R, trouble comes this way, i fear.

russia may be doing what they are doing for a very many reasons good enough for them at this juncture, and georgia cooperated, resulting all of us entering the next level of complications. the Russian reasons could be:

- if they do not do this, they will not be doing anything else ever
- it is time to do this that had to be done sooner or later
- it is what the team usa would do had new mexico brokem away, and may well have to do eventually
- pipe line politics
- oil, gas, iron
- enforcing freedom of choice by independence movements that are in turn trapped inside independence movement
- kill chicken to show monkeys that cooperating on usa abm schema may not be wise
- etc etc etc
- take heat off of iran
- just doing a Russian neocon move and taking the cue from washington, as in "mom, joey is doing it"

- it is not as if any likely combination of nations can do anything about the developing situation with any remote certainty of success - count europe out for it does not wish to freeze in winter, forget japan, leave out the entire membership of the shanghai cooperation organization where attack on one is as good as attack on all, and so that leaves team usa and ... turkey? may the force be with turkey.

- so, what a spectacle, beijing olympics, a coming out party, attended by two visiting war mongers, one killing civilians in afghanistan-iraq, and the other, soon to be ex-georgia

- the soon to be ex-georgia president will say and do anything to try to get team usa involved

but, as ancient chinese sage (very fashionable reference this week:0) figured, distant water cannot put out close fire, and so team usa may have to draw down sub-teamlette afghanistan and borrow soldiers from lost cause front that is iraq, to make a credible threat in the Georgia situation before any laugh test is not passed

so, over to team nato, from the west of mother russia and south from afghanistan

it was not exactly typical behavior when russia recently closed the deal with china by ceding territory earned with flowing blood

it is unusual for french sarkozy to threaten but not follow through with boycott of china party

could be that something will be soon up, and the dance cards are being taken and may be soon called upon, in turn, in choreographed sequence, and ignore the screaming, guard against the kicking

recommendation: ... well, you know, and mean time, the party continues

cheers

p.s. trinidad go, tobago go go go cousin george holding trini flag newsday.co.tt

party of 12+ cousins/nieces/nephews from 6+ nations all off of one branch of a sizable tree is set for coming sunday :0)
