He knows he was betrayed big time.

The betrayal was by those who refused NATO status.

The Bush Administration pushed for it, and [as usual], Germany and France refused. They believed it would pose an "unnecessary offense" to Russia. This blood is on the hands of Old Europe for being weak, just as they always are.

Had NATO status been approved, there is NO DOUBT Putin would have stood pat; there is no way in hell he would have moved in on Georgia.

So, now what?

This is what happens when you have to do all this crap by committee.

The United States needs to remove Russia from Georgia and draw a line in the sand today; ideally, some of the wimps in Europe will participate, if they won't, then we need to move without them.

Otherwise, we're going to be dealing with a New Cold War within a few years.
