Looks like it isn't good luck or a good idea to be a journalist that has some criticism for the Putin goverment. Fourteen suspiciously dead journalist during the Putin administration. Being a guy that likes statistics, this seems a bit too coincidental not to mention Putin's KGB background and I feel a bit skeptical on the accidental death conclusion for a few of these people.

| Why Russia Is Flexing Its Muscles Thursday, Aug. 23, 2007 By MARK THOMPSON/WASHINGTON Moscow's latest saber-rattling - flying long-range bomber patrols toward the U.S. and Britain, launching planes from its sole aircraft carrier, redeploying the Russian fleet to the Mediterranean, engaging in war games with China and several central Asian nations - doesn't mean the Cold War has returned. What it does signal is Russia's willingness, emboldened by the oil wealth once again flowing to the government, to begin reasserting its historic role as a strategic counterweight to Washington. And if it can't quite muster the heft to do that alone, Moscow is increasingly allying with other nations to challenge America's global hegemony. Geopolitical rivalry long predates the United States and the Soviet Union, of course; it dates back to the days of the Roman Empire. And the revival of such competition between Washington and Moscow is no surprise given Russia's recovery from its weakened position in the 1990s, which saw its regional and global influence dramatically reduced. But an oil price of $70 a barrel oil has filled the Kremlin's coffers and allowed it to pump money into its military. And the increased spending comes on the heels of a series of moves by Washington that has upset Russia anew, ranging from NATO enlargement and proposed missile-defense sites in the Czech Republic and Poland, to the Iraq war. At least partly in response, Russia recently planted a titanium reproduction of its flag at the North Pole, test-fired a new ballistic missile supposedly capable of thwarting Washington's fledgling missile shield, and has blocked moves at the U.N. aimed at granting Kosovo formal independence from Russia's ally, Serbia. |

| Georgia: Russian Jet Fired Missile By MISHA DZHINDZHIKHASHVILI 08.08.07, 8:39 PM ET TBILISI, Georgia - Georgia said Wednesday that radar data proves Russian jets violated its airspace and fired a missile, and it urged the U.N. Security Council to hold an emergency meeting on the "act of aggression." Moscow suggested that Tbilisi was overreacting, as long-simmering tensions between the two neighbors spiked again. The U.S. State Department condemned what it called the "attack against Georgia." Spokesman Sean McCormack praised "Georgia's continuing restraint" and called for an urgent clarification of the facts. |

Whether Putin is flexing his own muscles or flexing his military might, he's certainly causing a bit of an uproar. Let's hope this situation doesn't get to the point where war breaks out ... it doesn't matter between which countries, war should be the last option on the table.
