With Gori fallen, Georgia's not only bisected, but trisected.<BR/><BR/>If an armoured column is in Senaki, given Abkhazia's reasonably isolated, the need to stockpile fuel and supplies, and assemble units, etc., the Russians had to be getting this campaign ready for some time. How did this escape notice, by either the Georgians or us?<BR/><BR/>The Georgians need to take any terms they can get, as soon as they can get them.El Jefe Maximohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14661511063910659377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-565208392014179042008-08-11T11:51:00.000-04:002008-08-11T11:51:00.000-04:00Lefties are commies and commies are lefties.Lefties are commies and commies are lefties.PCSSEPAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06409465703196815386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-10414052315864057272008-08-11T01:22:00.000-04:002008-08-11T01:22:00.000-04:00Pcssepa - Who said they were Commies?

Russia view that as "destabilizing." I view Russia's brand of diplomacy, a la Georgia, much worse.Max Lybberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13935322217857952629noreply@blogger.com
