>>>it certainly doesn't put Russia into a good position for WTO membership.

Oh, I get it now. They should have waited until they were accepted into WTO and THEN invaded Georgia?

Of course, Russia should have:
gone and made a case against Georgia to the UN
received UN Sec. Council votes re: put Georgia in its place,
issued lots of threats,
created coalitions of the willing and unwilling,
waited several years while playing by UN rules,
voted several more times for more UN disapproval votes,
then issued several more sanctions,
and then put embargoes into place.

Right?

What primitive methods? Georgia started a war in SO. Russia
responded. A forgotten fact.

If Russia attacked Illinois, would US use "primitive" ICBMs?

The Russian population in any CIS state is huge. That includes
Georgia. The West paints it again in a cold war mode, but
Russia is very different now. Russia did vote to separate from Soviet Union as well. If Georgia withdraws from SO and the
war ends, the Russian intensions were exactly what they
were claimed to be, and nothing more, whatever the picture
painted on CNN. CNN in very censored media, BTW.
