#1 VARIOUS WAFF.com Threads > e.g. GEORGIA INVADES SOUTH OSSETIA - RUSSIA WARNS MAY [militarily?]INTERVEN ON SOUTH OSSETIAN SIDE.

IMO, Russia now formally recognizes that Radical Islam is intent on the [pro-Islamist] destabilizing and domination of CENTRAL ASIA INCLUD FORMER SOVIET SSRS + INDUCE NEW BREAKUP OF POST-USSR RUSSIA AMAP. It feels its position in Eurasia is steadily becom threatened by China on one side + Nuclearizing Iran = Radical Islam on the other.

USA > WAR OUTSIDE OF IRAQ proper; versus RUSSIA > WAR OUTSIDE OF CHECHNYA, SOUTH OSSETIA, ETC.???

#2 The only option for the Russians is a large scale troop deployment. In effect, invade S Ossetia. I personally doubt they will, but I'm by no means sure.

#3 phil_b:

Invade S. Ossetia? Hell, Russia will probably invade Georgia.

#4 Nothing much will happen: Georgia will get a new president, one who lives in a real world.
