nice propaganda piece and i dont disagree with much of it. As i have said, much like kosovo, the serbs and georgians should be happy to be freed of these folks and get on with building a democratic georgia. You would think but apparently they want what they can't have. When kosovo independence was declared i said that the international powers should have allowed the serbian piece of kosovo to be annexed by serbia. This would have been fair, and the russians and serbs wouldnt have been nearly as upset. I don't understand how all these small countries will survive economically. Afterall, there is a good economic reason for why Yugoslavia was formed. What i dont agree with and neither should you is the Russians disregard for international borders. In the last 8 years, the US has invaded and violated the borders of 2 countries. Don't you think you are being a mite hypocritical complaining about Russia? This poses dangers for states like Ukraine and the Baltic republics not to mention Poland. No kidding. Russia needs to play by 21st century rules to settle 19th century issues as difficult as they might be. They are...rules set by the US. Russians win a phyrric victory here. They showed their power over a nation of 4mm but not much else. I think they also showed a general amateurism in their military with many limitation in extending their power against a real country. How so? Also they have hurt their international standing. Putin could care less about international standing. Do you have any idea the mineral wealth Russia has, and unlike with the US, they have a lot of it left? The US blew it.....its like you or CJ said......we should have been working harder on the relationship in the 90s.
