Does anyone else think there is something bigger going on here than just occuppying Georgia? It seems all of their movings are very calculated and we are just sitting here tapping our foot. “Ok, now get out. OK NOW get out. Really, out” and meanwhile they are going about their business.
Yes. There seems to be a great deal of “movements” by the Russian/Syrian/Iran/Venezuela axis - in matters economic and military.

I am sure this was all coordinated well in advance with Iran. I thought that as soon as it happened, if only because Iran suddenly became so quiet.
Hugo is their little sock-puppet and doesn’t have the capacity to do anything on his own. But I think the Russians are going to go ahead and attempt to move missiles to VZ in order to give Hugo a bit more umph, although he’ll still be their sock puppet. The seizure of a Mexican company by VZ was rather interesting, and I think VZ is sooner or later going to attempt to move on Mexico, where it has a lot of leftist supporters who can undermine Mexico from within.
However, be that as it may (and that may be an extreme and somewhat apocalyptic scenario!), it’s very depressing to see how we have quietly retired from Latin America. The only exception is Colombia, our one success story, although this has been opposed every step of the way by the Dems. Our overall passivity, however, has essentially signalled to the Russian/Iranian axis that Latin America is up for grabs, and I bet they are already planning some moves there.
