Good vid. I never understood the push to extend NATO right up to the border of Russia. It seems to me a complete provocation, not that Russia is right in this latest incident. The question now is what will the NATO states do about the old, new Russia? I don't think much as we have lost most, if not all, moral standing in the world.
Are you implying that Russia was wrong in this situation with Georgia? Or do you mean that you don't want to be perceived as saying Russia was right because you have not yet reached a firm opinion?

From what I can tell, there are many layers here but the most important factors right now (IMO) are the pending attack on Iran and NATO expansion. South Ossetians are merely pawns. If they decided tomorrow to break away from Georgia and North Ossetians decided to join them by breaking away from Russia to form a new Independent nation (with nuclear energy rights!), every last Ossetian would be dead in short order. ;-)
