The first of the Georgian forces withdrawn from Iraq over the weekend have already arrived in Gori, 15 miles from the South Ossetian border,
The Times can confirm, and appear to be in no mood for peace.
"We will drink Russian blood," said Badri, one of the contingent newly arrived from Iraq.
Are the Russians in for a surprise? These are the best Georgian troops, trained and equipped to NATO standards.
@bardicverse: That scenario is far enough and complicated enough that I don't have a good answer. By the time that happens there will have been many wars, possibly a few redrawings of the map and hopefully enough alternative energy investment that running out of cheap oil doesn't mean a big die-off for the population. I believe the current wars are already caused to a big extent by this problem. We're seeing USA invading the 4th (3rd?) country with the most oil and Russia apparently sending a message about the West's energy routes and using their petro-power for blackmail.
The world's oil supply is already pretty tight, just look at the big increases and decreases in prices lately. Volatile prices are an indication of supply/demand having a hard time keeping up with each other.
