Georgia v Russia: By numbers

	Georgia	Russia:
Population	4.6 million	140 million
Army	18,000	400,000
Tanks	128	23,000
Fighter jets	9	1,736

 

 Georgia might as well just lay down and surrender.

I guess the point is that this war is not about the fighting, it's about how far each side wants to go...

 

Prior to WW2, Finland kicked out the Russians by only using speed and small elite skiing teams. Numbers don't matter.

 

As for the current matter, hot damn this could either turn ugly real fast, or the Russians will go in, stamp on everything they deem not worthy and be out of their before either the UN or Nato can shout "Resolution". After which a lot of allegations will be thrown either side.

I lean somewhat to the latter

 

Actually, Finland lost that, but they did put up a good fight.

Georgia doesn't have much hope of succesfully defending if Russia wants to go further, but they can't just surrender.
