We have been training their army for anti-terrorism. We now need to train their army for defensive war against tanks and air assault....
the russian allready accused the US helping the georgians to start (what the russian called an war of agression) the first war. result they bombed and invaded them. guess what they would do now if georgia try to rearm now? will they stand by? i guess not. btw. geogia is a too small country to fight russia no matter what weapons they may get. they would never have a chance. not fair but this is the world we are living.

Again, I point to Afghanistan who succesfully beat the Russians off of them with a few Stinger missiles and AK-47's. This is a historical fact.
You are buying the hype on the Russians. The truth is that the 3rd Armored Division pretty much alone knocked off the 4th largest army in the world equipped with Russian stuff. The Israeli Air Force in F-16's (our average small fighter) took out the entire Syrian Air Force equipped with Russian stuff.
The Russians are better with their stuff than the Arabs are for sure. But not enough to make up the difference. I once again point out Afghanistan.
The Russians are a nuclear power and have a very powerful strategic force. But most of the tactical side is bluster. The Georgians could make it very painful with the proper defensive equipment and training. Just as painful as Afghanistan did.
