We have troops in Goergia training them and who are apt to be in hars way very qickly.
I cannot see us standing by and letting Gerogia get rolled over. Europe would be foolish to allow it as well.
I can see both sides of it. On one hand, Georgia itself is not worth the risk. But as you say, they’ve been a strong ally in Iraq and it would *very* bad to our other allies if the US did not assist this one in its time of need.
And if we do nothing, does it embolden Russia to consider re-taking its former possessions in Eastern Europe? Given the fact that they’ve been bullying them in recent years, it would not surprise me.
