You don't have a good answer for why Russia left Georgia, do you? If Russia were an expansionist bully, rather than a bunch of paranoids who would really rather NATO not encroach on its borders (or Georgian hotheads shelling its troops on a disputed border), you'd think they'd have stayed in Georgia, wouldn't you? Saakashvili is no longer a "local citizen of Ukraine" the last time I checked. He was a US puppet, imposed on Odesa Oblast. I don't think he'd ever BEEN to Odesa before; we were keeping him on ice in Brooklyn (oddly over an apartment I've stayed in) after his insane attempt to invade Abkhazia. I suppose by your lights, the US isn't presently fomenting revolution in Venezuela, and Pinochet was totally a native Chilean organic response to Allende. Fine: if the last three years has taught us anything, it is that some people will believe anything as long as it is told in the US media. Anyway, even if the Russian does do something crazy like attempt to take Georgia, I really don't care! It's not my business. I don't want a nuclear war over Georgia. This is a legitimate and sane political position, which somehow the military industrial complex has convinced people is actually crazy talk and that I should risk duke nukem for a country 5000 miles away most people confuse with a southern state (which has 3x the population of Georgia the country).
