I wonder indeed. Anyway, I dont see any point in getting involved in a war started by Sakashvili. Hes teargassed protestors in his own country, arrested opposition members, and when his popularity was in a nosedive, started a war to distract attention.

Great powers dont retreat forever, and it was a bit much to imagine Moscow would let its soldiers be killed without punishing retribution.

Sakashvili is on his way out. Either his voters will rid his country of him, or a someone is going to give him a Polonium meal.

Agreed. Georgia is going to become smaller by at least two states. Sakashvili maybe thought the West would rush to his aid. Far from it other than the usual posturing because of support for Georgia.

Great powers don't last forever either. Like everything earthly, they are mortal.
