I wish I had a dollar for every time my Mom warned me not to take a situation where I was completely in the right and my adversary completely in the wrong and do something foolish that would transform it to one where there was right and wrong on both sides. That's what Georgia has done in this case. They had a legitimate gripe and handles correctly could have put Russia on the hot seat. But instead they went it on their own and now it's a much more complicated matter where both sides have points.

In any case, Russia has no business in Georgia and whatever it takes to get them out of there is warranted.

Just IMHO!

Georgia's mistake was to take the bait. When the Russian proxies attacked them, they responded with missiles and artillery. Instead, they should have used a more covert means, say, snipers, to eliminate the enemies. Now, if Russia fails to leave, the Georgians should pursue an asymmetrical war against them. Roadside bombs, assassinations, and other types of attacks like that on Russian soldiers who are busy looting, robbing banks, and otherwise showing their true colors, are what I'd recommend. Let plenty of these Russian bullies come home in body bags so that Putin's drive to return the Soviet empire is put in the proper context for all of the Russian people to see. Let them see the cost of empire and subjugation.
