Another case of David vs. Goliath. Georgia the small (former Soviet colony) has picked a war with her step mother. Well without getting into politics its quite obvious that this was well timed. Who would have thought that such a tiny country would try and challenge one of the biggest super powers in the world?

Don’t have any hopes that this will be resolved soon. Russia has already cut the country in half and hundreds lay dead. But miracles do happen and I’m not surprised if Georgia might resort to their nuclear weapons as backup….I’m just saying….not hoping.

The United States saw trouble coming between Russia and Georgia, a former Soviet republic turned nemesis, but didn’t have enough leverage, focus or resolve to intervene. Even Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a specialist on the old Soviet Union, may have misjudged the combustible combination of Russian grievance and ambition.
