The OSCE lauded the Moldova elections (see today's EDM). The US or EU has not backed the opposition because there are only a ragtag group of pissed-off kids burning shit and turning over cars (no one can agree on a cutesy name for the "revolution" yet -- a sure sign that this is not political organization).<BR/><BR/>For the moment, Moldova is a black swan. Therefore, the initial reactions are instinctual rather than deft geopolitical manoeuvrings. <BR/><BR/>This card on US and Russia's geopolitical deck is a 10 of spades. <BR/><BR/>Also, every time there is a glint of a difference of views are we gonna bring up the reset button? <BR/><BR/>The reset button is START, missile defense, NATO relations. Medvedev-Obama signed an agreement last week to move forward on START. <BR/><BR/>Goings on in Moldova certainly apply to CFE, but US-Russia relations have retooled themselves for START and WTO entry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
