Will the Russians still be drunk and lash out from their entrechmants at unarmed Georgians? Will they continue to set fire to Georgian crops and their forests? Will they put into play their units dressed in Georgian uniforms to commit war crimes? Will they even begin to leave as their own president said they would?
The peace loving world longs for these answers to be know, yet every Russian action and statement over the past month says the anwer is yes, yes, yes.
An amazing consensus has risen from the west that calls into account Russia’s actions. There is some overlap of the opinion coming from President Bush and from the two men who would follow. France and Germany have been forceful. Old Soviet block puppets in Poland, Czech Rep. the Ukraine, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia have shown quick and forceful support of Georgia. Putin was counting on something far, far different, and the enery, force and commitments from Russian naysayers has only just begun.
By early afternoon tomorrow in Georgia, the US will awake to what it is the SovietsRussians are actually up to.
