#2 INTERFAX > both SOUTH OSSETIA + ABKHAZIA have asked RUSSIA to formally recognize their independence from GEORGIA. It remains to be seen iff such potential recognition from Russ will end-up wid one or both Muslim enclaves being formally RE-INTEGRATED WID RUSSIA PROPER.

As per my earlier POSTS ala RUSS FEARS OF FUTURE NUCLEAR ISLAMISM [Russ Center, HIGH BIRTH RATES], + "living space" and hegemony-minded, already nuke-armed CHINA [Russ Far East], RUSSO-GEORGIAN CONFLICT + RECOGN OF SOVEREIGN MUSLIM ENCLAVES = THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT RUSS, IFF NOT VERY CAREFUL, MAY END UP UNILATER CONTRIB TO A NEW DESTABILIZ + BREAK-UP OF ITS OWN POST-COLD WAR SELF [Russ "Kosovo(s)]"???
