Still sticking with my theory.
All he had to do was start the ball rolling, then events just follow escalating as they go along.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but do you mean “rogue” and not “rouge”?

The Russians have bombers and the Georgians don’t have fighters. That’s bad news for Georgia

"
What the US needs to do is covertly jam and use ECM to Georigias benifit."
What ever we do it had better be the right move.
If it isn't there could be some carbon tax credits too large to pay for.

Ukraine is the real question. They could probably take Russia in a fight. I don't know if they could take them, but they could make the Russians regret starting something with them.

Aircraft shot down? That’s a normal risk on a bombing mission How dare anyone shoot down my bomber that was trying to take out the same SAM installation that shot my bomber out of sky :)

I’ll have a look and get back to you. Haven’t had my morning shower yet, but will need extra soap after a visit to that vile site.

“GEORGIA IS NOT A MEMBER OF NATO”
Stop yelling already, I got it and corrected myself
Blame the CNN story I heard this morning. They said “Georgia has been involved in NATO for years and a member of the North Atlantic Cooperation Council” I guess “involved” does not mean member. You can see how I made the mistake.
To: mware
I just can not see Putin even chancing coming in contact with US troops by bombing Vaziani. Our guys were there only yesterday.

Problem is, both sides have the same or similar tanks. We didn’t sell them any.

Most likely, yes. But the Georgians are capable of doing such.
