Anyone feel it getting a little Cold?

Russia's too big for us to be on its wrong side for long. Bush can do this since he'll be out soon.

Russia is a joke. They never ever had a lead in the Cold War ever. We'd own them in a month or less.

Pity about the whole "nuclear winter" thing, Jeff

Star Wars + Missile Defense = USA Win.

I think that the Russian leadership has learned from past mistakes and won't let itself be spent out of existence, unfortunately.

I'm fully expecting permanent Russian garrisons around Georgia, a pliant client state installed, Abkhaz "independence," and South Ossetia very possibly annexed to Russia.

And that should be unacceptable to the west and worthy going to war over.

No, it shouldn't.

Russians forcing regime change in Georgia by force won't work.  Both the people of Georgia and the international community will just write it off as a puppet government.  Russia would've been better off trying to pressure a regime change with old fashioned KGB tactics (like they do in Ukraine) than forcing it.

Russia could rig a few elections easily. I have no faith in the international community after they allowed Georgia to be occupied by Russia, so I'm sure the puppet Georgian government will receive international recognition eventually.

You once had that faith?
