The support Russia has is not support but energy dependence.
don´t get me wrong i´m not here for playing the bad ass and tell every body that i think russia is wonderfull and doing the right thing. it may sound this way sometimes. i just want to bring in some positions that some countries (not all) and some people in europe have. yes the people of georgia do have general support in europe but their president? i don´t think so. yes energy is a problem.
but this is a 2 way street. EU needs russian energy and russia needs the money from the EU. so at the moment we are in bed with each other if we like it or not. this can be said for both sides.
