Regardless of who started things [a still open question in my view, though most reports suggest Georgia inexplicably went into S. Ossetia first], two things are apparent: (1) Russia seemed suspiciously well prepared for the Georgian attack, if it indeed was the cassus belli, and (2) Russia has now gone far beyond whatever was necessary to get the Georgians out of S. Ossetia. It appears that Russia now has control over the pipeline to Turkey. Given Putin's increasingly obvious ambitions, it is going to be tough to get him to leave. This is going to change thingss in a big way. No longer just a bunch of small countries fighting locally over whether the shape of your village's haystack is insulting to my village. If indeed Georgia started things, I wonder what irrational impulse propelled its leadership into such an ill-conceived adventure? We can thank Stalin, ironically Georgian, for all this. He made up most of all these tiny republics in order to divide and conquer.
