the side show was russia-georgia-usa

where one side just moved to 'check' - the action is 'check' in chess by russia, and if escalated, georgia will not win, and not win big

if extended to november, israel action vs iran would be nil given usa preoccupation

and perhaps that was the russian consideration #2, especially given the recent across the board border settlement with china that uncharacteristically involved ceding of russian occupied territory

let us watch and brief

Had I known this was going to happen like this, I would have sacrificed alot, just to get there.

And not had to endure the unbelievable arrogance of NBC's serial insults of interrupting the awesome flow with mindless commercials every 5 minutes.

Like billions of people around the world, I don't have a TV set. Also like billions, I couldn't care less about Olympic games. Montreal hosted the Olympics once and lost their collective shirt on it. The revenue from temporarily increased tourism was way below the expense of arranging everything.
I own some Chinese shares. Their value is independent of extravaganzas.
