Russia has stationed its forces just 25 miles (40 kilometers) from the Georgian capital, in violation of the EU-brokered cease-fire that ended last year's brief war. And in recent weeks, it has sent even more troops and armored vehicles to within striking distance of the city ahead of street protests against Georgia's president.

The good news IMO is that the coiled spring of the people's anger is being compressed daily. It will will not stay potential energy forever.
The Russian’s are going to take Tblisi & Obama isn’t going to do a thing. Bank on it.
I am sure will use the pretense of ‘democracy-building’ when they send in the troops. I am also pretty sure the US will do nothing about it.
How do you say Sudetenland in Russian?
I swear that was Medea Benjamin in that video.
Ukraine is next. Our enemies are greatly emboldened by the incredible weakness of Obama. They realize that he is the weakest American President ever and because of this they are going to cause us a lot of harm.
of course they have, nothing to fear here
IMO all hell is gonna break loose in the next 12 months.
I’m not afraid. For once we have a leader who knows how to talk to the bad guys and let them know we understand that the US had been a very bad boy and that we stand ready to make mend our past atrocious behavior.
Lasha, any news from the front?
Good luck and God be with you and your countrymen.
Yep, Georgia is the Sudentenland, Crimea is Danzig.
Bye bye, Georgia...
Of course they are going to take it. They know our TOTUS is a complete dandified fop, who not only doesn’t mind despots, he bows to them (or does a secret handshake with them.) Buh-Bye Georgia. Sorry Poland, but your security is about to be compromised again.
Probably. If/When the Russians move on Tblisi, they'd likely do something under the excuse of securing their interests in Sevastopol.
Obama's backers will have made out big with this one. 1979, here we go again.
Oh this is not good news at all. The land of Gog and Magog are rising
Wait a minute. Didn't Gov. Tim Kaine say Obama had solved this problem last August? Here's what he said back then: "It was a bad crisis for the world. It required tough words but also a smart approach to call on the international community to step in. And Im very, very happy that the Senators request for a ceasefire has been complied with by President Medvedev."
“Probably. If/When the Russians move on Tblisi, they’d likely do something under the excuse of securing their interests in Sevastopol.”
They’re going after President Saakashvili.
