For Putin, a Line in the Sand
Keywords:
The issues surrounding Kosovo, the Russian feeling that the Ossetians have just as much right to decide their future. And the anxiety felt by Ukraine under Yushchenko, the President of Ukraine, who also is pursuing membership in NATO, and of the Baltic countries of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania. The issue of ethnic Russians and how they are being treated in these countries and in Ukraine, the additional factor of pro Russian parties in Ukraine. The need for an accomodation by both sides that does not end up in either Russian predominant influence- thus restricting the freedom of thesde countries to determine their own future or in poor treatment of ethnic Russians in these countries surrounding Russia- and the proper handling of the missile shield issue for installing western missiles in these former states that may be seen as provocative by Russia.
Russian intervention in Georgia to support ethnic Russians and the foreign policy implications.

Would this mark a return to a Cold War atmosphere. It would not. What it does is mark the limits to what Russia sees as American and NATO efforts to integrate the formerly Soviet countries of Ukraine and Georgia into NATO and the European Union. Even this is not certain as it may be Putin's response to NATO intervention in Kosovo inside Serbia.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
