Counterattack

With the Russians out of Georgia (excluding the breakaway regions), we are moving to rearm them to deter or defeat another invasion:

Georgian and U.S. officials will meet in Washington later this month to discuss how to rebuild Georgia's military in the wake of its August war with Russia, Defense Minister David Kezerashvili said.


And just as I have judged the Russians to have won absolutely nothing by their partial invasion of Georgia, Secretary Gates believes the Russians achieved nothing and that we won't let them get a win:

He said the incursion "has achieved and will achieve no strategic objective.''


At some point, the Russian people may come to realize that this was a show trial on Georgian soil. It was just a propaganda campaign to bolster Putin and his fellow thug oligarchs at the cost of Russian and Georgian lives that gained Russia nothing.
