I’m listening to the Sec Gates briefing now. Sounds like he’s mostly downplaying things. He’s said that it appears that the Russians are withdrawing now, he says a lot of reports have been inaccurate. He also mentioned that the port at Poti wasn’t blocked and can still be used. Mentioned there is no longer any Russian air activity over the region.

He did mention that a number of traning excercises with Russia have been cancelled and how Russia acts in the next few days with dictate how things go in that regards.

The time to have done that was four years ago when Putin began confiscations of private property in Russia and began killing dissidents, targeted assassinations etc. If it looks like KGB and acts like KGB, it’s probably KGB.
