We need to stay out of this one for the obvious reasons. I’m not even sure that Russia is wrong here. We would be doing the same thing if Texas was taken over by a Mexican majority and was supressing an American minority in the Panhandle (at least I hope the USA will do something when that happens in about a decade).

If we don't stop Vlad here he will be sending troops to all the former soviet states. You are wrong in your analysis of the situation. Georgia is a sovereign state with real borders that Russia has “appropriated” territory from by supporting the separatists.

Im not even sure that Russia is wrong here.South Ossetia seems to more in common with Russia than with Georgia. If the people there wish to be autonomous and aligned with Russia then what is that to us?

Are you kidding? Our “Mexican scenario” is the same situation Georgia is in, NOT Russia. For that matter the Serbs we fought were also in the situation the Georgians are in. If the Hispanics would secede we are in the situation the Georgians find themselve now.

Georgia has always been a difficult area for Russia. It is going to continue to be interesting, and those who think the US ought to get involved in this are jumping the gun, I believe.
As of now, I have no opinion about the situation.
