No Mr. Bubbles, the UN.

The question is whether the UN can achieve an end to hostilities diplomatically and then scrounge up the peacekeepers to hold the peace.

the U.S. wouldn't have anything to do with this one militarily. Not just because they don't have the resources, but because they're not going to enter a war against Russia.

The UN can't do anything though.

Russia is a permanent member of the security council... and could just veto any resolution put up against itself.

 

I realize the UN has many faults. You may recall they attempted a complete overhaul a year or two ago? It was going to dramatically revamp the U.N and make it a more effective body? But then at the last minute the U.S. ambassador John Bolton derailed it with a gigantic list of amendments designed to weaken it?

 

But anyways, This conflict risks completely collapsing Georgia as a nation. If that happens, yes, I think an agreement can be met to see neutral forces in the region. Even Russia would agree to that depending on the circumstances.
