Russian Rage Against Holbrooke et. al.

The rage against the U.S.A. expressed at a meeting in Moscow represents an obvious shift from what had been Russia's policy toward relations with the U.S.A., a rage prompted by the familiar Balkan issue posed to a large constituency in Russia by revival of the issue of the continuing role played by Richard Holbrooke, in the case of Radovan Karadzic.

Shades of August 1914. Although Czar Nicholas II was clearly aware of the intention of his uncle, Britain's King Edward VII. to trap Russia in an alliance against Germany through Russian passions lured into a new Balkan war, the Czar sent Russia to its virtual doom, and that of his family, through allowing himself to be trapped by this British plot.

Related passions over this same Balkan matter have been recently heated from London, and the passions this evokes among significant circles inside Russia, are still a strategic factor in the present global situation. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's avowed attachment to the (H.G.) Wells association in the U.S.A., has been a key factor of her and Holbrooke's role in this region, while she was Secretary, and now.
