Russia's response was far greater than the Georgian provocation and now we can understand that the ancient Russian drive for expansion has not changed with the end of the Cold War. Ukraine will be the next on its menu, and after Vlad Bonaparte failed to poison its president, Russia will revert to its brutal bullying.

Poland & the Czechs and the Baltic States are the most anti-Russian for a reason, they've lived under its barbarous codes. World opinion is slowly shifting to support their viewpoint & the Georgian position, it seems.
