I don’t profess to understand all the internal machinations that are amiss in the region, what I do know is a couple of things:

1. Georgia has come along towards a respectable, upstanding entity (politically, economically and socially)
2. Georgia is really small compared to Russia in any measure
3. Georgia has a decidedly pro-western slant that Russia doesn’t like ( as does Ukraine)

Finally Russia’s position reminds of the 19th century Soviet behavior. I swear Russia still thinks like the USSR.

Anyway, Parek has a good round up on Georgia and The Times (UK) has a very good round up also.

I don’t know but this strikes me as very ominous behavior on the part of heavily funded energy based economy throwing their weight behind it.

This can’t end well.
