Relations between Russia and the West have deteriorated. In key areas of international security, Russia is increasingly distancing itself from Europe and the US. Russia's display of newfound confidence is based on the booming oil business. At the same time, Moscow benefits from the crisis of US global power after Iraq. However, Russia's power rests on a fragile basis. Its options for influencing international affairs remain limited. Despite its claim to Great Power status and its tougher rhetoric, Russia is interested in maintaining stable relations with the West. Russia is rumbling, but it is not breaking with the West.
