#1 WAFF.com > SOUTH OSSETIA WANTS TO BE PART OF RUSSIA + WAR IMMINENT/LOOMS BWTN GEORGIA AND SOUTH OSSETIA + SOUTH OSSETIA BEGINS MOBILIZING FORCES, BEGINS SENDING WOMEN, CHILDREN TO RUSSIA.

*Bullah artiiikles on KOMMERSANT today > RUSSIAN AIR FORCE DESIRES TO BEGIN PATROLS IN INDIAN OCEAN + US ARMS CACHE/HOARD FOUND IN KYRGYZSTAN + RUSSIA TO SET UP MISSLE DEFENSE IN CAUCASUS, CNETRAL ASIA + THE DEFENSE MINISTRY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE USA IS THE MAIN THREAT TO RUSSIA.

Methinks this means VLADVEDEV now formally recognizes that OSAMA, etal. = RADICAL ISLAM is gunning for the pro-Islamist destabilization and domin of CENTRAL ASIA, ala "THERE CAN ONLY BE TWO" [US-Allies + Radical islam] + MACKINDERIAN WAR FOR EURASIA!

#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.
