 A - Why Cyprus [a note from John Pike]
2 - The entire Cyprus exploit is the first Cold Peace exemplar of Russian mischief-making in their new adversarial mode of looking around for places to "confound their politics, frustrate their fiendish tricks" [as they say in God Save the Queen] as the principled organizer of the global opposition to TheSoleRemainingSuperPower[tm].
In particular, I am focusing on this because no one else is, and while all of this is incredibly obvious to me, it seems to have escaped almost everyone else's attention in the mass media.
This is a bad thing, particularly with respect to NATO expansion, because if the Cyprus exploit failed to captivate Washington, then surely Moscow will be driven to bolder steps whose import is more difficult to ignore or deny.
