Feeling threatened

Article Abstract:

Russia-NATO relations have been strained by the conflict in Kosovo and the Russian opinion that the West has marginalized and compromised their position. As former Soviet Union republic separatist movements arise, many Russians fear NATO will soon threaten Russian national sovereignty. If military operations continue, Russia will be forced to end its cooperation with NATO, possibly leading to nuclear escalation.
