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.

Yep, pretty much...

This will probably be the “SECRET WAR”. Russia will claim they are liberating Georgia, just like we liberated Iraq. The media won’t want to talk about it.

Georgia has already recalled 1,000 of their troops from Iraq because of this. Does anyone know the size of the Georgian armed forces?
