Realpolitik: I hope he wins for pure prgamtaic reasons. He possibly will stop the EU's insane influence on the Balkans that tries multikulti experiments that I cannot see to work in the long run and cannot see to work now, especially in Kosovo and Bosnia, and he will offer Moscow the platform in the region to become a power facotr on the scene, that the EU cannot afford and does not have the means to ignore. that way, it all saves the EU from itself and it's own ignorrance of unwanted but existing realities. I do not agree with the nationalistic tone, and in no way excuse things like warcrimes. as I aid - it is Realpolitik, not more, not less.

Interesting: the EU wanted democracy and freedom in palestine, and the Palistinians brought Hamas to power. The EU wanted a civilised way of doing politics in Lebanon, and the Hezbullah infiltrated the government and now is a state within the state. America demanded Esgypt to allow more freedom, and the muslim brotherhood immediately raised the number of parliamentary seats substantially. America said it wanted to remove Saddam to free the Irquis, and removing Saddam's strong fist set all the long-cooking ethnical and religious hate free and turned the country into chaos. The EU wanted the same on the Balkans, and Albania claimed Kosovo and the Mafia/UCK took it over.

Reason and tolerance are two nice thing, dear EU. But if you sit at the table with players that give **** about these things - you are screwed. You will never learn, I know, and will ignore that it is in opther's powers to ruin your beloved match by just not agreeing on your self-made rules, That's why I want the Russians in place to confront you with a solid wall in your way that you cannot pass, so that you may be protected from your own follies and their longtermed negative conseqeunces.

that all has nothing to do with sympathies for Serbia, or Russia. It is - realpolitik, and willing the election victory (eventually) of that extremist, and using the Russian to stop the EU, are just tools to implement it, and prevent greater damages. Damages to Europe I mean, not necessarily Serbia. I have no deal whatever with Serbia, neither in good, nor in bad.

It all is about islam too, of course. the EU certainly is bitterly determined not to stop but to assist the spread of Islam in that region and europe in general, but where the EU is failing miserably, the Russians and slavic people and the orthodox church hopefully are more determined to try to stop islam marching on the Balkans and into europe again. Having experienced the threats of Islam in their own sphere and having been confronted by islam much more directly than the EU (which is being taken with soft power from within), the russians have a lot less illusions about it, than Europeans. I am absolutely sure that Putin's poltiical analysis rates Islam as the top strategic threat and challenge beside the the US and NATO. If that knowledge will be enough to counter the negative effects of the demographic facts, must be questioned, but at least Putin is aware. Things like the Nashi movement are directed against the Western infuence and Islam as well as they are directed to the inside, by putting a course that brings more young ones into line with the official state, and make them think positive about Russian law and order, instead of alcoholism and drugs and decline of culture and values.
