Kosovo independence:The right place in the right time

Kosovo declared its independence and became a country the world is divided whether to recognize as independent state or not , even Europe is divided , I do not know on which team my country Egypt will be , but I think it will join the American team in the end and leave the Russian team , not because we are with the people of the Kosovo as a Muslim but because we are in the Same team of the American administration I am afraid.

First of all I am happy for the Albanians despite my fear on their happiness that it won't last for too long with the Serbia's threats backed up with Russia , these threats should not regarded as bluffs.

Second let's be straight here Kosovo would not have got its independence if it had not been in the right place at the right time , the strategic location, on the northern border there is Serbia , a country that is still in the old Warsaw alliance in the eastern camp with Russia , from the few countries of the eastern camp that are against Europe despite the temptation of joining the EU "not anymore after the threats of Serbia of not joining the EU because of Kosovo , it is either Serbia or Kosovo in the EU" , the United States wants to alienate its cold war enemy more and more and if you notice and look carefully in the world map you will understand what I mean.

The time here plays an important role but to be honest I do not know if Kosovo's declaration of independence will catalyst the crisis between the United States and the EU from one side and Russia from another side.Is it a move to provoke Russia more ?? Already Russia does not need more provocation.

The Albanians of Kosovo are so lucky , seriously they are damned lucky , not many ethnics in the world who are struggle to have independence of their nations are that lucky as I said the right time and the right place , again look to the history and the map of the world and see how many ethnics are fighting for their independence for ages and they do not get what they want on the contrary they live in ever after wars. The international politics and interests play the main factor.

By the way Europe is divided because there are many ethnics in Europe that are struggling for their independence too ,you got the Basque dilemma , you got Scotland , oh yes the Scottish nationalists are looking forward for independence from the United Kingdom.

I am afraid the Kosovo independence is not made for the eyes of the Albanians ,still I believe the Albanians should seize the opportunity and build their country and its defense's because they are inside a region that had seen many wars started local and ended world war.
