If we are making predictions, I believe that we all will be shocked at what will happen. I believe there are some chess moves to be played that none of us can predict. I don’t believe Georgia will fall. This is just a gut feeling, but there is just something about this that doesn’t seem good for Russia and I don’t believe the world will let a new Soviet-esque superpower rise again.

I hope and pray you are right FRiend.

Me too.. I have no idea why I thought this, but some of my first predictions would be this triggers a power struggle in Russia, maybe triggered behind the scenes by us. Their people have to be sick of ex-Soviet KGB running it like a criminal enterprise. Heck, the real criminal enterprise(sic) there must be sick of what is happening with these Stalin-wannabes.
