Thread Name: BS: War in Georgia (2008)
Subject: RE: BS: War in Georgia
It looks to me like Russia is going to continue to flex its muscles until Georgia signs a non use of force agreement and agrees that it will not try to force the provinces that have broken away to be reabsorbed into Georgia.

It also looks to me like Russia is trying to teach Georgia that it's not in that country's best interests to be on a short leash that is controlled by the US.
