The Russians are going to roll their tanks right into Europe.
I can see it now. Putin is what we refer to as a 'strongman" His considerable deft in International Relations is no mistake. Not to mention, he's just ballsy.Vlad is using the timing perfectly, with a US engaged in military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan and needing support from Russian on the Iran Nuclear issue, there is no global police ready to spring board to the Georgian's safety. Unfortunately for the Georgian's they are going to have to figure this one out for themselves.
I'm not surprised that Putin rolled his troops into Georgia. Georgia is one of the few former Soviet Bloc countries that had the wherewithal to be a leader in economics and democratic change after the fall of the Wall. Not to mention its pro-Western (read: American) government has been a huge supporter of the US in its Middle East efforts. As an reward, Georgia received military training and arms from the US. Let's hope they put some of them to use now.
Putin is a crazy sob.

No, Russia cleared the weapon depots, they found in Georgie.
Well, isn't it nice of the Vlad to take away the weapons of the Georgian army as if it was a group of rebels?!
