“no prospect of using US military force in Georgia” is so NOT the same thing as “No forces in Georgia”.
Are the BBC deliberately twisting the headline?
Don’t really know but we don’t need another war. Georgia is Europes problem. We need to stay out of it.
To expand on my point: we need NATO forces in Georgia right now.
Putting forces in front of the Russians and so stopping them from devouring the whole of Georgia is NOT the same as immediately blazing away with MOABs. The Russians always, ALWAYS advance until met with steel.
The other - not exclusive option - is to “review the Georgians’ military needs”. Oh what a felicitous diplomatic phrase that is. Give the Georgians more tank- and helicopter-killing missiles.
