Is anyone else getting a sense of déjà vu?

The United States has provocatively been going forward with plans to base its son-of-the-son-of-the-son-of-Star Wars missile "defence" system in Eastern Europe. This has the Russians rather worried. After all they do have great deal of oil and natural gas and the Bush administration has shown its willingness to use force in places that have considerable fossil fuel reserves.

So how do they react? They up the ante. Perhaps this time the Russians will force America to spend its way into bankruptcy and the IMF could be sent in to clear up the mess.
