All Russia needed to do is arm Serbia to the max, including few nukes, that would have stopped NATO dead in its tracks from trying to create a puppet state on Serbian soil; it would have also stop the NATO encroachment on Russia’s borders. It is still not too late; the problem now is that current Serbian government are a bunch of traders, which could be cleaned up if Russia takes serious approach to helping Serbia. In Afghanistan and Iraq Russia could make sure that NATO gets bogged down, pretend that you are helping, this would push the US and most of NATO members economical crisis and perhaps NATO’s demise and that would be a great opportunity for Serbia with Russian and perhaps Chinese help to remove NATO presence from its soil. Then all Russia’s immediate neighbors would also try to have closer ties with Russia, which would be the end of US and EU meddling in Russian sphere of influence. Timing is everything, and one must take advantage when it has tactical advantage, including economical advantage.
