Well, looks like Russian troops still push around close to Tblisi, and that villages get looted and burned down "behind" the Russian troops by amongst other Ossetia-based looters. (So much for peace keeping troops)
And now Russia have threaten Poland with military retaliation, due to the missile defense issue, where Poland changed stance after this conflict. Looks like Georgia-conflict will also push Ukraine closer to the missile defense program amongst other things. Will be interesting to see what happens with the Russian naval bases in Ukraine now and the effect that will get.


@BN: No I do think Russia should help defend S.O if Georigan troops attack.
But I do not think they should have escalated the conflict, and have invaded and started occupation of Georgian territories because then they are no longer peace keeping force, but performing an act of war becoming an invading army - and they should not portray themselves as noble defenders, when their hands are so bloody in the entire conflict.
From both military strategical, political and economical perspectives, this runs much more complex then a simple "but they should defend S.O." that it makes it naive to focus purely on that point.


edit: Seems like both Russia and Gerogia have signed the peace treaty now ... will be interesting to see further development regarding the Russian troops location and attitude towards Poland (and likely soon Ukraine)
