Russia is only too happy about Georgian sovereignty, believe me. It would be even happier if Georgia were to be sovereign and far from Russian borders. No such luck...

You fail to grasp that all this petty squabbling is the part of a strategy, and this strategy is not of Russia's making. Some people in Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine decided that anti-Russian stance would give them free ride to NATO and EU and that Western nations will be happy to provide for them as a devoted allies against Russia. As a final touch, smart people also built a couple of Potemkin villages called development of democracy and freedom. Western media are delighted to see young democracies freeing themselves from Russian "control". The best-case scenario for them is if Russia could be provoked to do something stupid, and Putin and his government are far from being the smartest guys around. Very simple. And they have reasons to believe they would succeed, this way has been paved already by Poland and Baltic states.

So when you decide to blast Russia again just understand that you are being used. And prepare to pay; these guys really cannot survive without living off somebody. They will be your best friends...while you pay. Good luck :-))
