August 8, 2008—the Beijing Olympics and the violent phase of the second Cold War have begun!
I hope Georgia can kick the Russians out...otherwise we’ve got some real trouble on our hands.
P.S. Anyone read “The Moscow Vector?” This is similar to some events in that book....
Yep. If the Georgians can’t kick the Russians out, this could turn really nasty really quick. Georgia has one of the largest coalition forces in Iraq, with 2,400 troops.
This presents an obvious dilemma to the US. Do we just throw Georgia under the bus and let Russia run right over them? If we do, we’re hypocrites. They’ve helped us. If we do fight, we risk WW3.
Not a good situation at all.
