The New York Times: Reports on the latest move by the Russians to remove South Ossetia and Abkhazia from Georgia. One has to ask, is all this worth it for Russia, is it worth be thrown out of the G8, barred from Western Trade, the Ukraine becoming part of NATO. Those former Republics will want even more to become part of NATO, as this will give them protection from Russia. The old countries of the Warsaw Pact who are part of NATO have that card in their dealings with Moscow. The next few years are going to very cold between the West and Moscow. If this is still an Issue next will week will be very surprised, Moscow can not be that foolish, there is winning and a hollow victory.
