Russia's Evolving Leadership | STRATFOR. Every world power tries to avoid a wild goose chase, and to avoid killing the goose with the "golden eggs". Also, I show you a Romanian maxicard with The Red-breasted Goose (Branta ruficollis)

"The Red-breasted Goose (Branta ruficollis) is a goose of the genus Branta. 

It is sometimes separated in Rufibrenta but appears close enough to the Brent Goose (Branta bernicla) to make this unnecessary, despite its distinct appearance.

The Red-breasted Goose breeds in Arctic Europe, often close to nests of large birds of prey, such as Peregrine Falcons. 

This helps to protect this small goose from predators such as the Arctic Fox. 

[MY NOTE: Interesting! The enemy of your enemy is your friend]

It winters in south eastern Europe. 

It is a rare vagrant to Great Britain and other western European areas, where it is sometimes found with Brent flocks."

"This species is unmistakable, but can be surprisingly difficult to find amongst Brent Geese due to its small size. The red also tends to look black at long distances." [MY NOTE: How does the Red Army look at long distances? Black Ops Army? :) ]

"Over 80% of the population roost during the winter at just five sites [MY NOTE: in Romania and Bulgaria], with nearby feeding areas threatened by changes in land-use."
