Looks like Russia really wants their 15 minutes of fame.  They are making extremely bold statements.  They have actually told us to choose between Russia and Georgia.  In response to an agreement between the U.S. and Poland to create a missle defense system within Poland, Russia said that they will take action "beyond diplomacy".  Now they are saying that they have suspended international military cooperation events between Russia and NATO countries until further instructions."

Instead of pulling out of Georgia (as they have aggreed) they are apparently digging in around Georgia's port city of Poti.  It is fairly obvious that they want to reclaim the former Soviet bloc country.  The former KGB Putin yearns for the old days. 

Why doesn't the rest of Europe speak up?  I really don't see them taking a strong stand.  I believe they don't want to upset Russia because they don't think Georgia is important enough to worry about.  I believe the the EU and NATO should work quickly to admit Georgia and other former blocs into NATO.
