There won't be blood
It was a telling contrast. The pro-Western incumbent Serbian President Boris Tadic was somewhat subdued even though he won no less than 35 per cent of this week's hotly- contested Serbian presidential election. Tadic was running neck-to-neck with the nationalist contender Tomislav Nikolic, but it was the latter who emerged as the undisputed winner of the presidential poll, edging ahead of Tadic with 40 per cent. Nikolic was triumphant. "I want to unify Serbia," he told his supporters in the Serbian capital Belgrade after the results of the presidential poll were announced. "And, no one can stop me," he thundered.

Although the grammar and syntax may be a little awkward in this article, there is no doubt that Putin is heading toward developing Russia's military capabilities to be among the best in the world.
In this, he is sending a message to the US and NATO: move forward very, very carefully, because Russia will be more than ready for any possible military confrontation, if it comes to that.
