The Next Move ?


The New York Times: Reports on the latest in the War between Georgia and Russia. The Omens are not good, Russia if they wanted to could move troops in to Georgia. The blockade of Georgia, the War developing on other fronts, does recall in some context 1914, the Note the Austrians sent the Serbs to prevent War, a Note that would have placed Serbia under Austrian Power. Is the point of this war to make Georgia a satellite of Russia again, like in the Soviet period. One gets the feeling that Putin's Russia wants to recreate the Old Soviet Union, what next the Ukraine.
