Looking at the situation, from Vilnius, I doubt Henrys prediction.
Not that the 'bad intentions' were missing.  The Kremlin leader****p
needs 'enemies' for internal consuption and stability.  However
they cannot "chew gum, and walk" at the same time.  As it is
they are currently overburdened.  Currently Georgia and Ukraine
are the enemies of choice, and that already is proving to be
a burden.   Then there looms the switch at the top!!   Putin is
not Kasparov, looking ahead more then two moves would
overburden his brain.
