As for the Georgia dispute I am quite clear what the true story is, without the Russian or EU bias. Georgia invaded a territory that Russia felt it had some control over.
The problem is you never tempt the Russian bear (as Hitler found to his disaster), as it is never clear how it will react or how well organized it will become. Georgia found that out to its cost.
Georgia will find it's port occupied from many years to come, and it will have to live under a cloud of fear. But if Georgia had left the Russian protectorate alone his country wouldn't be in this mess. How slowly these former Bloc states realize, though the cold war is over Russia is still a dangerous bear at their gates.
Russia already warned Europe with the internet attacks, why do these former states tempt it, Georgia is doomed to have parts of its country under Russian domination. I just hope that other states don't fall into the same mess Georgia has.
OOC: Do not worry I have my own military strategy for Georgia.
1. Sweep in through Turkey and bomb the rail and roads connecting Georgia to Russia
2. Move troops to surround the Russians at the port
3. Move troops through to Georgia Capital
4. Threaten Russian troops at the port
5. Demand Russian withdraw (or just simply take all those Russian troops prisoner)
6. Russia pulls out of Georgia but stays in Oscetia,etc
There you go. If Russia gets too pushy there is a way out.
