Re: Is Europe ready for military confrontation wit (none / 0)

The Russian move was aggressive? Interesting you don't qualify NATO's moves as being aggressive.

Isn't that implied in what nanne said?

The occupation of the airport was an aggressive move by Russia after they felt they had been double-crossed in the negotiations.

NATO's moves in Kosovo were clearly aggressive (dropping bombs and all). I don't know enough about the negotiations to tell whether the Russian sentiment of being double-crossed is justified.
