm curious to know what Russia stands to lose via material benefit, security or prestige. If they want to chase their myth of pan-Slavism they are welcome to do so with the Serbs.

Perhaps Clinton did involve us in the Balkans but it in no-wise posed a credible threat to

I'm also curious as to how the nation that could barely pacify Azerbijian (and even then has all but shrugged it off) hopes to press west into central southern Europe let alone threaten NATO/EU forces.
