U.S. to Complete Redeployment of Georgian Forces from Iraq

How much time does Georgia have? The Red Army will be at the gates of the city, rested and ready by tomorrow this time. I don't imagine they can hold out long against the full might of Russia. A day or two, max is my guess. I expect that by Friday there will be a new flag flying over that city. The President will either be in Russian jail or "President in Exile" somewhere like London. Sad, we drop these troops off and say what: "Good Luck !! Sorry about your country..., Thanks for all the help in Iraq."

I hope it doesn’t happen that way. If that scenario does play out....NO ONE will ever trust us again.

Yes, with the proper lethal 'toyz', the battle-tested-from-Iraq-deployment Georgian troops can go all Afghan on the Ruskies and if not drive them out, then at least make them ask themselves how much fun they're having experiencing in Georgia, what the Georgians experienced in Iraq. I'm sure the Georgians learned a thing or two from their time in Iraq that can make the Ruskies re-occupation attempt of Georgia no cake-walk.

Don't kid yourself. The Russians are not the Americans. They could care less about the "hearts and minds" of the Georgians.

Grozny, Chechnya after Russian liberation.

Well then, Gerorgia was a nice ally while they lasted.
This whole downfall is "biblical" in nature anyway. All the former "Soviet" satellites have to be re-taken by Russia to raise the "evil empire" run by Satan and his ilk from it's ashes and reform the Tzarist Russian Empire just like the Dark Lord in land of Mordor.

After that comes Israel. It is written, so shall it be accomplished. May the dead Georgians rest in peace.

If that scenario does play out....NO ONE will ever trust us again.

I am sure that was factored in by the Russians, but I think controlling oil shipments through the pipeline is their foremost concern, one which can benefit them economically.

In the end, those funds will be used to rebuild and expand the Russian military, and then expect more of the same.

In the meantime our House of Nero is off fiddling...

[SumProVita]

One smart thing to do would be to fast-track both Georgia and the Ukraine into NATO membership.

You’ve pretty well summed it up. No one is going to help Georgia in any serious way because no one wants to get into a fight with the Russians, even if they think they can beat them. And the Georgian military is totally dwarfed by the Russian Army.

I take that as a great compliment coming from a Navy guy!

Thanks!
