So Russia demanding that Georgia pay an unsubsidized market price for its gas is bullying? I thought it was capitalism.

If it's "Russia" demanding the rate it isn't capitalism. It's not capitalism if the state owns the monopoly supplier ie Gazprom. That's called "Fascism".

You think state-run monopolies are capitalist? Where did you learn that? When governments control the economy, it's called socialism, not capitalism.
