We have been training their army for anti-terrorism. We now need to train their army for defensive war against tanks and air assault.

They need to be supplied with large numbers of anti-tank weapons. These are only useful in defense against...tanks.

They need to be provided with hundreds of fixed anti-air defenses that are state of the art. These cannot be used to attack anybody....only defend.

We need to help them install anti-tank traps, bunkers, etc. Strictly defensive.

We need to help them set up hardened internal command and control systems within Georgia.

They are never going to get Ossetia and Abkhazia back. But what is left there should be no doubt left in the Russian mind that it is OFF LIMITS forever.

The fact is no amount of weaponry is going to make Georgia able to withstand an attack by Russia. When you are a small country next to a nuclear superpower, you have to know your place and make a few sacrifices. It’s not fair, but that’s how the world has worked since the dawn of man.

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.
