It looks a lot like Cold War 2. It is interesting to me that Russia Chose the night of the opening Olympic Ceremonies in Beijing to invade Georgia. If I lived in any countries that lived behind the old "Iron Curtain" I would be pretty scared right now. However, if that country is primarily Moslem, I would be less concerned than if your nation is a Christian nation. One of the reasons the old Soviet Union flew apart was that they just couldn't financially afford to police the most Muslim parts of their nation and stay financially solvent. That may still be true.
No. I think Russia is primarily interested in cornering the Oil Market and trying to be one of the biggest oil monopolizers on earth. So, Georgia, Iran and Even Saudi Arabia should watch very carefully what Russia does now.
Also, in their eyes they are only following the United States lead when they took Iraq. So Russia may take Georgia and then keep going into Iran eventually to monopolize the oil there as well. What the U.S. did to Iraq is very problematic for the West at this time. How can the U.S. or Europe really be that upset with Russia after the U.S. and Europe moved into Iraq? Precedent is everything on the world stage. New Rules!
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
