Vladimir climbed the ladder of Russian politics throught the KGB; my guess is ass will be stomped, not kicked, and the world will never hear about it.

No kidding - people who are whining about the Patriot Act and civil rights concerns over here need to keep a close eye on what is happening in Russia.  Putin is already using the Beslan attack to effectively undermine ANY political opposition.

All hail Tsar Putin I

Because he was already doing what he could.  This has been going on for a long time.  If you want to kick ass you first have to find the ass to kick.

Ditto, Russians work differently in these situations. They have a long history of preferring to work in the shadows for internal matters.

What can they do that they already are not doing?

Send in Tanks to Chechnya, or shell Grozny and its civvies to Rubble?  Let Chechny alone?  Been there, done that.

Project force over the borders?  Naw, not without the help and cooperation of the US.

Despite all the bluster, there is little they can do.  What Putin CAN do is tighten up Moscow's control over the country as has been discussed here.
