Look at the nice chunk of prime tourism land Russia took from them. Eventually Georgia will tire and choose a Russian puppet
Actually,I've done a bit of research since my last post and found two interesting facts...1)Georgia,historically,has been seen as something of a "crossroads" between Europe and Asia and has a long history of contact/association with Europe,,,and 2)Cyprus,which is part of Asia,is a member of the EU.IMO,the EU can very reasonably grant her membership.And EU membership (and money) is known to greatly benefit less well off countries financially (for proof,look first at Ireland).
Actually Russia already occupied those territories for almost twenty years before Russia’s brutal and unprovoked 2008 invasion of Georgia and ethnic cleansing of its population. In all those years the Georgians have not tired of resisting Russia’s barbaric imperialism. Their hatred of Russia only grew. So Russia really gained nothing in 2008.
