So our strong verbal support for Georgia is encouraging:
At a banquet in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi on Wednesday evening, Biden said he wanted to send "an unequivocal, clear message to all who will listen and some who don't want to listen, that America stands with you and will continue to stand."
Russian troops crushed Georgia's military in a brief war in Georgia last August, about five years after the country's 2003 Rose Revolution brought President Mikhail Saakashvili to power and ousted a Soviet-era leader.
The vice president was also firm in support of Ukraine.
I'm somewhat suprised but pleased that we are treating friends like friends.
On the other hand, our current government isn't exactly building a reputation for standing up against potential and actual foes.
So what is causing our government to issue such a strong warning?
What is the CIA telling the administration about Russian intentions or capabilities that is leading us to warn Russia so bluntly?
