Thanks for posting all this! I was in Kaspi a few years ago.
It is a dreary place, unlike the rest of Georgia.

It’s a tough call for W. Thank God I’m not POTUS. This crap would be too tough.

On one hand, you don’t want to risk WWIII. On the other hand, why would any country partner with us and send troops to back us up if we won’t do the same for them?

My solution if we were playing fantasy President in a video game would be this:

1. Send American troops into Georgia like they have on a humanitarian mission. Put them in places you don’t want Russians to bomb to deliver the supplies. The Russians wouldn’t dare fire on American soldiers.

2. Arm Poland and the Ukraine to the teeth.

Actually, this would be WWIV.

WWIII is the fight against terrorism.

WWIV is the WOT.

WWIII was the Cold War. 1945-1991, 110,000 American lives lost(Korea, Vietnam, and other proxy wars) and trillions of dollars to beat the Soviet Union and to free the Eastern Bloc.

I don’t doubt for a second that Putin plans on taking back all the countries that became independent after President Ronald Reagan ended the cold war.

So it appears the Russians are sitting on the Baku-Supsa pipeline, while the BTC pipeline has been cut inside Turkey by Kurdish Communist "insurgents", and been declared "dead" and never to re-open, by the Russians.

Isn't that sweet? NOT!

Ironically, Stalin was a Georgian.

Djugashvili’s adoption of the more Russian-sounding name of Stalin (“man of steel”) around the year 1910 intrigued Tucker. One explanation given by the author, that “Stalin” was similar to “Lenin,” is quite plausible, considering the high esteem in which Djugashvili held Lenin. The author, however, gave an additional rationalization that Djugashvili was somehow expressing his disgust for all things Georgian, since the kingdom was “weak because of its smallness” and “a perennial victim in the centuries-old contest among the powers of the area.” This is perhaps the most overstated argument in the book, and one for which Tucker had little documentation to support. Furthermore, the author did not consider the idea that Djugashvili might simply have seen a name change as a pragmatic way to better blend in with the Russian Marxists. Also, given his numerous arrests, prison terms, and periods of exile, a name change might have been Stalin’s method of achieving some distance between past and present. At any rate, the “man of steel” felt a deep internal drive toward self-perfection; Tucker called this an “intolerance of anything short of perfection in himself,” which not only spurred him forward but also made him blind to his own blemishes.
