No U.S Security Guarantee for the FYR Macedonia

The above link is an article by Sam Vaknin from the American Chronicle regarding the U.S's announcement of its intention to sign a security agreement with FYROM (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) in wake of its failed bid to join NATO as result of Greece's blocking that bid. The security has been touted by much of the FYROM press and Slav Macedonian bloggers as being "better than any NATO membership". Vaknin rejects this view and is sceptical of the significance of the particular agreement to be signed. An interesting point is that even Serbia currently has an agreement with the U.S of the same type.
