The next US president, be it Barack Obama or John McCain, is already on a collision course with Russia, as prospects for a great power diplomatic chill are deepened by the war in Georgia. Republican McCain and Democrat Obama have bickered sharply over the crisis, both seeking to showcase leadership skills and foreign policy flair. McCain has publicly feuded with Russia for months, and took the sharpest initial line in support of US ally Georgia, while Obama's position hardened against Moscow as the crisis evolved. New US-Russian rifts will pile another foreign policy headache onto the packed agenda awaiting the new president in January, including Iraq, deteriorating security in Afghanistan and the Iranian nuclear crisis.
