Excerpt:

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin told CNN on Thursday that he thinks the U.S. orchestrated the crisis in Georgia to provide a diversion from the U.S. presidential campaign. [. . .]

"It does look like a lot of the agreements and cooperative efforts we have worked with the Russians to achieve in recent years — they are in deep danger, including the civilian nuclear cooperation agreement, including NATO-Russia cooperation, including Russia's accession to the WTO [World Trade Organization]," Kuchins says. "How far that list will go on is an open question at this point."
