This is extremely interesting.

The is no doubt that Russia and Putin are VERY serious about Georgia, but this takes it a step even further. They are indicating that they will punish suppliers and enablers.

Putin planned, prepared, entrapped and executed Georgia efficiently. This is the same process for the next target.

It's not a good idea to piss off the Bear unless you can take him.

Funny thing is that Russia in 2007 APROOVED sales weapons to Georgia.

It is becoming more clear over time with respect to Russia that we are not dealing with a nation of people in the traditional sense. We are dealing with a Criminal Enterprise that has taken control of a population of over 100 million people. Putin is a criminal mob boss using the Russian Military to destroy his competitors.

Some good and not surprising news follows.

South Ossetian city Russians claim was leveled still standing.

TSKHINVALI, Georgia - As Russian troops pounded through Georgia last week, the Kremlin and its allies repeatedly pointed to one justification above all others: The Georgian military had destroyed the city of Tskhinvali.

Russian politicians and their partners in Tskhinvali, the capital of the breakaway region South Ossetia, said that when Georgian forces tried to seize control of the city and the surrounding area, the physical damage was comparable to Stalingrad and the killings similar to the Holocaust.

But a trip to the city on Sunday, without official minders, revealed a very different picture. While it was clear there had been heavy fighting - missiles knocked holes in walls, and bombs tore away rooftops - almost all of the buildings seen in an afternoon driving around Tskhinvali were still standing.
