petekoby - you may know better than me that Odessa is not part of Russia and is very near to the old Romanian borders, and for sure you may be aware how the ethnic Russians look down toward Ukrainians as second class citizen (after all Ukrainians are decedents of Slavic tribes and not Russian decedents of the Varangian Rus), not to mention those living in the regions annexed by force form Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia etc. after WWII. One great example of how Russia under Putin is emerging is to watch their TV programs and the heavy handed and skewed propaganda where the Red Army reins supreme. Putin Russia has a clear expansionist tactics by giving freely to any one that asks for Russian passport and uses same tactics that Hitler used to annex the Sudeten land from the Czech Republic in 1938 – a very dangerous path for the world stability. Just imagine if that concept will apply to all countries – we will end up an a big world wide prison with endless conflicts emanating form the pretense of defending the “citizen” of another sovereign country and rendering sovereign borders to the interpretation of every small ethnic group (S. Ossetia are about 60,000 people or the size of a small town or suburb as comparison there where over 3 million German within the Czech Republic borders) This very high discrepancy between Hitler annexation policy and that of Putin Russia is to emphasis the unbelievable extreme that Putin took as an excuse for his annexation drive, which at the core are the chocking and submission of the Western World economies by overtaxing via transition fees the energy supplies to Europe and the rest of the world. Unfortunate very few can project unfolding of the events more than for one quarter <GGG> and the media controled by talking only proves the mass mediocrity The issue of national pride in a failed economic system is very easy to boost by proving military might – more so when an army funded with huge amounts of petro rubles is crushing a small army like that of Georgia. Putin doctrine must be stopped in its tracks before it will be to late – unfortunate Germany France and Italy are to afraid to initiate a face down with a nation that is bigger than a nation with 5 to 10 million people
