By the way, I'm curious, is the religion of Peace involved in this conflict?

This all may be true but I sure hope we stay out of it. This could explode real quick. I think this is Europes problem.

Bad piece of ground for Russia to pick a fight in. Poor road network concentrated in a river valley down to their objective. And their opponents are well armed, trained, and motivated. They still seem to have the same problems as the cold war soviet union, Poor morale, poor logistics, and uneven leadership. Russia may be on the receiving end of a can of whoop a$$. Especially since it’s been reported that they have already lost some aircraft. Not good for them and not good for anybody.

While there are many regions of strategic interests to the United States throughout the world, South Ossetia isn’t one of them.

I’m sure Russia’s other neighbors are atching closely. And some of them are former Soviet states with nukes...

If Russia can take control of the breakaway region they can control the oil flow to ALL of Georgia and then try and squeeze the country to death!

“It is an ethnic patchwork of mountain villages, part-Ossetian and part-Georgian, with just 70,000 inhabitants, divided between pro-Russian and pro-Georgian administrations, and lacking any common identity.”

Very similiar to what these United States are becoming in many ways.
