The impression is that Russia wants to reposition itself clearly as a re-established global power before the United States elects a new president in the fall of 2008. American pre-election tactics, Washington’s difficult Middle East campaign, and high oil and gas prices give Russia an opportunity to accelerate its comeback. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that Moscow will seek an extreme diplomatic crisis with Washington in the coming months and years. Instead, it will presumably formulate a broad proposal, designed to re-negotiate its strategic relations with the West. Briefly said, Russia wants to re-negotiate what it had to do in 1990-1992 from a weak position, during its deep political, economic, and military crisis that followed the perestroika years.
