| 2008-08-06 |
| Russia indicated yesterday that it might take action if violence in the Georgian breakaway province of South Ossetia escalates. Last weekend six died in clashes between Georgian forces and separatist guerrillas in Tskhinvali, the South Ossetian capital. Yuri Popov, a Russian special ambassador, said: "If events develop according to the worst-case violence scenario, Russia will not allow itself to remain indifferent," according to Interfax news agency. |

| #4 Russia has a problem. If they let one region go the others want ot leave as well. They need to develop special autonomous regions like the Chinese do. Then let the region more or less do what they want. Create close economic ties to hold them enthrall while defuising nationalist tendencies. |
