"The history of the new Russian state shows that the new Russian lead has no desire to re-establish the Soviet Union or invade other countries. What they want is normal busines with the EU and the US, making Russia a part of the western world. Territorial expansion is certainly not on their list of priorities."

this is correct, but it comes with a caveat - once the breaking point is reached, there's not much chance of closing the box. but, you have to understand that the pnac is pushing this. they want russia to react with force, so they can piss away the wealth they're building up. it's a part of the destabilization process.
