#1 There is nothing to mediate. Weak Russia assigned territory to Georgia, in trust (Russians would be a minority in same) when the Commonwealth of Independent States was formed. The Georgian government chose to take an anti-Russia stance, and aided Chechen Islamofascists. The minority Russians suffered, with the last straw being the Georgian occupation of the trust lands. Russia invaded to protect nationals, similar to the Grenada and Kosovo (by Fraud) operations and acted to pre-empt co-option of NATO on behalf of an extremist regime. In spite of Georgian propaganda about civilian targeting, oil motivation and total war, the Russians halted in the trust lands and Georgians agreed to a cease fire. Unfortunately, some Western demagogues became prisoners of the rhetoric of a dirty regime that sought our endorsement of jeopardization of minority Russians. Next stage: the Stalin-Gamsakurdia cult will lose all Georgian support and Russia will be seen as their natural ally in face of Islamofascist Turkey, another dirty entity that leaches off NATO.

Number of lies that I was duped into believing, in this affair: ZERO.

How to avoid being duped by deceivers: get the facts, and don't trust demagogues.
