on georgian-ossetian-russian affairs
Oddly enough, the whole case has almost nothing to do with Georgia and Ossetia themselves, which are just pawns and victims in big political game. The meaning is that Putin is showing extreme disregard to the US, official Georgian ally. This conflict is planned beforehand, carefully arranged and perfectly timed provocation of Moscow. Moscow shows teeth to the outer world and declares they can do what they please with their former satellites, for starters.
The response of the world leaders is weak and sluggish. The UN seems not be up to anything efficient. NATO looks hibernated (or is it coma?). The USA govt obviously decided it would be most smart to pretend they have no much to do with this. Seems there are no forces left in the modern world to solve such problems. Russia and its militarized govt gets really dangerous. God help us all.
