#1 Same tactic used by Hitler. Had to invade to protect it's citizens in other countries.

Georgia will soon be the newest member of the New Socialist Republic of The New Soviet Union.

World forgotten. But now that this tactic is out in the open, Russians would have a hard time to make it stick. The countries that would have been a target are starting to apply counter measures.

Georgia will soon be the newest member of the New Socialist Republic of The New Soviet Union.

That is not Putin's goal. He wants vassal statelets that he can squeeze, but does not have to provide for them, incorporation would mean dilution of the profit margin. He does not look back to SU, but quite a bit further in the past-- Golden Horde = a modicum of independence of vassals, but with a huge tribute for a guaranteed "protection". And no such sillines like pipelines that are not controlled by him or his cronies.
