It's increasingly clear that Russia will get their way:
- They'll annex Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
- They'll bomb the remaining infrastructure Georgia has in place, making it a useless country for a few years at least. We'll be lucky if they leave the oil pipeline intact.
- They'll have sent a clear message to Ukraine and NATO's expansion plans.
- They still hold the energy card especially over Europe, maybe even more strongly than before.
They put their military where their mouth was, and NATO didn't. So far, it's all words from the Western side and I'm suspecting it will stay that way. Score one point for Russia. Call me pessimistic but I think Russia called our bluff and we just stood and watched.
A very sad sequence of events in the last few days.
