In relation to the current situation in Georgia, the international community issued many statements: In general, it is calling confronted parties to respect International Law, and for an immediate end to the armed clashes and resumption of direct talks. In New York, at Russia's request, an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council was held, but failed to reach an agreement on immediately halting of fighting.
Both Georgia and Russia traded counter-accusations; whiles Georgia accused Russia for invasion of land, air, and sea, Russia accused Georgia of genocide against South Ossetians.
According to the latest development there are some pertinent questions that should be asked; these include:
Will the United States seize the opportunity in the current situation in Georgia as an excuse to invade Iran, since they are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan? By the way, Iran is right in the neighbourhood.
Will the NATO and the EU intervene, and in which form?
Will Russia use the Kosovo situation as an example for South Ossetia?
Is this war foundation of larger Euro-Asian conflicts?
It is still not quite clear what will happen next; however one thing is obvious no country will dare to use military force against Russia, especially not in isolation.

What? Just because Russia attacks and wins by defeating a country that does not have armaments makes Russia a big bad bear?
Lets see how long it takes for Russia to completely withdraw their military from Georgian due to the US presence.
And that article is biased due to the authors origin...

Originally posted by magicmushroom...its nothing but provocative and Russia has every right to intervene just as the US did in the Cuba crisis, again its double standards from the US.
Originally posted by magicmushroom And buffoon Bush and co have made it quite clear that they intend to attack Iran at some point so yes the Russian bear will get involved in that conflict.

The US military might be weakened and tired. Due to it's recent wars and stupid politicians, but that doesn't make it weak. The US military still is one of the strongest,well trained, and most battle experinced modern military. That doesn't mean that it doesn't have some powerful foes. Everyone knows that. We would still spank the Russian military up and down Russia. It's going to be obvious how Russia reacts to United States presence. And were not the only countries in the world that are getting pissed off at Russia. Georgia has been trying to plea to the whole world on their situation.
